M-N-Y Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 (edited) Hi All, I have a brand new Frudua 5 string jazz bass in 3 tone sunburst that I would like to trade for a nice 4 string of some sort. I have realised that I'm not suited to playing 5 string. I would be interested in predominantly jazz type basses, but open to offers. The Frudua is a lovely bass,comes with Frudua gig bag is 34 inch scale and has a distinct look of an Alleva Coppolo bass. the pick ups are Di Marzio ultra jazz with a single coil at the neck and a switchable humbucker at the bridge. The bass cost just short of 880 euros with case and delivery from Italy. As you would expect from a 4 week old bass the condition is mint. Cheers for looking, Mark.

chrismuzz Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 I can't put my finger on it, but something about that body shape makes it so much nicer looking than a Fender! Awesome pickup configuration too by the way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AREA Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 (edited) I have the same Bass and I can tell, these are great Basses. Very good sounding and flexible. Nice Craftmanship too Edited November 19, 2011 by AREA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M-N-Y Posted November 20, 2011 Author Share Posted November 20, 2011 (edited) Great pic Area, thank you. This is exactly like my bass and to be fair I'm not unhappy with how it sounds or plays, or any aspect of it really. Just the fact that it is a 5 string. Haven't really thought about a straight sale to be honest, but if someone wants to buy then I'm prepared to lose the carriage cost and cost of the gig bag which would make the price around £750 ish. Thanks and regards, Mark. Edited November 20, 2011 by M-N-Y Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M-N-Y Posted November 26, 2011 Author Share Posted November 26, 2011 (edited) Hello All, I have put this back up as I would dearly like a nice 4 string. I am not suited to playing a 5 it seems. This really is a fantastic bass and compares favourably to any Lakland Skyline and many of the boutique Japanese jazz basses like Bacchus etc. It would certainly not give much away to a US Fender five string plus it has the added versatility of a switchable humbucking and single coil pickup at the bridge. Both pickups are Di Marzio. Open to trade and sale offers but as the bass is literally new I can't afford to make a huge loss on it, so please be kind. Thank you, Mark.
