Hmmm... can you double check the serial number? I'm showing as a 4-string Orion in Walnut

Hi Mica,

Ups has just delivered the bass from Germany. After a quick examination seen that the number is wrong, sorry... The 8 is a 6... :-\ The real serialnumber is 99OW12160...

Thanks again!

Cheers,


Yasmine
