AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Would you sell this Europa outright???  Or, I do have a 2004 Stanley Clarke Deluxe Signiture for trade (see older post in bass for sale)...
 
Oh my god... please tell me that you will consider selling this bass... I am looking for a Europa right now.
 
OK, thanks.

Man, maybe there is a god...  Right when I was going to order one of these, boom, a near mint used one comes up for much less $$$.  I am stoked...  I will let you know how she works out.

This bass just has a no mean business appearance to it's starkness. It almost looks ruthless, if you could say that about a musical instrument. Nice catch, Andy.

Firesign Theatre for sure.  Don't crush that dwarf, hand me the pliers?
 
At Drucker & 4th he turns left, at 4th and Drucker he turns right, he crosses MacArthur Park and walks into the side of a sandstone building [Oh, my nose!]
 
It's got to be 25 years since I heard that.

Oh my freaking GAWD!!!  This thing rocks!  This is the meanest bass I have ever owned...  wayyyyyy more high end than I could ever imagine, which is what I need.  You can get some some growl out of this thing that is straight from hell!  It must just be the Europa electronics and the mahogany core/maple top... perfect!  Definite keeper... and in 9.9 condition, and it's a 1991...  Maybe there is a god... after 1.5 years of looking for a used Europa, here I am.  The Alembic I have always wanted.  This IS the body style for me.  I will post new pix after I set it up and tweak it to my liking.  I love this bass...
 
Now I wanna order a new one... I am hooked.
