This bass just happened to come up on Craigslist locally. It turns out, the previous owner knows my music instructor.

Love the top.
What's the difference between Europa and Distillate controls/ electronics?

Going by the quote generator, it appears the Europa and the Rouge may share the same electronics

Some good-looking flame koa there, and nice figuring in that mahogany!
 
Distillate has a pickup selector switch, Europa/Rogue has a pickup blend - both have volume, filter, Q-switch, bass and treble cut/neutral/boost switches.

Thanks for answering our questions Adriann.  The photos do it little justice.
 I found the tone I wanted rather quickly with these controls: pickups at full boost with Q-switch engaged. This bass is rahter versital and perfect for  finger-style playing.
