I was wondering what the price would be on a brass and/or a maple Back plate for my incoming Elan Plus. The plastic one on it now is the only sign the bass show of its age. There is a chip missing on the edge of a screw hole. If one of you fine folks out at Alembic could quote me a replacement I would be much obliged : ) Matt | ||

Hello Matt, cost for a brass plate is 55$. We can also make a maple plate for you for 250$ , but probably it would look a bit odd, since the finish on the bass is obviously older than the finish we would put on the new one; also the grain wouldn't match that of the back of your bass; Mica & I discussed this and thought of suggesting using a different wood, perhaps Ebony like the top & headstock, or possibly purpleheart like the neck laminates.
