Awesome. I like the Elans better than all of the other non-series/non-Stanley Alembic models. What's the scale length?

I have a similar view to you eligilam. I love the Elan body shape. They also have such a distinctive quality tone to them too.
Gorgeous instruments. The one on the top of this page is even more beautiful than mine. The perfect one for me would have a coco bolo top and signature electronics.

Why in the world did Alembic stop making them?

We didn't stop making them - they are just not in our catalog. You can special order the Elan body shape and complete specification anytime.

Thanks for the comments folks. 34 inch scale length and sits extremely comfortably. I know the electrics were upgraded in later models but I really can't imagine it being much better, the range of tone and clarity as it is is phenominal! This bass knocks me out every time I play it. (As I am sure is the same experience for any Alembic owner) I have found my soul mate!!!
