This bass looks like it has Elan electronics. |

Looks like a nice piece. Kind of reminscent of Flax's Orion V (nicknamed "Phil") that he sold recently on EBAY, albeit with different top lam. |

I agree, with that top and those electronics it is a nice bass. The description does mention a number of nicks and some buckle scratches, but apparently nothing to keep it from being a great looking player. Interestingly, only a three day listing. |

I think the bass actually has a Canarywood top, as I don't ever remember a Teak top. If I recall, this bass has a Essence electronics with a Q switch. |
