Just love the 5A Quilted Maple - could sink into it. I have a normal year 2000 Zebrawood Orion 4 which is perfect. What are East meets West electronics? The Q must have been an option.

Combining wesr coast (Alembic) and east coast (Fender style boutique) into one bass.Combine that w/the set neck on an Orion (no Alembic bolt-ons)and you get the picture.......=) murray Member Username: murray Post Number: 96 Registered: 7-2007 Posted on Wednesday, February 08, 2012 - 9:56 am:    Thanks -all clear now and have found, by Googling ,a bass on Alembic website some years ago as the custom bass of the month which features this EMW. http://www.alembic.com/info/fc_emw.html murray Member Username: murray Post Number: 100 Registered: 7-2007 Posted on Monday, February 13, 2012 - 1:23 am:    Just to publicly thank Stoney for emailing more photos of this lovely instrument. Sadly I am not in the market as my 2000 Orion 4 is doing all I want but if I could justify spending (having just bought Genz Benz/Streamliner set up!) then this would be high.
