Look, A used Elan for only $12,999. :-[ :-\ :'( Not even a "best offer" option.

Yikes!
Yikes Indeed!
Gorgeous bass, of course.
I was looking at the specs and saw this
Controls: Volume, Tone, Blend knob - Active or Passive
Ughhhhh....What?
Right, I noticed that too. It's a Q obviously.
The person that made the listing must not realize what it is and what is is actually worth.
They just call it "Alembic 5 String Bass"
I am surprised though. Wildwood guitars is a reputable guitar shop. Not far from where I live. They usually have high prices for sure, but not that high.
The listing even states that the nut material is plastic.
That would be a bass I would find hard to resist if it were in the UK and a more favourable price. Not that I need another one but..........
I would say that they were pretty high, all right!

Yes, the nut is clearly brass as visible in the photos.
