When you find the time :-) I would be glad to know the details of my newly aquired Europa.

I am the third owner. I have been in contact with the first owner. He bought it in 2003/2004 from a firm by the name of Fotophono. He says that he got a good price because they had had the bass for a while.

fc_spoiler has pointed out that this bass was presented in the 2000 catalog. Does that mean that the bass was at the factory close up to 2000 ?

Probably not. Back when I used to hire a professional photographer for printed catalogs, it would take several years to accumulate images. The 2000 catalog would have had images from a few years prior.
