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. Jazzyvee |

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. Peter |

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. |
