I was fortunate to purchase an Elan last summer. Absolutely love it. Someone take this off the market and ease my mind. Walnut Elan BassNW has four used Alembics for sale. |

They're good people, so I hear. That's where my buddy got his '94 Epic that he adores. |

They are indeed good folk. I got a Hamer 12 and Epifani UL 902c head from them. Very easy to deal with, friendly and good service. |

For those interested there's a similar bass in the Bass Gallery in the UK. I believe it's around £1500UK. |

Very nice looking Elan. Very unusual strap pin placements. |

Hi I rang the shop yesterday and had a chat with them about the bass. It's a commission sale for a customer. |

Probably a previous owner was a left hander. Just a thought. Jazzyvee |

That bass was on craigslist earlier this year, where it was first noticed by a Club member; it later sold on eBay, probably to the person consigning it at Bass NW, and at a much lower price. |
