Greetings from Preston UK. I used to own a Euro 5 once and foolishly sold it because, being a noobie to bass, I couldn't tame the damn thing. Here's a pic of it;

Anyways, I've been playing for three and a bit years now and I've been taking lessons so my technique's improved and I thought I'd have another dabble when I saw a nice Repob 5 FM DLX for sale. It was love at first twang so I thought I'd get a Euro LX5 to keep it company. Then I heard about a company in the UK called Reverb who'd bought out Sound Control - who used to sell Spectors in the UK and they were selling a few Euro 5LXs for one third of the usual price so I bought one and love it love it love it.

Here's a pic of it and one with it's brother...

Hey, it's Homer from basschat! Hey Homer! :hyper::bassist::D
 
So the spalted maple Euro 5 is now in the hands of Basssy. Basssy's Warwick passed through my hands, which in turn was traded to Myusenamehere for his Rebop 5.

It's got a solid quilted maple body, bolt-on neck with crown inlays, EMG 40DC pickups and I'm currently installing the BQC preamp. While I got it apart I'm going to see if I can't buff out some of the scratches. I'll get some "after" pics up when it's all back together but here it is before:
