Title: Elan 5-string

Got a couple bruises, but overall a pretty nice maple Elan 5. Not a ridiculous price either. I bet she's heavy.

Sweet, nothing that a refurb wouldn't fix. All maple basses are heavy but sound exquisite. No doubt this one does too, if the electronics are all original.

And this layout, you want the Jazz pickup spaced away from the bridge like this one instead of backed right up to it.
