Wow , , it has been 10 Years !!! OMG , ,
My life has taken Many Turns in that amount of time . .
I'd like to apologize to (jack) and (57basstra)
for not getting back to these questions ..
Mostly , ALL these sound very similar,,
Well that being said , the vermillion 6-string seemed to have a tighter more defined tone ,,,
I'm not sure if it was mostly the vermillion top or the massive SOLID neck that didn't give an inch .
I think the solid neck made the strings act a little different and easier to play ,,
I cant really say why except the tension seemed less per string
,, Very nice bass!!! one of the best I ever had ,, I hated to get rid of it but ,, (always a big but!) it was a little wide for me 6 is too many ,hehe,, and i wanted to make the new Orion 5-string my main player.
