It's not often you see a Europa on ebay; but unfortunately this one has a major problem. The pickups and electronics have been switched out for another brand. In my opinion, this would be a nice bass if it was sent back to Alembic to have an electronics package installed. It looks like the original holes are still ok for the controls; but the pickup cavities may have been modified. Could be a nice project for someone who wants a 35" wide taper 5 string Alembic with Purpleheart laminates in the neck. |

I noticed that one too. What a shame that someone would take an Alembic and repopulate the electronics that way! Bill |
