The serial #90H6166 USA is in front of the 1st pickup. What can you tell me about this bass & electronics & switches. Thanks, Ron adriaan Moderator Username: adriaan Post Number: 2490 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Wednesday, May 26, 2010 - 1:21 am:    Hi Ron, welcome to the Club! Going by the serial number, you have a 1990 Elan model. You can look up information on the standard controls here at the club, under FAQ & Must Reads » FAQ » Elan Basses. Here's the page for the Elan Controls. Be sure to post some pictures here or on the Showcase thread for the Elan. It may take a while for your request to be honored, but we can start making some educated guesses from the pictures. I've added the serial number to the thread title, to help with the lookup.
