I've sent a message to the seller asking the scale length.

looks like it already sold.  probably a maple core.  I'll bet it's a screamin demon with rotosounds on it.
probably the closest yer gonna come to series II sound without breaking the bank imho ymmv and all that rot 🧐
0420 sure came early this morning.  whooOO00Oooo 🤯

Just what you've been waiting for, Dave... classic taper neck and that should be a 34" scale too... hope it worked out. Didn't we see this one before? I seem to remember an(other) ebony-topped Elan 6... but it went very fast.

A 6 string Elan is a great bass but it doesn't really do the Series thing.

Great news David! Saw the listing yesterday and was hoping somebody here would snag it. Play it in good health!
