Interesting set-neck Rogue at Bass Emporium. http://www.bassemporium.com/item.php?sku=990W12185 |

The inlay looks familiar. |

So, the electronics determine the model? The serial number indicates it's an Orion. Nice upgrades, though not sure it justifies the price. |

It's advertised as a Rogue, but since it's a set-neck it probably is an Orion with the Rogue body shape and electronics. No S/N advertised - it might be numbered as a C (for custom). |

I took "99OW12185" in the URL to be the serial number, "OW" being the Alembic nomenclature for an Orion. Could be wrong. |

I've been looking at this one for months and noticed there was no sustain block and maybe it was built BTC. So now the serial# tells the tale that it is a modified Orion. A bit much since it's not neck-through. I saw a Rogue 6 string at the Atlanta Get Hurt Center for around $3500.00. |

That thing has been up there forever, since I started looking at Alembics nearly a year ago iirc. I'm sure they've been told more than once by now that it's really an Orion.... |

Yeah I imagine the reason it's been there so long is it is overpriced for a used Orion - even with custom options. |
