Looks awesome!
This could be the Elan from this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hzxNO9wiRrg (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hzxNO9wiRrg)
and be the bass that made me fell in love with the Elan model :-) (saw it once live in 1994)
JC (the singer  and bassplayer in vid) sold the bass in 1995.
He got it in '93 or '94 from Station Music (Germany) and used it to record Erase   (click here) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erase_(album) target=_blank)

Hey Markus :-)
He traded it against the Gibson Bird, I'm not sure why. (I would have taken them both)  :-)
 
@ Gianluigi: If you ever want to sell or trade, please leave me a message.

ti ho scritto in  Alembic Club volevo chiederti se ci sono delle distanze consigliate per una corretta regolazione del mio Alembic Elan 4 corde .
Per regolazione intendo distanze fea corde e pik up , fra corde e tasto o altro .
 
ciao grazie
Gianluigi
