It does have some finish repair around the bottom strap button. Otherwise, it was a really nice example of an Elan. hifiguy Advanced Member Username: hifiguy Post Number: 227 Registered: 10-2006 Posted on Wednesday, August 18, 2010 - 10:19 am:    What a pretty little filly she is! jazzyvee Senior Member Username: jazzyvee Post Number: 2088 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Wednesday, August 18, 2010 - 11:29 am:    Good to know I don't have the only purple Elan. They are wonderful sounding basses. I had never had an all maple bass before and it has taken me a while to find my "starting tone" on it but now Its under my control. Brilliant sounding bass and from experience, if you are looking for one don't let the colour put you off. I did and regretted it until it came up for sale again. http://alembic.com/club/messages/411/35750.html?1279090389 Jazzyvee hieronymous Senior Member Username: hieronymous Post Number: 823 Registered: 1-2005 Posted on Wednesday, August 18, 2010 - 12:44 pm:    There's a purple-burst Elan at the Guitar Center in Concord, California - it's way up on the wall so haven't seen it up close or had a chance to play it. You can search "Alembic" in Guitar Center's used inventory and it's 3rd or 4th down on the list. I guess I'm hoping someone will be interested and ask me to go in and check it out for them! ;) groovelines Senior Member Username: groovelines Post Number: 612 Registered: 4-2003 Posted on Thursday, August 19, 2010 - 1:22 pm:    and fretless too. . . although the sunlight brings out red hues elwoodblue Senior Member Username: elwoodblue Post Number: 1077 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Thursday, August 19, 2010 - 1:40 pm:    Nice to see that fretless again Mike...what a beauty !

So far these three have different electronic set ups. The P-P/Europa set up on yours is sweet.
