This is a site I check fairly regularly for alembics and i've just noticed this sweet looking used Series I Europa.

oh my... if I won the lottery, that would be the bass I bought
If I hadn't made a recent purchase I would be contacting the shop to haggle a deal.

Magnificent instrument in one of my favorite body styles. Drool. Whimper. Good thing I am broke or I would be tempted to do something stupid.
Looks like a subtle honeyburst finish over the Burl Maple. I do recall that we've done this before.
Sans any custom options, this is just what I'd order in an Alembic, right down to the finish.
I went to this shop last fall. Definitely a good place to stay for bass players ;-))
It still works out at ?6330 ! If we hadn't booked our holiday to the states I might have been tempted.
