Again, for the fans of this design (I'm not speaking electronics here): there is this really georgeous white five string on E-bay. I guess you all saw it already? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2533467991&category=4713#DESC |

Very cool indeed! A bit 80's style (there's nothing wrong with that!)... And I'm really surprised to see "P" pickups on a 5-string! |

Funny thing is I don't think it's an Orion from the heel carving shape. Electronics look like Signature with an on/off for the LEDs. Nice description but no serial number in the listing. Looks like a 5-string version of the bass that was on the inside front cover of the previous brochure. P pickups on a 5-string are restricted to a limited range of string spacing so the A string doesn't get picked up by both halves of the split pickup. |

Mica, what I understand from Alembic models it's the body-shape of the Vector and indeed close to the model in that brochure I posted somewhere else on this club. Paul TBO |
