Hi, just bought from a swiss man this 1999 very very nice and nice sounding 5 strings bass.
The owner of this bass was particularly attentive (obsessionnal!) and this bass is brand new now !!

PierreYves, that is such a beautiful bass, the maple top wood is very similar to my own series I bass. Your growing collection is absolutely superb. Contratulations again on your exquisite taste.

Wow!!  How do you FIND these things??  Beautiful!

Magnificent!
 
You'll love the Europa body shape - it's very comfortable.
 
Is the hardware chrome or nickel finish?

Beautiful bass!!! I especially like the light fixture in the brass back plate :>) Now that is shiny, just like a mirror.

That is a beautiful bass.  I love that hint of quilt amongst the burl on the upper horn.  Love the color as well.  Very, very nice!!

This very instrument was a tremendous inspiration to me while designing my Coco Bolo Fantasy bass back in 2000....

at all: thanks :-)  
the hardware is chrome and I found this bass to a swiss people who tried to sold this bass form 2-3 years ;-)

At this point, Pierre has to have the best Alembic collection in Europe.
 
[Edit:  Or at least a tie with Jazzy and Flip.]

I would clearly put PierreYves ahead of the pack. I have lost count of the number of beautiful series basses he has at his disposal now.
