    Hi, No it does not have stainless steel frets. They are standard NS (nickel silver alloy).

      How does the tone of this compare to a normal P/J? Can it get a solid P bass tone? I play a lot of punk music and this bass has really got my eye, but just not sure how the tone compares to the standard jazz and P basses!

        Hi James, When comparing EMG P/J pickups to traditional P/J passive pickups, there is a difference. The EMG sound is very clear, sharp, focused and not so round or warm as a traditional P/J passive. There is no noise with EMG also which is great. They are really punchy sounding. I'd say if you haven't tried one you gotta give it a shot. Chances are it will blow you away with the sound.

          Hello ESP! So I’m used to playing thin C necks on my Schecter bass, and I really want to buy this bass, but I’m not sure how the Thin U would compare to it. Would it be as comfortable, and would it be that much more different? Any info would be amazing, thanks!

            Hi James, The Orion 5 bass has a very comfortable neck shape and I believe it will be similar with what you are used to. It's not super thin but it's not very thick in my opinion. Here are the measurements of this neck. 20.5mm thick @1F / 22.5mm thick @ 12F / 45mm wide at nut / 67mm wide at last fret. Hope this helps.

                  Hi ESP/LTD!
                  This bass looks killer and I consider buying one. But at the most webshops I see(and read) it has Seymour Duncan pickups, but here at espguitars.com it says it features EMG's. Have there been a change of the model? Like it even more if there is EMG's in it.

                  Thank you in advance!

                    Hi Heem, Yes when this model was first released it was made with Seymour Duncan pickups, then it was changed to EMG at the beginning of this year. So you might find dealers who have Seymour Duncan pickups mostly unless they ordered and received their stock more recently (maybe in the past few months).
