The more I play the Europa, the more I truly appreciate it. For me, it is the ultimate bass (uhh, other than an Europa with Series II electronics!). I play it every day now, and it practically plays itself. Smooth, effortless, like my Spyder. And the tones are just absolutely astounding. I can get Jaco tones, Geddy tones, Precision tones, you name it. Yeah, it cost a wad of cash, but it's worth every penny.
Thank God for Alembic.
