Title: 2005 Orion on ebay
Post by: garethnh on June 12, 2008, 12:20:52 PM

Really nice looking bass this, in good order too by looks of pictures. Is the buy it now a fair price? What would this normally go for?

Nice looking Orion; the Purpleheart neck lams are a nice upgrade.

There is just something special about a Crown headstock.

That's my ex-bass, and for a matter of fact, those are my pictures. Traded it for 'Blondie', my Series I shortscale.
Otherwise I would've never let it go, fabulous instrument. Very cool 'custom' features for an Orion.
Providing it's still in the same (mint) condition, it's a decent asking price IMHO.

It is in the same mint condition Wilfred, pampered.
The reason for selling has nothing to do with the bass or financial problems. I'm not happy to let it go but, you know, sometimes you have to.
 
Best,
Manfred

I removed the bass from ebay, it is now for sale at The Bass Connection in the Netherlands for those of you who are interested.
