this a rare and lovely beast! I’d be selling that Euro to grab this and then you could always replace the euro being a production bass down the road.
That bubinga body!!! You can’t get that anymore. Wenge neck too! It’s a good score for sure.
A shot of me in action with my Combustion this past weekend....
I still kick myself for not jumping on this one when it was available
Between that and that Purple Spector I should just send you all my money
It's cool, I don't feel like I'm losing anything. I like my Euro! Nice Dwall though, very nice.
Ive got a Euro 5 and a D Bird. I’d be happy with either and have a hard time picking “only one” between them. I’d probably take the Euro because it’s easier on my hands, but I have some unique playing issues.
I was looking at a droc and a combustion before I got my euro. Droc 4 was priced at 18k sek (2k USD) , combustion 5s at 22k sek (2.5k USD), my euro was 24k sek (2.7k USD) and now that afterburner popped up at 27k sek (3k USD).
So all in all pretty similar price wise.
Also I don't think I would be buying that afterburner I because the woods are bubinga and wenge and I own a Warwick, ovangkol wenge... Stuff is HEAVY.
Just kinda over the super heavy basses, I paid my dues by owning a 6 string thumb.
You sure did. I'm assuming plenty of neck heavy issues too.
I'm impressed at how well the D Bird balances. I had a Thunderbird before, and it is a huge improvement on that body shape. I only play seated, so weight isn't a big concern, but balance still is. In my younger years, I had a Thumb 5 and loved it, but was annoyed at the neck dive.
Then imagine a 6, it's worse. Just the nature of the beast! Drocs are cool, maybe one day

Thanks for reminding me. I’ve been itching for a J bass lately, which had me revisiting the idea of a Thumb. I feel like it would be fun for a bit but ultimately not for me, even though nothing sounds quite like it.
I go back and forth on the D Roc. I got in when they were still Birds. I’m not as big a fan of the Roc shape, but my opinion seems to shift with the finish color. The sounds in them are great; there’s no denying that. I’d definitely appreciate the extra fret access of the Roc.
It’s only 3k US??? Your killing me
Based on a similar post in the Spector thread, I’ve decided I’ll start vacationing in Sweden and bring home used basses.
Right. @Katoosie isnt being very nice showing me all these basses I cannot have!
It was his, but he sold it to the current owner. ~10.5lbs of Bubinga Wenge goodness!
