After much thought I've decided to sell my Beautiful 6-string Europa. If I didn't also own an Alembic Orion 5-string fretless I don't know that i could part with this one. The Europa is beautiful, but not mint/perfect. It has it's share of very minor dings (hard to photograph) not an issue, but does have some nicks on the lower horn that are noticable, and a couple of blemsihes at the top of the neck on the backside. Even so, from a foot away nothing is significant - what is significant is that there is virtually NO Fretwear, the fretboard is perfect, the neck relief and setup is great, and the bass playes So Well - everywhere from top to bottom. No issues with electronics, no cracks, no repairs, i just installed a fresh set of Alembic strings. The sound and feel of this bass is 2nd to none. Overall, one of the finest instruments i've played... I'd rather find it a home thru the Alembic club first, before considering E-Bay. I can supply additional pictures if you like No HSC but can be shipped with a gig bag and lots of careful packaging.
