Sounds great, but I think a years free back adjustments should come with it! Has anyone tried that new strap that is more like a harness? I'd also love to get an idea how many six strings there are.

It's beautiful and we need more Elans around here! BTW, I tried a strap several years ago that was harness-like. Personally, I wouldn't bother if I was you. It seemed too inflexible. YMMV. It might have been great for parachutes, though!

If I was gonna go for a 6 string bass, i think the Elan shape or even the Europa would be just right. I think I'd change the headstock to a 4 + 2 arrangement as I love the shape of the elan headstocks on the lesser stringed models. gtrguy Intermediate Member Username: gtrguy Post Number: 198 Registered: 9-2004 Posted on Tuesday, May 05, 2009 - 10:53 pm:    Here's another recent shot from the side.
