I've decided to sell my Elan.

Pictures of her can be found here...

http://alembic.com/club/messages/411/11515.html?1093431605

The build sheet is as follows...

1988 long scale 4 string Elan bass
quilted maple top
maple neck
ebony fretboard
maple body
p/jz pickups
elan electronics
clear red finish
brass hardware
Sold through Steve's Quality Music

She's in great condition, recently set-up by a professional and plays like all dream.

If anybody is interested then please drop me an e-mail. If I don't receive any reasonable offers by the end of next week, Friday 24th, I will be posting her up on eBay.

Only serious offers please. Payment can be made via Paypal only.

Regards, fungke.

Thanks for all the kind offers I've received so far. I will be taking them into concideration and will make my discission on Friday 24th.

Just answering some of the questions I received...

The original case is suppled and is in just as good condition as the bass itself.

Many have asked why I want to sell her so soon. To be truthful, I'm funding another purchase, which if successful, will be posted in the 'Showcase' section very soon.

The other main reason is that I would rather have a medium scale.

Please feel free to drop me a e-mail if you have any further questions.

All the best,
fungke.

Paul, Paul, are you there? Not choking while reciting that mantra are you? Sometimes you just have to go with the flow. Some things just have to be, you know... And Elans are very beautiful instruments, I know what I'm talking about!

(Well Andrew, maybe this helps?)

After careful consideration of all the offers, I've decided to put her up on eBay. I feel that $800 - $900 is selling her short, giving the condition etc...

Therefore, I'll give it another couple of days. Just to give those interested parties a chance to 'up-the-offer'. I don't think offers around $1200 are unreasonable.

Best Regards, fungke.
