I consider also Elan or Europa models as well. jazzyvee Senior Member Username: jazzyvee Post Number: 3166 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Sunday, September 30, 2012 - 5:27 am:    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 marcinkus New Username: marcinkus Post Number: 4 Registered: 1-2012 Posted on Sunday, September 30, 2012 - 8:41 am:    Hi, I am considering it, but they want over 300 USD to ship it overseas... longhorncat Senior Member Username: longhorncat Post Number: 497 Registered: 8-2005 Posted on Sunday, September 30, 2012 - 9:04 am:    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. marcinkus New Username: marcinkus Post Number: 5 Registered: 1-2012 Posted on Sunday, September 30, 2012 - 7:38 pm:    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 jazzyvee Senior Member Username: jazzyvee Post Number: 3168 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Sunday, September 30, 2012 - 10:52 pm:    marcinkus, you have great taste, that bass is gorgeous.

One of the nicest Orion's I have seen.

Available basses for sale are listed in used basses section. alembication New Username: alembication Post Number: 1 Registered: 10-2012 Posted on Sunday, October 28, 2012 - 12:30 pm:    I have an Orion 4 in excellent condition I'd sell for $1,900 shipped.
