HeavyJay Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 I quite fancy one of these: [url="http://www.guitar.co.uk/guitars/bass/1745-italia_rimini_standard_bass_guitar"]http://www.guitar.co.uk/guitars/bass/1745-...ard_bass_guitar[/url] Does anyone have an opinion as to whether they are any good?

They're quite nice. The neck that felt very much like a Precision to me. They're adequate tone wise. The sound is very much a passive old school sound, and not very versatile, but I guess you would expect that! And they look even cooler in the flesh!

Marky L Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Some of the gear in the Italia range looks soooooooo cool. If I had some wadge spare, didn't have a list of other stuff to get first, I'd love something from their range, just for fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike257 Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 I've always thought they looked pretty nifty, never had the chance to try one out. [url="http://www.guitar.co.uk/guitars/bass/1747-italia_modulo_tipo_1_bass_guitar"]This[/url] one looks pretty cool, nice take on the Fender style. One pickup for each string is a pretty crazy look too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
