Title: Elan plus (Europa electronics) 4 string fretless for sale
Post by: rlhbass on July 27, 2004, 06:05:28 AM

I have a 1994 Elan plus for sale. This bass is still like brand new. I am only selling it because I never play it. It is figured walnut. This bass is the most beautiful bass I have ever seen, but just sits in the case. Has never been on the road. Used about 10 times. Asking $2000.00 as it is worth every penny. Listed for $4000.00 when I bought it.

Oh my-o-my ...what a BEautiful bass. I love the inplant (oh ..uhuh is THAT english????) of those J-style pick-ups. The bass must sound very growly. Mmmmmmm ...I like that.
 
OK ...ee ...mee ...my ...mo ...let's take THAT bank to rob tonight!

It does growl. It sounds great. I went with the Alembic recommendation on the double J style and I am glad I did. If you are interested shoot me an email at rlhbass@yahoo.com (mailto:rlhbass@yahoo.com).

Thanks Bob,  
 
      I didnt want to speak too soon, but it arrived earlier today, and man~ what a bass!!!!! To confirm Paul's hunch Boy, Does It GROWL!!!!!!.... I usually take flats on my fretless, but I'm gonna leave the roundwounds on for now.  
      I couldnt have asked for a better fretless to add to my arsenal~ before this came up for sale, I was considering building a similar bass w/ a Moses graphite neck, Warmoth body and Alembic guts, but this took the cake.... The Europa electronics make me wonder if I'll be content w/ the Essesnce+Q that are on my custom order!  
     
 Many thanks to Ray~ he did an excellent job with the transaction & the shipping. Rest assured, your bass has found a good home!
