General opinion is that they may well be cheapy chinese knock-offs. Has anybody actually seen or played one? Specs look good on paper... Edited April 1, 2016 by solo4652 Quote
wateroftyne Posted April 1, 2016 Posted April 1, 2016 These have been around for years - surely someone must have one...? Quote
biro Posted April 1, 2016 Posted April 1, 2016 If I recall correctly, they were developed (or perhaps simply marketed) in Italy by Galeazzo Frudua, who does have some reputation for his boutique basses. I honestly have no idea how they sound. Quote
Dood Posted April 1, 2016 Posted April 1, 2016 I was sent two of these to review some pickups installed a while ago. Not a bad bass but I recall that we guessed that the price range of the instruments would have been in the £250 price bracket. I'm not sure that the two offerings we had could have matched up with a Yamaha or Ibanez at the advertised price point in the OP. Maybe they've been improved since and have that 'you''l be amazed' quality that is being advertised here. Looks good though - and I'm glad that the headstock design has had some thought put into it, rather than some 'copy' headstocks that just look like the R&D department went to the pub for lunch before coming up with a 'masterpiece'.

Geek99 Posted April 1, 2016 Posted April 1, 2016 seem a bit overpriced to me, not far off used CIJ money but they look ok and if it was nearer £250 as Dood mentions, I might be tempted. Quote
Number6 Posted June 6, 2016 Posted June 6, 2016 Interested how these basses are and what kind of build quality they have? Quote
Number6 Posted June 6, 2016 Posted June 6, 2016 [quote name='Meddle' timestamp='1465226547' post='3066294'] Mine is utter sh*te. [/quote] Sorry to hear that.....could you give some details please? Would you say it's 400 quid down the pan? Quote
mr zed Posted June 6, 2016 Posted June 6, 2016 [quote name='Meddle' timestamp='1465226547' post='3066294'] Mine is utter sh*te. [/quote] But Mr Hall, surely it's not that bad? Quote
cacio Posted June 7, 2016 Posted June 7, 2016 The real Frudua instrument were great,made by Galeazzo himslef. These ones are a chinese line of product that have nothing in common with the original.I really don't know why I had to choose these instead another chinese product Quote
