I bought this beautiful bass a few weeks ago, It's a heavy instrument! Sounds great, but I think a years free back adjustments should come with it! Has anyone tried that new strap that is more like a harness? I'd also love to get an idea how many six strings there are.  Bye,  gtrguy  S/N 90H6057

Oh man, killer top on your bass. It's beautiful and we need more Elans around here!
 
BTW, I tried a strap several years ago that was harness-like. Personally, I wouldn't bother if I was you. It seemed too inflexible. YMMV. It might have been great for parachutes, though!

Indeed a killer top, awesome!
 
@ Dave, did you take some more pics since 2004? ;-)

That's a magnificent top....!  
If I was gonna go for a 6 string bass, i think the Elan shape or even the Europa  would be just right. I think I'd change the headstock to a 4 + 2 arrangement as I love the shape of the elan headstocks on the lesser stringed models.

Here's another recent shot from the side. Flip is helping me with my other project!

Stunning flames and good luck with your other project! :-)

Oh, what Flames you got!

Thought I would try to post a bigger pic of this beast!
