Thanks, i do love it! This bass started when i spotted the Masur Birch wood in the wood bank under the title out of left field. Thus, this is what it became.. John

Wow- continuous wood pickup covers?  Fretless?  
 
Some more pictures, would be great!

Very much a dog man myself, but in 1978-79 I shared quarters with the guitarist I was doing sound for & his cat.  He'd blow town for a few weeks & she'd go absolutely neurotic, chasing stuff that wasn't there & such.  His first morning home, he'd invariably find a mouse head (usually with spine) on the other pillow.  And any time a woman spent the night (with one exception; told him he should marry her because of it) the cat would piss in his bed.
And we need better pix of that bass, John!

Wow that is amazing. Is that the natural colour or does it have a slight tint?
You have two superb Europa Series basses. :-)

That is just a clear coat finish over a very unique wood.

I believe the original owner would have to specify that as part of the build. As other threads have noted, the standard depths of all basses other than Series present difficulties for fitting everything inside the body cavity.
