I guess after two weeks of owning the bass he did not like it? Hmmmmm....cause for concern?

I think it's probably legitimate.

Legitimate cause for concern -- or the sale is legit and nothing is wrong with the bass?

I think the sale is probably legit, and I think there is probably nothing wrong with the bass.  If you are interested in the bass, you could probably email the original seller and get a first hand opinion.
 
I don't know how much the color affects the value.  Otherwise I think it's a nice bass at the buy-it-now price.  I can't remember, if I ever knew, whether Elan electronics have one preamp or two; this could be a consideration with the P/J pickups.

Apparently it just sold for $1200.

3 owners in less than 3 weeks. Poor little bass....
 
I kind of liked it.
