Very nice, what are the electronics installed? They look like filter based Essence modeled.
Enjoy! Alembics are fine instruments!
Peace,
Pete

Hi,

Thanks for the comments! I love the bass and look forward to having a lot of fun with it. The build card states: one volume, one pan, one tone. It looks like the tone is a low pass filter. I'm not sure if those controls are all standard on the Orion bass, but looking at the website it looks like they are standard for the Essence bass.

Those are Essence controls. That would be considered and upgrade from the standard Orion controls.

That is a very nice looking top. Have fun with it.

Thanks again, Keith! It's hard concentrating at work during the day knowing this is at home waiting for me! "...I don't want work, I just want to play on the bass all day..."!
