Steal of a deal if it's in decent condition.  Shouldn't last long if it's legit.

Excellent seller, very concerned about selling to the right person. Thankful for my friend in NC to check bass out for me as seller only wanted to sell local. This bass was on Talkbass back in 09, has been played but is in excellent condition.

VERY nice axe at a great price.  Congrats ! ! !  
 
These things are built to last, so a carefully used one can be quite a buy.  This one sure was, and FLAME walnut + LED's ?  You definitely stole it, good for you.   Is this your first ?

This is #5 just recently bought the Dragon Wing listed here. The Europa has a sleek feel compared to my others.
Price was a good deal, the seller as I said was great to deal with, he priced it fair disclosing that it had been played, would need a fret dressing and eventually may need partial or complete new frets. For me it's a great deal to add to my collection and to use in my bass rotation. Will give it a workout this weekend

Congrtas, John.  Now we'll all be watching for more pictures; I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who wants a better look at that top!

I'll second that Peter.  It sounds like you are building a nice collection.

That's a beauty.  I also love the knobs.  Is the switch by the bridge stock?

All stock except for the knobs. Switch by bridge is for LED's all factory installed.
