Quite a beauty. I love the finish. I'm guessing volume, pan, & filter (Essence electronics)?

Hey Mike, Thanks for the compliment. The birdseye is really something to behold. The Essence electronics were what sold me on this bass. I've been tempted to add a Q-switch to her, but I am hesitant since this was the first wineburst produced. I'm afraid if a hole was drilled, it might actually bleed. ...Joel

Congratulations! That's the bass that triggered my jones for Wineburst finishes. I bought a used Elan and had it refinished, then had a custom Mark King Deluxe built with the Wineburst finish. Enjoy that bass, it's got to be a keeper!

An Orion with Essence controls, with a Wineburst finish on Birds Eye Maple. Great bass!!

Wow....I bought that bass out of Canada brand new. I sold it and bought a Mark King Deluxe 5 in cocobolo, only to have it stolen five years later. Wish I would have kept that Orion. They are hard to come by.
