My beloved red Europa. I bought it directly at the Frankfurt Music Fair in 1991.

Many thanks for your replies.
 
Yes, this bass IS heavy, but after a couple of years I got used to it :-)
 
If you like to hear this bass in action visit me at MySpace: http://www.myspace.com/frankbackes (http://www.myspace.com/frankbackes)

Frank

Killer groove- I've had it playing for the past hour or so as I sit here and do some work- very nice.

I'm pleased to hear that, Toby!
 
It's amazing to make someone on the other side of the planet nod his head :-)
 
That's what music is all about.

Funny you should say that Frank- I'm sitting here working this morning and my 3 year old daughter just walked up and asked me to play the 'Booty Shake song!  
 
She's a fan too =)

How sweeeet!
 
I send her a big hug and some kisses too! :-))))
 
I will dedicate the song to your daughter and rename it to 'Booty Shake'.
