  The (first) pictures, more to come after I've got my hands on a digicam!

 
Isn't she lovely..?

 
Between friends...

The contrasts on your walnut really show up well in these photos.  Very nice.
The Guild is one funky looking bass.  I love it.

  Been playin' with my new digicam...

hey man, that (de'armond) is exactly like mine but mine is white.

Hello Keavin. This was my first bass, bought it new for a ridiculously low price just before Fender killed the DeArmond brand (and the whole line of Pilot basses with it). It's in a different league than my Orion off course, but those DeArmonds sure are nice 'budget' basses, aren't they?

oh hell yeah,!! got mine for only $225.00, (new!)

 
With new strings, DR Black Beauties, they really add to that fabulous 'understated gothic' look I love so much about this bass.

Man, I really love this bass...

I like that last picture; it really highlights the beauty of the top wood.
 
Oh, and I like the carpet too!

Thanks! The carpet is Turkish, and a bit dusty too I'm afraid: the downside of high res. pics ;-)

Beautiful, Wilfred - I have always loved the look of your Orion and the Black Beauties look excellent on it.
