Pretty unique electronics package on that bass....

I was planning on bidding, and letting the Elan slide by. But it's a little scary that the guy has no feedback.

This is a fantastic bass- the Signature setup is awesome and the BTC coco bolo is beautiful.

Did you notice the note at the bottom of the auction?
***This bass is available for sale locally in the San Francisco Bay Area only*** Pick it up in person.

Do you have a SF based friend who could get it for you or would you make a flight out to pick up the bass?

He's asking $4,850.00 on S.F. Bay area Craigs List.

His auction wasn't impressed with my bid.

I've been watching this all week and figuring there's no way I could grab it. Got home from a gig last night, shuffled some numbers and popped in a bid and much to my surprise...
I'll never need the extra set of electronics but I'm loving the look and a Rogue has been on my perv list for some time. I think I did okay.

I just spoke to the seller and it's shipping this morning as I write.

Come to papa.....!

Just wait until you try it!

Congrats! I've been watching this one too. The seller is a 20 min. drive away for me, but I'm pretty committed to playing a 5er. Nice that he's got it off to you right away. I'm guessing the pics don't do it justice. Hope it's all that and more! File us a report when you are able to put it down

Congrats!!! That's a very flexible electronics package!

Thanks all! I'm pretty excited about it. I only said I wouldn't need the extra electronics because I am my own roadie and I'm already maxed out with one amp/cabinet as it is. I'd love to be able to split each pickup into its own amp, but I'm afraid my knees won't go for it! Something to dream about....
The seller was very accomodating indeed - he took it to a UPS store for packing and shipping and called me with the exact amount for approval (man, those guys really bang you pretty good!!Yeow..). Then he sent me an adjusted invoice after it was done - I hadn't even paid him yet!!! That man is a class act for sure.

I will put up pics and a report as soon as I can put it through its paces. Hopefully I can get it by Friday and gig it over the weekend. I am very psyched indeed!!

Will; I don't think it's stereo, so you don't have to worry about carrying around an extra amp. It should be just like your MK, but with the addition of bass and treble boost/cut switches for each pickup. The seller's statement about two preamps probably refers to the two built-in preamps that come in the electronics package, one for each pickup.
