markytbass Posted August 10, 2007 Posted August 10, 2007 Has anyone got one or tried one yet or know of any shops selling them. I am particularly interested in the Maranello and rimini series. I know you can get them on line but I was hoping to try one first. Any feedback would be great. Cheers Quote

paul, the Posted August 10, 2007 Posted August 10, 2007 These really interest me. I love the tone on the Bedouin Soundclash tracks. I'm pretty sure he plays a semi-acoustic. Anyway, I've just seen one on ebay, not in the UK mind. Quote
john_the_bass Posted August 10, 2007 Posted August 10, 2007 my guitar player has a maranello speedster guitar. it's basic but seems to be ever so well put together, especially for what he paid (£130 sh i thnk). Really nice. Quote

Muppet Posted August 10, 2007 Posted August 10, 2007 I do believe Nicky Wire tends to play Italia basses. I always thought it had to be more for looks than sound. Well with him anyway. Quote
Machines Posted August 11, 2007 Posted August 11, 2007 GAK have just listed their whole range by the looks of it. Quote

Adee Posted August 14, 2007 Posted August 14, 2007 Wonder where Italia 'borrowed' the idea for the Imola bass from? Ampeg Bass Italia Imola Cheeky monkeys ! Quote
markytbass Posted August 14, 2007 Author Posted August 14, 2007 I'm not too keen on the Imola, too much plastic. Quote

Gary.Lowe Posted September 7, 2007 Posted September 7, 2007 Mark Italia have a stand at Bass Day UK this year, so I'm sure there will be plenty to try out there. And you can win one too, check out the news page on the Bass Day UK site www.bassday.co.uk Quote
