I recently traded the Elan for a Maple Essence that was at Bass NW ,
 It's an amazing instrument, hard to let it go.
  I wasn't playing it much since I gravitate towards 4-strings,
 
It's a li'l easier letting an Alembic go if another one is coming...the Essence is pretty cool : ).

I took a look at it in person yesterday.  It looks way nicer in person than in the photographs that have a somewhat orangey hue.  
 
elwood- glad you are enjoying the Essence!

Your right , in person it's very cherry,
 
My Jack Casady will be delivered tomorrow,
...first time I've really looked forward to an Epiphone, it's a set neck  instrument ,I'm optimistic for some reason about  it.

The Casady Bass should have lots of nice tone. I've  considered one of those myself. good luck!
