I may be wrong, but I believe that's the 'Vector' body shape and that looks to me like a Koa top. Nice looking bass, and seems to have a very reasonable starting bid. If those controls are just volume/filter, this would not be a particularly versatile instrument as far as tone, but that's not to say anything bad about the tones it CAN make. |

Thta's the VECTOR body indeed and not the Elan. And Elan has a "slanted" body-style and reminds more to a Jazz-bass. This IS beautiful and I should say VERY rare! "Alembic going Fender P" is dripping off it. I am sure soundwise it will be VERY different from a P. Paul TBO |

Thanks for the info. I've placed a bid, the only bid at this moment, and we'll see how lucky I get. Ellery (Lowlife) |
