Looking for more information on this bass, a gorgeous lefty:
 
 
 
 
Appears to have been a custom bass, maybe an Elan variation?
 
Thanks

Pics didn't upload - probably too large. Trying again:

Hello Robert,  
Welcome to the forum. Your pics show a beautiful 1993 custom that appears to be based on an Essence with a lovely maple quilt top and Europa electronics package (volume, pan, lo-pass filter, q switch, and bass and treble cut/normal/boost switches. I bet she sounds enormous!  
 
Usually it takes a while for history record look-ups, owing to the small size of our favorite family-run instrument business, and most of the records are still on 3x5 index cards. Other forum members will likely chime in as well. Meanwhile, take advantage of the info to be found in the FAQ section of the forum.
 
Welcome once again,
Mike

Looks to be a pretty unique custom body shape with a maple core and possibly a thin purpleheart body veneer.  The upper horn looks kind of close to an Essence or a Rogue, but the lower horn has an angle to it that I'm not sure I've ever seen on an Alembic.  
 
Cool bass!

This one was a little tricky to track all the details down, but here's what I found out:
 
top: Quilted Maple
accent: Purpleheart pinstripe
body: Maple
neck: 3-piece Maple with Walnut pinstripes, Lefty
scale: 34 long
fingerboard: Ebony
pickups: MXY4
controls: Elan Plus volume, pan, filter, Q-switch, bass cut/flat/boost, treble cut/flat/boost, mono output
originally made for: Ace Music, Miami, FL
birthday: September 24, 1993
 
I confirmed there was a custom body shape made for this bass. There's a note that says:
 
Wants Elan + or Europa elect. What fits best? Bigger body half??
 
Tracked it down and the lower body half is slightly modified for the Elan Plus electronics.  
 
The bass was originally registered in Florida.
