Expect shipping to Aus to be about $300 because package size restricts the use of USPS.

Hello? nobody out there with an Elan? What about a EUROPA 5-string?

Remember that Alembic production must be about 500 instruments each year (15,000 in over 30 years). There just won't be as many second-hand ones on the market as - say - Fenders.

Try here they have loads of alembics in stock, not seen any Elans or Europa's but maybe a used one will appear at some time.

Yeah! I\ve been there 3 times!! Great store but as you said: no Elan\s or Europa\s! They said that they\re hard to get! Must wait!

The rogue is almost identical to the europa, just a bit better looking  (just kidding) and alot lighter. It has slightly more versatile electronics than the elan too.

You might check Edwin van Huik's site (http://www.connectionbult.com/bass/instruments.html#Basgitaren target=_blank) - Holland is not too close to Austria, but at least it's on the continent.
