Kind of reminscent of Flax's Orion V (nicknamed "Phil") that he sold recently on EBAY, albeit with different top lam. davehouck Moderator Username: davehouck Post Number: 2615 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Monday, November 21, 2005 - 7:56 am:    I agree, with that top and those electronics it is a nice bass. The description does mention a number of nicks and some buckle scratches, but apparently nothing to keep it from being a great looking player. Interestingly, only a three day listing. mica Moderator Username: mica Post Number: 2819 Registered: 6-2000 Posted on Monday, November 21, 2005 - 8:47 am:    I think the bass actually has a Canarywood top, as I don't ever remember a Teak top. If I recall, this bass has a Essence electronics with a Q switch. davehouck Moderator Username: davehouck Post Number: 2618 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Monday, November 21, 2005 - 1:33 pm:    Thanks Mica!
