Not sure if it is


98OW11410 USA
or
980W11410 USA


The zero 0 & capital 'oh' O look the same. It's an Orion 5 lefty I have, and it's leaning with the back to me, so I noticed the serial number, hence this post. Never bothered before to think about it. Would be nice to know its history.

Ok. Thank you very much.
It was great to hear about the history of the bass. I also found out why 90K  :) .... well .... it wasn't a big problem for me  ;D
Of course, the woods that used in the bass had already been looked at during the purchase phase, but still....
The bass is of very high quality and the details have been carefully considered.
Great great professional work!
..... and the sound ..... well it's THE :)
