Schnozzalee Posted February 24, 2013 Posted February 24, 2013 I don't think Basschat has EVER seen one of these up for sale! I can remember reading about them in Bass Magazine when they were first released. They look fantastic, I reckon this would be an amazing instrument for some Ska as well as Classic Rock. I've just been speaking with the Fret King Masterbuilder this week, £900 for a UK built custom shop instrument is a damn fine price too!! Welcome to the forum!!
cocco Posted February 24, 2013 Posted February 24, 2013 Nearly bought one of these once. Fantastic looking bass and I bet the sound is great too. Good luck with the sale.
BigJim Posted February 24, 2013 Posted February 24, 2013 Speaking as a Fret-King Bass abuser... I use the blue and black label versions of these and they are stupidly amazing!!!!! At this price, whoever gets this will be getting an amazing bass which can cover anything!
Rigsby01 Posted February 26, 2013 Author Posted February 26, 2013 Thanks guys for the positive comments. I only bought it for use as a back up and it is a fantastic instrument. Just need to move it to make way for other incoming gear.
Rigsby01 Posted June 16, 2013 Author Posted June 16, 2013 Another price drop.... I've gotta move this as I've got new gear on the way!
Rigsby01 Posted July 7, 2013 Author Posted July 7, 2013 [quote name='Maxwelleddison' timestamp='1372839532' post='2130445'] Is the Europa still for sale? Cheers [/quote] Yes it is.... PM'd
Rigsby01 Posted September 6, 2013 Author Posted September 6, 2013 Still looking to sell this if there's any interest
