Alembic Club membership has it's privileges. It's a 2005 Orion bass, comfort taper neck, Flame Maple top. Amber/red side LEDs on Ebony fingerboard. There are a few minor dings on the back, but otherwise in great shape. It's sold as a new bass with a full warranty. Price is $2900 and includes a hardshell case. A new 2009 Orion would run $7950 retail with case for reference and the specs for the 2005 and 2009 are the same. mike1762 Advanced Member Username: mike1762 Post Number: 329 Registered: 1-2008 Posted on Friday, June 05, 2009 - 8:48 pm:    Well crap... if I hadn't bought another 6 string just 6 months ago!!! sonicus Member Username: sonicus Post Number: 85 Registered: 5-2009 Posted on Friday, June 05, 2009 - 10:43 pm:    AWESOME deal for someone !

That might've been a non-survivable event. 57basstra Senior Member Username: 57basstra Post Number: 965 Registered: 4-2005 Posted on Saturday, June 06, 2009 - 6:45 am:    enticing offer.... dannobasso Senior Member Username: dannobasso Post Number: 1040 Registered: 3-2004 Posted on Saturday, June 06, 2009 - 11:29 am:    If I didn't have a bass in the works it would be in Joisey dis week.

There's a few more scant dings on the body, but these are the only ones that I can capture in an image. olieoliver Senior Member Username: olieoliver Post Number: 2482 Registered: 2-2006 Posted on Monday, June 08, 2009 - 1:43 pm:    The fretboard looks interesting. Is that ebony? I see some "flame like" hues in the neck. Pretty cool!

It's the same as we used on Yahya's Big Bass. bluplirst Member Username: bluplirst Post Number: 59 Registered: 12-2004 Posted on Monday, June 08, 2009 - 11:18 pm:    I thought that fretboard looked familiar! It was also used on my plum- http://alembic.com/info/fc_plum.html This is some nice ebony, people! oggydoggy Intermediate Member Username: oggydoggy Post Number: 187 Registered: 3-2003 Posted on Tuesday, June 09, 2009 - 3:26 pm:    Nice guitar Bluplist(That Ph neck must be rock solid!)> I dig the fretboard on these guitars, the absence of inlays allow that beautiful Ebony to make a statement.
