What are the flaws on your bass?

Hahahahah Yeah too bad more bassists couldn't own one. :D
I think the number is between 100 - 200. I have seen some serial #s higher than 100. Mine is #99.

I think the overall number is under 200, but I don't think he started making the AP-1 until around #085 or so... Not sure if there is much overlap with the earlier ones, which are much bigger than the AP-1; more along the size and feel of a Jazz bass. Mine are #015 (fretless), #060 (upright), and #096 (AP-1). I think the AP-1 is the best of the bunch, although oddly I seem to spend more time playing #015.

I had a teacher who also had an Elias bass. An AP-2 (your #015) And I have played it. It is similiar to a Jazz bass, I agree. It sounded great, and played great too. It's nice to see the whole family in one photo. :D
