Nice Orion on Reverb - $3,500

Looks like an Orion-shaped body (which I happen to really dig) but not Orion electronics because there's only 3 controls. Volume, pan, filter? I wonder if adding a Q switch would be practical?

Anyway, looks like a nice bass at a price that might actually move quickly.

That’s an Orion with Essence controls (volume, Pan, Filter).  I would add a 3-position Q-switch.  Great basses (no affiliation).

I own a 5-string Orion with the Essence controls and added a Q switch to it. It made a big difference. I don't really play it much anymore and have started to think about selling it. I will post here if I decide to.
