A very kind soul from California reached out after reading my "wanted" thread, offered me this 1991 Europa that has hardly been out of its case in 34 years.  It should be in Colorado sometime next week.

Excellent news. You might want to exercise the pots and switches before taking it out on a gig.

Patience is often rewarded.  8)  That's a nice-looking Europa Kevin... looking forward to your in-hand review. Mica catches these serial number look-ups as she finds time. Yours looks pretty standard. Sometimes there's a surprise or two in the build card. Y'nevah know.  ;)

Might be too early to say, but how are you getting on with the Europa?

Had three gigs over the weekend, the Europa is a beast.  I thought I had the tone pretty clean between the on-board electronics and my amp EQ at our band studio, and at the first venue.  The second venue was quite a bit larger and the acoustics were drastically different, so I was a little overwhelmed and struggled to find the right balance of all factors.  Between myself and our FOH sound guy, we settled into a good space after some minor panic.  I even pulled out the Modulus for a minute, but instantly wanted more and went back to the Europa.  I'm loving the initial honeymoon period, and a lot of our regular fans really noticed a change in the bottom end.  Onward and upward!
