Hi Hgregs, if you have never had an Europa before, you are in for an amazing treat. I have one also in bocate and they are wonderful easy to use live and very versatile basses.
 
I wish you all the best with your new acquisition.

There's no history of repair on this bass, but you should be aware that the Switchcraft barrel jacks in this model wear out and require replacement usually every 5-10 years. You can call us at 707-523-2611 to order one or two as spares. They plug in, and they are not terribly expensive.
