Elias Bass guitar.

I just finished my 5-string copy of Elias #073. I need the B-string notes for Gospel Choir gigs, so my 4-string now has a little brother, 41 years younger. Cherry, pau ferro, flamed maple, with an Indian Rosewood fingerboard and EMG Jazz bass pickups. Hipshot Hardware and a Tru-oil finish. It’s just over 9lbs and sounds very similar to my Elias 4-string. (This is not a commercial post, as I am not making basses anymore).
