Remember that Alembic production must be about 500 instruments each year (15,000 in over 30 years). There just won't be as many second-hand ones on the market as - say - Fenders. |

http://www.station-music.de/bass/alembic.html Try here they have loads of alembics in stock, not seen any Elans or Europa's but maybe a used one will appear at some time. Jazzyvee |

Yeah! I`ve been there 3 times!! Great store but as you said: no Elan`s or Europa`s! They said that they`re hard to get! Must wait! |

The rogue is almost identical to the europa, just a bit better looking (just kidding) and alot lighter. It has slightly more versatile electronics than the elan too. Graeme |

You might check Edwin van Huik's site - Holland is not too close to Austria, but at least it's on the continent. |
