WOW! Holy cow...

What a stunner, and SII electronics to boot.

Enjoy, Rusty!

Thanks Adriaan! I am honored to be the owner of this incredible bass! To have it enshrined in the Hallowed Halls of Alembic with the previous Featured Customs is too cool for words!

Well done Rusty and Alembic for creating such an amazing instrument. I hope this stays custom of the months for a few months. It's superb and well deserving of the honour.
So Rusty, it looks like we both have custom of the month Series II Europa 5 string basses.

Thanks everyone! Jazzyvee, I fell in love with your SII Europa even before I knew it was a COTM! Yours is the reason I chose the Europa body for my build & Steve Wood is the reason it is blue!

I really enjoyed watching this one come together. Congratulations again Rusty, and Spectacular Job Alembic.

You kinda' hate picking favorites with this stuff, but I think my favorite feature is the neck laminate recipe, and especially the choice to leave it natural finish on the back.

Beautiful!

There was no doubt that this was going to be COTM.
Another stunner by the artists at Alembic
and Rusty for the vision.
Congratulations
