This bass just happened to come up on Craigslist locally. It turns out, the previous owner knows my music instructor.

Thanks guys. I have been looking quite a while for a 5 string Europa.

Love the top.
What's the difference between Europa and Distillate controls/ electronics?

billostech · « **Reply #11 on:** January 06, 2012, 01:34:17 PM »

Going by the quote generator, it appears the Europa and the Rouge may share the same electronics

Some good-looking flame koa there, and nice figuring in that mahogany!

Distillate has a pickup selector switch, Europa/Rogue has a pickup blend - both have volume, filter, Q-switch, bass and treble cut/neutral/boost switches.

Thanks for answering our questions Adriann. The photos do it little justice.
I found the tone I wanted rather quickly with these controls: pickups at full boost with Q-switch engaged. This bass is rahter versital and perfect for finger-style playing.
