If I didn't also own an Alembic Orion 5-string fretless I don't know that i could part with this one. The Europa is beautiful, but not mint/perfect. It has it's share of very minor dings (hard to photograph) not an issue, but does have some nicks on the lower horn that are noticable, and a couple of blemsihes at the top of the neck on the backside. Even so, from a foot away nothing is significant - what is significant is that there is virtually NO Fretwear, the fretboard is perfect, the neck relief and setup is great, and the bass playes So Well - everywhere from top to bottom. No issues with electronics, no cracks, no repairs, i just installed a fresh set of Alembic strings. The sound and feel of this bass is 2nd to none. Overall, one of the finest instruments i've played... I'd rather find it a home thru the Alembic club first, before considering E-Bay. I can supply additional pictures if you like No HSC but can be shipped with a gig bag and lots of careful packaging. thumbsup Intermediate Member Username: thumbsup Post Number: 176 Registered: 7-2008 Posted on Tuesday, January 18, 2011 - 6:11 pm:    photos! photos! crobbins Senior Member Username: crobbins Post Number: 776 Registered: 6-2004 Posted on Tuesday, January 18, 2011 - 6:37 pm:    Pics please.. drzz New Username: drzz Post Number: 3 Registered: 11-2010 Posted on Tuesday, January 18, 2011 - 8:47 pm:    and the back The Headstock drzz New Username: drzz Post Number: 4 Registered: 11-2010 Posted on Tuesday, January 18, 2011 - 8:51 pm:    Aksing price $3,500.00 drzz New Username: drzz Post Number: 5 Registered: 11-2010 Posted on Tuesday, January 18, 2011 - 9:46 pm:    Pre-amp / electronics Lower horn Bass body tmoney61092 Senior Member Username: tmoney61092 Post Number: 639 Registered: 9-2008 Posted on Wednesday, January 19, 2011 - 10:46 am:    what happened to the lower horn? ~Taylor melancholy_mechanic New Username: melancholy_mechanic Post Number: 9 Registered: 12-2010 Posted on Wednesday, January 19, 2011 - 10:52 am:    Dog bite? drzz New Username: drzz Post Number: 6 Registered: 11-2010 Posted on Wednesday, January 19, 2011 - 1:14 pm:    Not under my watch! I have two attack cats that guard and protect my basses, the female "Nika" pictured here is showing her displeasure with my decision to sell this bass. She loves to sit on the speaker cab when I'm playing... The real answer is I don't know who or what caused this damage, a teething child maybe? the bass was in this condition when i bought it - davehouck Moderator Username: davehouck Post Number: 10050 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Wednesday, January 19, 2011 - 6:04 pm:    Appears to be an exceptionally nice fingerboard! drzz New Username: drzz Post Number: 7 Registered: 11-2010 Posted on Wednesday, January 19, 2011 - 7:24 pm:    The fretboard is really nice, the bass plays SO WELL, and sounds fantastic. The B string on this one is extra special...

Could you please send a contact number to ajtbassman@netzero.net Thanks... drzz New Username: drzz Post Number: 9 Registered: 11-2010 Posted on Sunday, January 30, 2011 - 7:32 pm:    Bass is currently on hold awaiting arrival of funds... keurosix Senior Member Username: keurosix Post Number: 428 Registered: 10-2005 Posted on Tuesday, February 08, 2011 - 5:02 pm:    Wow! Your Europa and mine are like brothers! http://alembic.com/club/messages/411/24242.html?1203423703 Let me say, whoever buys this bass, you are in for a treat! The 11 lam neck is so strong and powerful, you really feel it all through your body. Mine is a 34" scale, and the low B string is super clean and supportive - something I thought only a 35" scale would give. Bruce, your bass has a very pretty fingerboard that makes it really stand out. Also, the bite marks on the lower horn can be filled in with some superglue to stop the potential of any cracks forming, and it would look better all smoothed out. Good luck in the sale.
