6-string Europa for Sale or Trade

[hammer]

Looking to either sell or swap for an equal value 4 or 5-string fretless Alembic

1993 Europa 6-string
Body: Mahogany with Maple front laminate
Scale: 34
Neck: Maple with 5 Purple Heart Stringers
Weight:  11.4 lbs.
Standard Europa 6-string Neck width at nut & 24th fret is 2.20 & 3.56 inches
My Europa at Nut & 24th fret:  2.43 & 3.43 (A bit customized as its wider than typical at nut and a bit narrower at the 24th fret)
String spacing Averaged Center-to-Center across neck at nut: 7/16 (.4375)
New Hard Shell case from Alembic (I forgot about that) or the old case if want a discount.
Close to excellent condition.  A really nice buy for someone with longer fingers than me.

PM me for photos and price if interested (I'm traveling and don't have a way to reduce size to conform with 500KB requirement).  Price will be a lot lower than currently listed Rogues which are at $3995 and $4500.  Just looking to get back what I paid for it.

Dan Frank has first dibs if he's interested since we've already discussed a potential sale.  If he decides to go the Rogue route instead I'll be looking to move this to purchase a 4- or 5-string Alembic fretless.

I'm guessing it's this one from the Showcase thread http://club.alembic.com/index.php?topic=9124.0

That's the one I have on the block. Looking to gather some cash for the fretless for which I have been searching.  Dan decided to pass on it for weight reasons.  PM me if you are interested and I can send additional photos.

you're weight reasons or the bass?

My lack of longer fingers which if I had them would more effectively allow me to make good use of the B-string. Just have to contort the wrist too much when higher on the neck to fret the B properly (or the E for that matter). The curse of stubby fingers.

I'm sorry was a bit kidding.
