Hi Mica,
 
I was wondering what specs, birthdate, etc you can find on this 6-string Elan.  I'm especially interested in the Electronics the Elan had.  
 
I owned it for a short while before donating it to the Augustana Corporation for their religious outreach fundraiser?  They've listed it at Willies American Guitars in St Paul, MN @ $3500.00  I know you don't track pricing history  but if you could tell me if they are high, low, whatever it would help. [If you want to see it it's on their website.
 
Give Erik a hug for me - he's a cutie (like his Mom!)
 
Best,
 
Roger

Hello again Mica,
 
This bass sold @ Willies for $2500.00 last week so I don't need spec details.  I've passed the Alembic info to them so perhaps you'll be hearing from the new owner soon.
 
Peace,  
Roger
