This bass just happened to come up on Craigslist locally. It turns out, the previous owner knows my music instructor.

Looks beautiful Bill, congratulations. Play it Healthy! Art

Thanks guys. I have been looking quite a while for a 5 string Europa.

Love the top.
What's the difference between Europa and Distillate controls/ electronics?

Going by the quote generator, it appears the Europa and the Rouge may share the same electronics

Some good-looking flame koa there, and nice figuring in that mahogany!
 
Distillate has a pickup selector switch, Europa/Rogue has a pickup blend - both have volume, filter, Q-switch, bass and treble cut/neutral/boost switches.

Thanks for answering our questions Adriann.  The photos do it little justice.
 I found the tone I wanted rather quickly with these controls: pickups at full boost with Q-switch engaged. This bass is rahter versital and perfect for  finger-style playing.
