Thanx Mica!
 
Gregory: That was a bummer indeed... But I think this five string will feel more natural to me, my other fiver also has the comfort taper with a longscale neck.
I don't really need two fretless basses though, so I think one of them will get some ovals + iron eventually. The one with the best fretless tone will be spared this Blackadder worthy cunning plan. :-)

Hi Mica      Just acquired an Orion bass and would like to do this mod. I have the filter pcb and Q switches. can this cable be purchased or is there a schematic I can wire this up to... Have the sockets of the PCBs.

I have the little adapter cables in stock. Send me an email with your contact details (phone number, shipping address), and we'll make the arrangements to get it to you.

Installed the pan preamp, added a filter, made up a 3 position Q switch, and got some new knobs from THG for the Orion 5 string. All good now. Yes it's lefty. 😁

Well done. Not too crowded with the knobs on the outside. Did you have much carving to do inside? (in case anyone else is considering the mod)

Not much carving, did have to shave one the stems supporting the backplate. 😁😁
