That's a beautiful Europa.  The Europa/Rouge electronics are excellent for playing live. I have those electronics on 3 of my Alembics and love them!

In case you are unsure of what the knobs and switches do, here is a link to the Rogue/Europa page.

A VERY nice example of a 5-string Europa. I've got a 6er and love it.
