If anyone out there knows someone who, or is interested in buying a Europa Custom 5 string, please help me out. It has a Buckeye Burl top, series I headstock/ with the Burl on front and back of the stock, 3 PH lamintes, Gold Hardware...Its Execellent. Built in 2004. Will come with HSC, papers,wrenches, strap locks. I have been relocated from New Orleans since Katrina, and my funds have dried up severely. I would appreciate getting a fair price for it and that would help to dry my tears as I hate to sell my baby. I do have faith that I will get back on my feet and when I do, I will order another just like this one. Please call at 504-914-6408(c) if anyone out there can help. I'd like to see 4.7-5.5k or anything better. I listed this bass on eBay with much regret. Please assist me in taking shutting down the listing selling it to a true Alembic Collector. Email me, and I'll send you some pics(musicmanstan@yahoo.com (mailto:musicmanstan@yahoo.com))
Best Regards,
Stan
Stan, where are you living now? Jobs are plentiful in Las Vegas, and the weather is better than most places -though hot in the Summer. You can also obtain cheap temporary housing.
I'm not in a position to promise anything, but it's possible I might be able to help you get situated here if it's something you want to consider.
Be advised that if you reply off-site, I don't check my email often -so if you respond privately, give me a heads up.
I'm a poor f@#k myself, not a connected big-shot or anything, but I've lived here a while, and know the town. It's relatively easy to get started here, compared to most places. If you're down and out, and you can afford a bus ticket here, there is more opportunity here than most places.
I sure hope you don't have to sell your bass, but I understand sometimes desperate measure are necessary. I'd be very cautious dealing with scam-bay. I've had a bad experience with them, and would NEVER consider dealing with them again.
Take care, best wishes, Mark
P.S. Since you're apparently new to the site, I'll advise you that -if you must sell your bass- you'll have a better chance of getting peoples attention if you post in in the Swap Shop and Wish Lists area -which is below the Introductions section here.
This is where people normal post/look to buy/sell instruments... so you'd stand a much better chance of getting prospective buyers to notice your instrument there.
Is that the Signature electronic package on your Europa?
Looks like it. And nice bass. Sorry to hear of your situation.
