The purpleheart under the maple looks fantastic.
I bet it adds a little thunder too

Oooh. If  money was no object i would probably have the largest collection of elan basses on the planet.  
Gorgeous.  
To save and danger to my finances can the moderators make it illegal for anyone to post a series elan bass on here for sale. :-)

It looks to me like it is part Elan and part Europa in the bass. The horns look Elan as does the neck & electronics, the body core looks mahogany which is a europa item and so is the style of the forearm cutaway and truss rod cover.
Superb bass whatever it is. i guess the serial number would tell a lot.

It's relisted, apparently seller accidently deleted listing. He's also dropped it to $2000 or b.o.
