An interesting looking Distillate with Pointy body and Europa Electronics.

Thore are Distillate controls, JV; Europa has a pan instead of a selector. But that body! Is that a Spoiler with a point??? Wild.
Peter
Possibly, though I was influenced by the fact that most of the controls are what is on an Europa apart from that switch. Sure is a good looking bass.

The selector/pan thing is the only difference between Distillate (http://club.alembicguitars.net/index.php?topic=232) & Europa.
It's nice, of course, but I think I'd like it better without the point - works on a Large Standard body, but for me not so much on the Spoiler.

Another US bass offered on eBay UK. Odd... This would be very interesting to me if it were a 32. I wonder if Danno has any spare change? It looks black and metal enough.
I'm currently the high bidder
If it had leds then I would go for it. Best of luck to all the bidders.
fyi: it's on regular usa ebay also. sometimes listings show up on both. jazzyvee may also be looking at a us listing via ebayuk.
