Post by: hailstorm on July 05, 2009, 11:48:54 AM: Thank you! Yes, although she needs a little TLC, I'm already thrilled! I just got the pickup screws (7 out of 8 were missing), truss wrench and brass polish I ordered from Alembic, so I'll be giving her the 'full treatment' this afternoon (total overhaul, setup and strobination). Already one of the most amazing instruments I've ever played, I can't wait to unleash it at it's full potential. Thanks in no small part to the plethora of info on this board, by this time tomorrow I should be well on my way to global domination!

Welcome to the forum and congrats on your recent acquisition. The lookups may take a little time as most of the records are hand written. When your request is located Mica will post the info back to the thread.
Play it Healthy!

Here's what I found in the instrument file:

HLB5 Elan 5-string bass

top: Quilted Maple
accent: Walnut pinstripe
body: Maple
neck: 7-piece Maple and Purpleheart
scale: 34 long
fingerboard: Ebony
taper: custom 2.06 x 2.93
inlays: Pearloid ovals

peghead shape: Elan Inline

There's a note by the finish from my mom. *The Grapeburst should not be too light in the center. See Susan for final color approval.
