Is that your old bass for sale back at Edwin's, FC? Or is this one its twin sister... I seem to remember there were a couple of those Elans in that cool Stormburst finish.  8)  This one is 90H 6003.


I haven't seen one of my former Alembics pop up yet... that's gonna' feel strange.

i've had 3 or 5 of my old flames pop up here from time to time. it does feel strange, kinda like seeing one of yer ex's pictures in a bikini while scrolling thru a dating app.  sometimes it's like, "good riddance, now yer hte next guy's problem".  other times it's "sure wondered hwat happened to that bass.  i kinda miss that one :-( "

I own the sister to that bass.  It is identical.
