What I'm really looking for is a Europa 5 of Rogue 5. Ideally with Series I electronics. Willing to let this 8 string go in my pursuit. Zebra wood. $4,500.00

It appears at one point the neck pickup Q control knob came in contact with something and resulted in this crack. I had a local luthier tell me it wouldn't be difficult to repair, but I left it the way it was. The Q control toggle switch also was bent, but everything still works fine. There is a chrome switch below the 1/4 jack that works as a stereo/mono control.

I have the wood chip. The joint between the body and neck is stable and has never moved since I've owned the instrument (2002). This bass is a MONSTER!

There certainly is some potential there, I have yet to do my taxes and am expecting some money back.

Is there a case with this?
Did the body damage and control cavity damage occur while you owned the bass?
Was the neck/ body joint reglued?

I believe that this is one I lusted over at one point - alas, my financial situation has changed...

It comes with an Anvil flight case. body/cavity damage was done before I bought the bass in 2002. The neck/ body joint was never reglued during my ownership. The bass is still solid. Email me off line and I'll prepare some additional photos.

This bass is now off the market. Thanks to all who have shown an interest.
