Nice looking 89 elan for sale. Is it currently under the ownership of someone who frequents this neck of the woods. http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/141482762345?item=141482762345&lgeo=1&vectorid=229466 |

What a small world, I just checked the serial number on my 89 Elan 4 and it is the next bass made after the one in this auction. It's the same colour but with different electronics and pickup configuration, so I guess that makes them twins but not identical. :-) |

I thought I had seen one of a similar color on this site and without checking back at your previous posts thought it looked similar to yours. This answers the question. |

That's cool jazzy. That would be a needle in a haystack with most basses. I've often wondered what the instruments made sequentially right before and after mine are. As close as I have seen was an 89 Spoiler on here, made within a few numbers of my Persuader. |
