Serial #000W12344 [shouldn't that be 00OW12344?]. Comes w/ hard shell case.

The shop listed it as an Epic, don't blame me ;D. Serial # and body shape say Orion, controls say Essence?

well whatever it is it's a nice bass.  i tink a little overpriced but that's how i roll.

always been a neck-thru guy when it comes to fretlessesss.  ya don't see unlined long scale 5-strings fretless alembics of any stripe very often.  any enlightenment how this would stack up against yer average everyday 5-string fretless essence?

Very nice Orion! Put in an offer. We shall see...
Someone else should buy this before I do.  ;)

This one has turned up on Reverb again, with a modest price bump.

It's listed as "Alembic Essence 5 string bass guitar Lacewood Top", which exactly matches (and accurately describes) another bass listed by the same seller - a little careless cutting'n'pasting perhaps?
