2003 Orion in Cherry sunburst. It's a looker!

that's a beautiful mahogany in the back !!!

Very nice to see the gloss finish on set-neck models, not many are out there.

Takeo

I think Dan caught that one at a Guitar Center a while back. Nobody commented on it, but I am a total washout for cherry-burst. 😍

One of the nicest Orions I have seen. That gloss finish and color fits the Orion shape very well.

Very nice burst! Seller points out the finish checking where one might rest their right arm; I missed it at first.

Sometimes one rage-shops after a long, overly irritating end to an otherwise good week. This was one of those times.

This little gem will be in my hands by next weekend's gigs.

My standard answer is to offer Congratulations & Compliments anytime someone scores a new bass. So there ya' go! I just can't remember ever rage-buying a guitar.

I rage-sold a VW one morning. And never looked back. Fahrvergnügen. Just Google it if you're younger than 55.
