Beautiful. My Orion was also a couple of years old and in mint condition. I'll buy something used, but it has to look like it came from the factory yesterday. Kind of limiting, but nice when it works out.

Thank you, I'm very fussy about the condition.I always try and keep them looking good.I've sold basses in the past that have been a few years old and the buyer has always been amazed at the condition.

What kind of strings do you have on that?

I almost bought an orion bass earlier this summer it was a fantastic bass but it was a bit more than I wanted to pay at the time.

hahaha, Keavin, I quite like that photo. It's one of the rare ones of me that I like. The guitar is incredible, I got it last December year off ebay. It's my main guitar for touring now.
 
As for bass I ended up finding a fantastic Europa 5 that was being sold by a guy in the club.
Cool. I'm happy.
All in need now is a series I or II. But thats for a future date.
