Tons of Tonal Options This is very close to Europa Specs which would run today with options for OVER $10,000 Retail. Maple Body, Maple Neck w/Purple Heart Stringers/Ebony Board & Oval Inlays! Tailpiece is is nicer than most Elan's. The Europa controls are volume, pan, filter, Q switch, bass boost/cut switch, treble boost/cut switch. The quick tone switches are bass and treble. Each switch provides 6db boost, flat, and 6db cut.   Very well taken care of & plays & sounds great with low action, very fast neck. First $2800.00 gets it bsee Senior Member Username: bsee Post Number: 2622 Registered: 3-2004 Posted on Monday, April 30, 2012 - 7:28 pm:    That's a beauty, and worth every penny. cameronb000 Junior Username: cameronb000 Post Number: 32 Registered: 7-2003 Posted on Monday, April 30, 2012 - 8:07 pm:    Thanks bsee, You ought to hear her!

Go for it Tbrannon, you know you want to. My saving grace is that it is out of the uk so the tax, duty and cost of shipping is a good way to keep impulse buys in check. :-) Jazzyvee tbrannon Senior Member Username: tbrannon Post Number: 1471 Registered: 11-2004 Posted on Wednesday, May 02, 2012 - 7:53 am:    I would love to pull the trigger, Jazzy. Alas, my wife is in nursing school for another 11 months and the cost of that + the fuel for her daily commute makes this an impossibility. Would love to snag it though!! fahrwestbass Junior Username: fahrwestbass Post Number: 20 Registered: 9-2008 Posted on Wednesday, May 02, 2012 - 8:59 am:    beautiful - I love the top! clarkybass Intermediate Member Username: clarkybass Post Number: 114 Registered: 4-2010 Posted on Thursday, May 03, 2012 - 6:19 am:    Its simple jazzyvee, buy this and I buy your black Elan/Europa :-) groovelines Senior Member Username: groovelines Post Number: 717 Registered: 4-2003 Posted on Thursday, May 03, 2012 - 7:21 am:    Sigh . . . what a time to be broke and nothing to bargain with.
