I have one on consignment at bass NW,

The action is very low, requires a light touch ...
(might drop the price a little soon)

Does that Elan come with a fold over hinge at the nut cos it ain't ever gonna fit that case otherwise -).
 
Crisp looking bass that one, I missed out on a 4 stringer on ebay this summer.
 
All the best to you both.

I think the picture is misleading. The bass is held in a stand by the head and is off the ground. Case is flat on the ground.
It's one of them there optical dillusions.

 Here is a Nice 6 (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=001&item=110034856083&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1)
The price is right but look out for the snipers.

strange enough;
when playing the Red Elan 5, it still looks 'real big'... very comfy sorta 'big'.
