Author Topic: Swap my Europa? (Read 414 times)

After 3 tries I've finally come to the conclusion that a neck-through bass is clearly not for me (Spoiler, M.K., now a Europa). My brain is not subtle enough to appreciate the smoothness and clarity of the Europa-5 that I recently acquired from another club member. I much prefer my 2-pickup Excel-5. It seems to me that the set-neck (or bolt-on neck) gives me the growly sound & punch that I enjoy.

So what I thought was that there might be another club member who was interested in a swap; my Europa-5 for your Excel-5. But I'm open to suggestions if you've got something other than an Excel-5.

Email me at ellerysoifer@gmail.com and we can swap photos.

I wanted to before I left my office (where the Europa is) but I forgot. I'll take car of it tomorrow for sure.

I must apologise. I know I can't buy your bass and I have nothing to trade you. It's just that I'm lusting HARD-FREEKING CORE for a maple topped 5 string Rogue or Europa. bring on the bass porn!!

Here are the pics, as promised. The last pic was to show that the handle of the original case has been taped together as it's been split. The pic before that is trying to show a nick in the finish at the tip of the head stock. 92U 7420 is her serial number and I,'ve never requested a build history. I like the phrase, "Bass porn". Thank you 2400wattman.

Almost black. Though you all know my passion for the opaque.

The deal is done, and we have 2 winners, Dannobasso and me.

Thanks danno for a smooth transaction.

Excel on its way this afternoon, in your hands Monday noon.

Europa is also on its way, scheduled for pick-up at 7PM, with the expectation that it will be in your hands on Monday also.

Hey 2400wattman, was the bass porn good for you?

The karmic wheel of fate turns of its own accord. I can't hide from the will of the universe. You guys know where I live.
