Congratulations Jazzy. I thought long and hard about bidding on this. You and I have shared an interest in short scale Series basses for a while now and frankly, I'm glad you have one.

Dibs on the next one ;-)...

Its all yours jon my pennies are going on other things now. Actually its funny how things work out. I'd just pushed the button on paypal to send the money for the bass, sat down to read my post and scarily opened a letter from the inland HMRC , IRS to you i guess, and lo and behold a tax rebate that is only about ?10 less than the cost of the bass. Thats a good omen.

Estimate delivery time, Jazzy? I'm curious how long it takes to ship, and hope the bass case isn't an indicator of the last time it was shipped.

Congratulations, Jazzy. I know you've been looking for a few years for a short scale series bass. It appears your patience has paid off. Outstanding bass!

If your purple Elan had the standard mxy/axy pickups, I'd be sending you an email about it!

Rockerdebassman, I hope so too. I'm assured the bass is packed well and I also asked the seller totake the psu and cables etc and send them in aseparate box to the bass in case the trip is hard going. Just trying to remove any possiblilty of a bumpy ride causing them to bang into the bass en-route.

As for the Purple elan, well it has double P-style pickups.

Sweet looking bass you picked up on eBay. I know you'll enjoy it. Until then, I thought the following advice from Mr. Petty might be appreciated.

Bill, tgo

So, when do you expect delivery, Jazzy>>?

jazzyvee · « **Reply #40 on:** October 19, 2015, 04:50:27 AM »

No idea yet but checking the tracking site, its last logged checkin was Brisbane but the site didnt show what time that happened. Ive already got the email from courier for payment of duty!!! Tax man is always waiting it seems.

It's arrived on British soil so it could be in my hands early. Who know's.

arrived on British soil.

Isn't Australia still part of Great Britain?

I'm sure you are anxious and excited. Now, no electronic conversion issues? If the bass were going to the US, would it require rewiring?
