Both the Flame Maple and the Mahogany on the Epic are quite nice. The six string fretless Europa is outstanding! The fingerboard and the top are both really nice! Very cool top on the Rogue! |

I've been agonizing over the Europa. It is in really great shape, and the coated fingerboard sounds really nice. If it were cheaper... Or they'd take my Halfling bass in trade... |

Looks more like a coco bolo fingerboard on that Europa to me. Nice basses in any case... |

Yes, I should have said: the fingerboard is almost certainly cocobolo. |

I just bought the Conklin seven string fretless on the BASSNW site. It arrives today. Take a look at the fingerboard. In a blind taste test I would have sworn it was Coco Bolo, It's Ebony! |

Nice Barry! That 7-string was tempting - looking forward to a report! |

I'm not used to seeing a crown headstock with the Europa body shape. It's ....interesting. |

Oh Man, I so want that fretless, bad exchange rate, import costs and the need to upgrade my studio prevent it... |
