Alembic Europa 5-String Long-Scale w/Red Side LEDs, Birds Eye Maple Fingerboard, Walnut Core, & Walnut Backplates Alembic

From Alembic:

With its elegant and understated form, the Europa bass is the type of instrument you return to again and again, and each time you’re reminded of why you love this bass so much. From the moment you wear it on strap, comfort and balance greet you. Plugging into the side mounted jack gives a satifying “kerchunk” in response. Once your amp warms up, the tone that piqued your interest in the first place comes flowing back. This bass is home.

Quick tone change switches give instant access to useful on-the-fly sounds. When you’re ready to take that solo, you can simply flick the bass and treble switches to the boost position, knowing full well that when you’re finished, that original sound is just a click away.

This Europa comes with Alembic’s Maple and Walnut neck lamination pattern. The engineered beam supports even response across the Birds Eye maple fingerboard, and assures that snappy Alembic brilliance will be delivered at every note.

Like most Alembic basses, Europas are quite happy in a variety of musical settings. Turn the low-pass filters down to 300Hz for deep tones suitable for blues. Turned up to 6KHz, there’s plenty of zing for slap or driving rock technique with a pick. Versatility puts the tone control in your heart and your hands.

Since each Europa bass is handcrafted right in our one-and-only shop in Santa Rosa, California, you are able to custom order any aspect of the bass. Custom fingerboard dimensions, wood choices, decorative details, or even things not yet invented are possible.
