I thought the Europa has a longer upper horn. This shape looks to me like an Orion with a neck-through altering the basic shape. Either way, it's beautiful. I remember someone had a FTC thread with a neck-through Epic a few years ago.

Friends:

(Sorry, only 2 stands in the house today) She looks/feels stunning :-) Build sheet says OLB4F Orion, nothing mentioned about custom features... Sorry... must play now :-)

I played that bass in the shop, very very nice.
I hope (I know) you'll be happy with her, she sings so sweetly :-)

Alembic always exceeds on their Tops... Nice Spalted Maple!

It reminds me a slight Rogue influence, but is a Europa indeed.

The top is really spectacular indeed, last rehearsal session it took about half an hour before my bandmates asked politely but also compulsory if I was ready and could start the song :-)

There are two new basses on the site of Bass World UK now with what appears the same bodyshape, perhaps a sort of new model from Alembic?

Superb Fretless!

I'm almost sure that bass was in the bassworld shop last year when I visited. I didn't play it as I have no clue at all with fretless basses.

It sure stood out though. Spalted maple is a great choice of wood. A lovely looking bass you have there.

She's from Bassworld UK indeed ;-)

Here's the picture you took:

FC-

How do you like those Pyramid Gold strings (assuming that's what you have on there). I've never played them and the price has always scared me away from trying a set.

Those are Optima strings, not much more expensive than the R.Cocco I normally use.
They look and sound great.

Perfect match to that gorgeous top... Does they really last longer?
