Hi, I am looking for a MINT condition Orion bass, 4 string only. I consider also Elan or Europa models as well. |

This looks a nice one, though it's in the USA so shipping and duty may be something to think about. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Alembic-4-String-Bass-Guitar-USED-Active-Electronics-W-OHSC-USA-Made-/150910640459?pt=Guitar&hash=item2322f9a14b#ht_500wt_1180 Jazzyvee |

Hi, I am considering it, but they want over 300 USD to ship it overseas... |

It will cost them a lot more than $300 to ship the bass to Italy if they want it insured. USPS only costs $100, but insurance is limited to $650. FedEx and UPS are closer to $500. |

However... they seem not to be really interested in selling it, as they do not answer to my mails. This would be my dream bass: http://www.thelowend.net/gallery/viewtopic.php?t=5073&sid=0b4e0a04cc8296771d14be35a847d387 |

The Low End bass looks like Adam's (2400wattman) old Orion. One of the nicest Orion's I have seen. Keith |

The bass above at the Low End Bass Shop is in the Alembic gallery (previously sold by The Low End). Available basses for sale are listed in used basses section. |

I have an Orion 4 in excellent condition I'd sell for $1,900 shipped. |
