The bass player’s function, along with the drums, is to be the engine that drives the car… everything else is merely colours.

Now that is some Europa!! Styled like an Elan with the AXY pickups and turn on the headstock.

Having had another look at it, it looks more like an Elan bass than an europa. The Body contour on the front, thickness of the horns, headstock style and narrow string spacing seem more elan style. However the serial no will say for sure.

Correct me if I’m reading the advert wrong but is that price $3650 € or $12,400 US? That’s either a very hefty shipping fee or the owner really wants it to stay in Europe.

it's 3650 euros... so you just need to convert that to dollars

NP = New price :-)

Looks like Elan + electronics (which, if I'm not mistaken was later renamed Europa/Rogue)
