It has Europa style electronics and THG bocate knobs. Plays great!! It seems to have a pretty crazy grain compared to other Bocate basses I see here. I love the way the grain looks like waves coming out of the pickups! davehouck Moderator Username: davehouck Post Number: 5157 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Saturday, June 23, 2007 - 7:11 pm:    Very nice! palmann Member Username: palmann Post Number: 64 Registered: 6-2005 Posted on Friday, August 03, 2007 - 4:04 am:    Yes, like symbolizing the magnetic fields, very cool. :-) Gruesse, Pablo the_8_string_king Senior Member Username: the_8_string_king Post Number: 660 Registered: 9-2005 Posted on Wednesday, August 08, 2007 - 9:05 am:    VERY nice, gorgeous Essence! Awesome figuring, the knobs look great, and the Europa electronics make it an extremely versatile instrument! squirefan01 Junior Username: squirefan01 Post Number: 16 Registered: 6-2007 Posted on Wednesday, August 22, 2007 - 11:10 am:    Thanks! It plays great. I really love it. It has Rotosound Nickel Rounds on it now. I am thinking about putting TI Flats or D'Addario Chromes on it instead. The rounds are pretty well worn though and do have a nice sound. I am still getting a feel for the controls. I think it's a great control setup though and I'm glad to have it set up this way.
