Looks like maybe Signature electronics too.

*edit - I see LED's too, which accounts for one switch. Hmm... puzzle. Definitely not stock Elan.

Edward those are fretfx led's you can see the wire on the head stock shots. My guess would be that it does have signature electronics because the battery acts as the on and off switch for fretfx. Nice looking bass at a decent price. Too bad it's pick up only.

Ha! My next question was gonna be "hey, what's that gizmo on the headstock for?". =)

Agree, that's a slick bass at a decent price. If I were in the hunt, I'd pitch the guy some more $$ to ship.

Also, no inlays on the fingerboard. One of my favorite aspects of the Alembic aesthetic is the oval inlays.

Nice bass, though, I bet it sounds great.
