I've asked once about the story of my Elan, if possible. But so many time passed and I can't find any answer. Can you tell me something about this bass? I bought it used in London The Bass Gallery store. thank you. best regards {edited for picture alignment - Adriaan} (Message edited by adriaan on April 21, 2010) adriaan Moderator Username: adriaan Post Number: 2468 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Wednesday, April 21, 2010 - 6:42 am:    Nice one! The purpleheart neck laminates are an upgrade, and that's a nice flame walnut top. The ears on the tuners look a bit odd, perhaps. jazzyvee Senior Member Username: jazzyvee Post Number: 1920 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Wednesday, April 21, 2010 - 10:26 am:    That sure is a beauty. I just love the shape of Elan basses. I have a 4 string but a 5 would be magic.
