Europa

That five-string S2:  Just kill me now, Thank God I don't have 7500 bucks.
 
But that Europa Five for $2500 OBO is an utter steal, and really so is the other.  Run a dupe on the Quote Generator if you need to check your blood pressure !

Timing,timing,timing......crap.

Running a bass through the quote generator will have much more damaging effects on everyone once Mica gets the price hikes installed.  That five-string is a beauty.  I do love the old large body basses, and it is a sharp one for sure.  I do have the money, but I gots bigger fish to fry coming up soon!  The revamping of my first love.  I am finally going to break all the rules and forget the cost and just go with what I really want.  Financially, I would be much better off buying the fiver, but when done, spiritually, and just for self-satisfaction, I will be much better off upgrading my favorite old bass.

Wow that surely is a lovely Europa......... hmmmm
 
Have Europa's suddenly become fashionable these days?
A few members seem to be recent buyers of them both new and used.

Guys I live about an hour and half from that Europa and I was going to check it out because I lust for a 5&6 string to go with my 4 the guy never returned my call hmmm..... How were europas ever not fashionable jazzy??? Personally I've been drooling over them for 19 years and im32! The only thing I hate is the price! But I've never played a 5 or a6 and if the B string sounds like my ?lan I'll cry. I've always hated just that string everything else is awesome. So I stick to the 4 string models and I've been very happy.

I have a couple of Europa 5's one thats all maple like an elan and the B string sounds great. No problems at all with the sound or feel of it.

and that europa is a steal.

Thats my Europa now. I have to let the previous owner know that the add is still running.

Congrats. Looks like a nice one!

The guy that owned the Europa is a guitar player and sound engineer. I was told the Europa has not been gigged with in about 10 years and preety much stayed in it's case the entire time. Talk about bad timing when I saw the add. I had to sell a lot of hunting gear on Craigslist (can't  hunt anymore anyways) before I could buy it. I actually sold enough equipment the same day I called the guy and bought the Euopa the next day. I am naming her Destiny!!!

You can hear her on Sound Cloud: Both bass parts:
