Hi Carlos, Found it! Here's the details from the instrument file: OLB5 Orion 5-string bass top: Flame Walnut accent: Maple pinstripe body: Mahogany neck: 5-piece Maple scale: 34" long fingerboard: Rosewood taper: custom 1.75 x 2.75 (@22nd fret) inlays: Pearloid (plastic) ovals finish: Satin Natural Polyurethane (oil-look) body shape: Epic electronics: volume, pan, bass, treble, mono output originally made for: Guitar Center, San Jose, CA birthday: January 14, 1998 One thing that is ambiguous about the build is the number of frets. The dimensions are specs for the 22nd fret, but there's no note that says there are only 22 frets on the fingerboard. It's not uncommon to get a measurement from the 21-22 fret and still put 24 frets on, this one just isn't explicit, but at least that's a spec you can confirm yourself. Ooops! This bass has a Rosewood fingerboard. Now I'm pretty sure it's a 22 fretter. Just seem to remember this bass that way. (Message edited by mica on December 28, 2010) |
