Walnut top, rogue headstock..£1495 seems fair enough but perhaps the seller is open to negotiate a little! I would like this one myself, but I had a sizeable debt to santa on the night before Xmas Check out ebay.co.uk and check it out! grateful Advanced Member Username: grateful Post Number: 257 Registered: 12-2004 Posted on Thursday, January 03, 2008 - 12:16 pm:    Here's the link: signature electronics too. jazzyvee Senior Member Username: jazzyvee Post Number: 1057 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Thursday, January 03, 2008 - 5:53 pm:    Ouch thats lovely.... so very tempting. But having just spent my spare cash on a holiday... That orion is just going to have someone elses name on it.

I said that to myself many many times as this was for sale months ago by the original owner whom was a former Alembic employee I believe. lembic76450 Intermediate Member Username: lembic76450 Post Number: 114 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Sunday, January 06, 2008 - 11:35 am:    I am still kicking myself for not pulling the trigger earlier on this Walnut beauty. I fought the battle of trying to justify based on the amount of gigs these days.

He was once employed by the mothership and he made this while he was with them. white_cloud Intermediate Member Username: white_cloud Post Number: 184 Registered: 11-2007 Posted on Monday, January 07, 2008 - 12:56 pm:    What an interesting bass! Thanks Danny. I emailed the seller and passed this info on to him, he actually seems a very genuine chap! Seems a reasonable price for an Orion here in the UK, i want it (have convinced myself that I need a 5 string!)but alas it is not to be this time jazzyvee Senior Member Username: jazzyvee Post Number: 1067 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Sunday, January 13, 2008 - 7:28 am:    That bass is gonna give me sleepless nights.... It's just passed the auction close date and still not sold. Maybe he's gonna have to drop the price...,, if it's by the right amount we may have a battle on our hands Mr White_Cloud... hhaha Jazzyvee white_cloud Intermediate Member Username: white_cloud Post Number: 198 Registered: 11-2007 Posted on Sunday, January 13, 2008 - 8:43 am:    Jazzyvee, it would have to plummit to fall into my current price range..and after talking to the seller I really dont see that happening! He knows its a "good-un" and already believes it is "priced to sell" It will be interesting to see if he re-lists it at a different price! John.
