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.

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 & 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.
