I'll start the ball rolling with my two maple bodied basses.  An Elan 4 with Europa Electronics (Bought from a forum Member in 2007)

  Europa/Elan 5 with Signature Electronics (Bought from Forum member in 2010)

It's very rare when they appear together, they're not reeeaallll fond of each other, but they said they'd 'play nice' for me just this once . . . . I told them they really 'play nice' all the time, but you just can't get through to them . . .

Joey's Emerald green Elan helped inspire this one, so it's good that it follows his two.    Flame maple over mahogany with a honey tint

You guys are making me GAS for a colored Elan.  What's left...yellow, blue, pink, white, gray?

On the Mothership site there are a couple of Europas, one w/cherry burst,and another moonburst.Look on the custom colors page.

Same reason you would have a bass the colour of a Royal Mail post box :-)
