Guess I won't ask any questions about it - hard to describe something you don't yet have in your possesion. nosajwp Junior Username: nosajwp Post Number: 11 Registered: 6-2003 Posted on Friday, July 25, 2003 - 1:02 pm:    How much are you asking? groovelines Member Username: groovelines Post Number: 76 Registered: 4-2003 Posted on Friday, July 25, 2003 - 1:44 pm:    there was an Orion 5 on ebay early this week, identified as an Epic, flame maple top. Is this it? cameronb000 New Username: cameronb000 Post Number: 2 Registered: 7-2003 Posted on Friday, July 25, 2003 - 4:54 pm:    Tsarter, As my post states, "I will have more info in a few days", when it arrives. I did a trade deal on it & am offering it for sale. I am not sure what is so strange about letting people know before it arrives that I intend to sell & will have a price & more info then. Feel free to email me if you have questions. elzie Intermediate Member Username: elzie Post Number: 156 Registered: 8-2002 Posted on Friday, July 25, 2003 - 5:30 pm:    Well, I have to agree with tsarter on this one. You could be in for quite a surprise if you havn't seen this bass in person. Do you know the person you are dealing with Cameron? I have to admit, from my own past experiences, it is best to wait until you have posession of the bass before you try to sell it. Especially a pricey one like an Alembic. Do you have the serial number? Posting that could help keep some interested people satisfied until you have pics;) I look forward to seeing pics of it, though. Good luck on your sale Cameron!

It just struck me as kind of funny. cameronb000 New Username: cameronb000 Post Number: 3 Registered: 7-2003 Posted on Friday, July 25, 2003 - 5:41 pm:    That's cool. I appreciate the thoughts. I have a comfort level with the person who had it to the point I can return it if not completely happy with it. I will be posting detailed info shortly & I will be sure to be accurate when I do. I do appreciate the input here. Sincerely, Cameron cameronb000 New Username: cameronb000 Post Number: 4 Registered: 7-2003 Posted on Monday, July 28, 2003 - 7:49 pm:    Here is a pic of the Orion 5. It is a solid bass in excellent condition, nice action, Alembic tone. It has a great flame on the top, Mahogany body, 9 piece lam. neck W/ebony board & Gold hardware. There is a small wear spot near the neck p/up, & very minor belt on back but not thru the finish. Comes W/fresh strings & nice mint hard shell case. I am asking $1295.00.
