This bass looks like it has Elan electronics.

Looks like a nice piece. Kind of reminscent of Flax's Orion V (nicknamed Phil) that he sold recently on EBAY, albeit with different top lam.

I agree, with that top and those electronics it is a nice bass. The description does mention a number of nicks and some buckle scratches, but apparently nothing to keep it from being a great looking player. Interestingly, only a three day listing.

I think the bass actually has a Canarywood top, as I don't ever remember a Teak top. If I recall, this bass has a Essence electronics with a Q switch.
