Beautiful bass. I don't see a pickup selector which is interesting.

Wow, what a killer top!  Yes, no pickup selector, so it must be some custom circuit with a pan instead.  Very interesting.

We have seen this bass here a couple of times in the past.

I don't think you'll be seeing her on Reverb again anytime soon... she's mine now.

Nice !!!   I was following this closely, really wanted it!

Really looking forward to hear your impression!!  Also, do you know if the body is 'series' hollow body??

Congrats!

wow, very nice one! great top. Really like the Europa shape. Congrats!
P.S. the link in the first post of this topic leads to a very expensive EVH bass, not to this Europa 4.

Thanks! I don't think she's chambered beyond the electronics cavities, but I'll try to find out for sure.

Sandman's new bass was originally built for me, and I still own its 5 string twin. To my ears, Sandman's bass is an especially great sounding Series bass, and it's beautiful as well. The body is not chambered, but we were able to keep the weight down by eliminating the back laminate.

Thanks Steve!

When I saw her on Reverb I knew there was something very special about her. And then she started whispering to me. But it wasn't 'til I held her that I realized just how exceptional she was.

I'm very lucky to have found her!
