first, since Iīm new. Iīm an organ/kbd player who also play guitar and some bass, and with a passion for good instruments. (Hammond/Martin/Fender/Alembic) Iīve had this Elan for some years, but know very little about it. (apart from being a great playing/sounding bass thatīs absolute in tune all over) Itīs in all blue met. laquer, so I donīt realy know what kind of wood it is. ( It sounds and feel like all maple ) I also wonder if itīs usual that the ser.no. is put on the fretboard? It would be nice to see if Mica (I understand you are The One when it comes to Alembicknowledge) could find out something about it. Thanks for any help. Great forum. Kjell | ||

Welcome! :-) Most Elans have a Maple body and 3 piece Maple neck, so you probably got that right. We love pictures here, please start your own Elan thread in the showcase section or post some pictures here. ;-) | ||

Welcome! Throughout the 1980s, the serial no was usually stamped into the fingerboard. Not sure when they changed that. | ||
