Interesting red bass guitar. What brand is it, by the way?

It's a new brand Sergio. They call it an Orville.
Orville Redenbacher.

That's the series that throws me. They started the 2000 series as replacements for the 3000 series (?), producing two models, the 2030 (unbound) and the 2050 (bound). OK, then they changed them a few years later with electronics that seem similar (if not identical) to the 4004 series, designating the two as 2020 (unbound) and 2060 (bound). So why did they go down in numbers with one, and up with the other (2030 -> 2020; 2050 -> 2060)? Why not go 2030 to 2040? And to make it a little stranger, the Glenn Frey signature edition that came out at the time of the 2020/2060 was set up the same as the 2020 but was designated 2030GF. There is one page in RIC literature that shows the GF signature models as the 230GF (guitar) and the 203GF (bass). That typo can be confusing, too.
