Title: FS FT: 1980 Series I 8 String [OFF THE MARKET]
Post by: dshade43 on March 25, 2013, 01:34:06 PM

What I'm really looking for is a Europa 5 of Rogue 5.  Ideally with Series I electronics.  Willing to let this 8 string go in my pursuit.  Zebra wood.  $4,500.00

It appears at one point the neck pickup Q control knob came in contact with something and resulted in this crack.  I had a local luthier tell me it wouldn't be difficult to repair, but I left it the way it was.  The Q control toggle switch also was bent, but everything still works fine.  There is a chrome switch below the 1/4 jack that works as a stereo/mono control.

I have the wood chip.  The joint between the body and neck is stable and has never moved since I've owned the instrument (2002).  This bass is a MONSTER!

There certainly is some potential there, I have yet to do my taxes and am expecting some money back.
 
Is there a case with this?
Did the body damage and control cavity damage occur while you owned the bass?
Was the neck/ body joint reglued?

I believe that this is one I lusted over at one point - alas, my financial situation has changed...

It comes with an Anvil flight case.  body/cavity damage was done before I bought the bass in 2002.  The neck/ body joint was never reglued during my ownership.  The bass is still solid.  Email me off line and I'll prepare some additional photos.
