Title: Omega Series on ebay
Post by: edwardofhuncote on July 29, 2015, 09:05:54 PM

They're calling it a Series II, but we know different. Still a very pretty bass... iconic, classic.

Yeah, I thought that 35 scale was unusual too.  
 
Unless I'm missing something, it *is* a Series I... lack of Master Volume and CVQ's, 2 purpleheart lams rather than 3... maybe the Omega body threw them off.  
 
Looks like maybe Koa top and back laminates. (?)
 
 I do declare the Standard Omega is my favorite of all. =)

I was thinking the same thing too and since I'm interested I sent the seller an e-mail asking for clarification. It now looks like it's listed as a Series I and there has been a bit of a drop in price.

Good luck Brian... that's a sweet bass, and looks to be in nice condition too.

Gone already or ended.  Possible Pre-selling remorse. Still looking for a used Series I or II at a reasonable price.
