The six string fretless Europa is outstanding! The fingerboard and the top are both really nice! Very cool top on the Rogue! byoung Senior Member Username: byoung Post Number: 1218 Registered: 12-2004 Posted on Wednesday, June 10, 2009 - 8:08 am:    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... bassjigga Advanced Member Username: bassjigga Post Number: 354 Registered: 8-2005 Posted on Wednesday, June 10, 2009 - 11:15 am:    Looks more like a coco bolo fingerboard on that Europa to me. Nice basses in any case... byoung Senior Member Username: byoung Post Number: 1219 Registered: 12-2004 Posted on Wednesday, June 10, 2009 - 3:31 pm:    Yes, I should have said: the fingerboard is almost certainly cocobolo. bkbass Advanced Member Username: bkbass Post Number: 204 Registered: 11-2003 Posted on Wednesday, July 01, 2009 - 10:53 am:    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! hieronymous Senior Member Username: hieronymous Post Number: 618 Registered: 1-2005 Posted on Wednesday, July 01, 2009 - 10:58 am:    Nice Barry! That 7-string was tempting - looking forward to a report! eligilam Intermediate Member Username: eligilam Post Number: 186 Registered: 2-2006 Posted on Wednesday, July 01, 2009 - 11:40 am:    I'm not used to seeing a crown headstock with the Europa body shape. It's ....interesting. jakebass Member Username: jakebass Post Number: 82 Registered: 7-2007 Posted on Friday, July 03, 2009 - 2:13 pm:    Oh Man, I so want that fretless, bad exchange rate, import costs and the need to upgrade my studio prevent it...
