Exlusive 5 string basses on feebay anyone used/got one??

[fluffo]

[center]They do a p style bass with a MM back pickup and a p split at the front and the other one is a tele style bass with a 3 coil pickup.[/center]
[center]Has anyone tried one of these, I keep looking at them but bottle out everytime[/center]
[center]They are distributed from Kent near Aylesbury but they have no means of me being able to go there to try one, which instantly makes me on my guard about the whole outfit.[/center]
[center]The pickups are Frudua designed which sounds ok.[/center]
[center]The other outlet is in Italy and in all honesty I would rather get it from there as they are made in that country.[/center]
[center]Whats your thoughts people.[/center]
[center]the two links below are for the Tele style and the P style basses[/center]

They look pretty good to me, not sure about the country and western pick guard on the P but other than that its quite cool! They have a bit of a Sandberg vibe to me?

This from the same seller looks good too - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Tuscany-Silverado-Bass-Guitar-Amber-Basswood-Body-Maple-Neck-Active-Psv-Switch-/290696628967?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item43aede8ae7

The P is very reminiscent of the Fender Roscoe Beck ... I wonder what it weighs?

Luckily enough, I'm immune to its charms. The 18mm spacing would be enough to persuade me not to, which is helpful, since I wouldn't want to admit to being too pedantic about spelling to own a bass with "Exlusive" on the headstock.

Thbat youtube guy Davidsinsrocks (or whatever) has used one of those Tuscany basses before, along with Fudera amps. Seem to sound pretty good but to me they look a litttle cheap looking.

They seem to be a cheap line from Frudua which is a good thing in my book.

I've just bought the P bass style Exclusive Fusion 5 String Bass, on a whim, just seemed too good a deal. I'd been looking at them for a few weeks and checked out the Frudua guitars website, still not 100% sure what they're all about. Well, there were 2 on ebay at £499, a sunburst one and a black one, the latter being open to 'make an offer'. Suffice to say I got it for a good discount, enough to think hey whatever, lets go for it. I'm in need of a 5 string for some recording and live stuff so was looking at mid price range basses, £600/£700 mark which doesn't give you much, a Mex Fender or a Sterling MM. I got to say this Bass is mega! for the bucks. Very well made, quality all over and the pick up config and diversity of sounds is excellent. I dont care what you want to see on the Headstock, I'm gonna enjoy playing this baby for many years to come now. I've been a retro/oldie/4 string fender type of guy for the last few years, I've got several Jazz/Precisions, and also had some high end basses, but this has rekindled my interest in 5'ers.

If the sunburst one is still there on ebay i suggest you buy it now!! you wont be disappointed. Maybe even haggle on it, i guess they just want it gone.
