Next week I'll be putting this bass on the Demo Model section of the website, but I offer it here first. Alembic Club membership has it's privileges.  
 

 
It's a 2005 Orion bass, comfort taper neck, Flame Maple top. Amber/red side LEDs on Ebony fingerboard. There are a few minor dings on the back, but otherwise in great shape. It's sold as a new bass with a full warranty. Price is $2900 and includes a hardshell case. A new 2009 Orion would run $7950 retail with case for reference and the specs for the 2005 and 2009 are the same.

Thank God it isn't fretless.
 
That might've been a non-survivable event.

Since I received several inquiries over the weekend for more photos, I'm including them here as well:

Only the ding on the side has made a slight break in the finish, which we've already put a drop of glue on to arrest it's progression.  
 
There's a few more scant dings on the body, but these are the only ones that I can capture in an image.

The fretboard looks interesting. Is that ebony? I see some flame like hues in the neck. Pretty cool!
 
OO

The fingerboard is Ebony. It's the same as we used on Yahya's Big Bass.

I thought that fretboard looked familiar!  It was also used on my plum- http://alembicguitars.net/info/fc_plum.html
 
This is some nice ebony, people!

Nice guitar Bluplist(That Ph neck must be rock solid!)>
 
I dig the fretboard on these guitars, the absence of inlays allow that beautiful Ebony to make a statement.
