Frusty Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 Can anyone vouch for the quality of these instruments? [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NEW-Tuscany-Swing-Bass-Guitar-in-3-Tone-Burst_W0QQitemZ290337802281QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV?hash=item43997b4829&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NEW-Tuscany-Swing-Ba...id=p3286.c0.m14[/url] It certainly looks nice, who know whether it's actually any good though!

bythesea Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 Unfortunately not, though interesting to see that in his other items he has four Lace Helix basses. Wonder if he has a shop? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JanSpeeltBas Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 This is an asian import line linked with the great Italian custom guitar/bassmaker Frudua. Haven't tried one - likely not very different from other imports? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Low End Bee Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 I really like the fake Rick in white. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul h Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 I like the look of the Fusion and the Silverado. Could the Silverado be an alternative to an Aerodyne? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phagor Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 Just seen some more models on Ebay. Seem to be from the same factory, and handled by the same Italian company, but listed on another website: [url="http://exlusiveguitars.com/"]exlusiveguitars.com[/url] Some interesting pickup options, PMM on the Fusion and a sort of triple-bucker MM on the SuperB.

7string Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 It states [url="http://www.tuscanyguitars.com/company.html"]here[/url] that: [b][i]All instruments are made in Asia under rigorous quality supervision, imported in Italy, set-up by Lorenzo Brogi and then distributed worldwide.[/i][/b] Could be good, could be bad.

RussFM Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Definitely a few nice models, if a bit pricey Not sure on their Jag though, just doesn't look right! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike257 Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Looks an awful lot like those Stagg Jag copies, I'm sure they've got the big-polepiece pickups on em too. Hmmm.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreeneKing Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 [quote]Definitely a few nice models, if a bit pricey[/quote] If the quality is commensurate that could be a good thing. Interesting range in the eBay shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 (edited) [quote name='mike257' post='625922' date='Oct 14 2009, 12:48 PM']Looks an awful lot like those Stagg Jag copies, I'm sure they've got the big-polepiece pickups on em too. Hmmm....[/quote] They have - they are very, very similar. Realistically the main difference is likely to be quality control. Oh, and about three hundred quid: [url="http://www.guitarampkeyboard.com/en/stagg-bm-370-vintage-m-series/68744"]Stagguar[/url] The Silverado reminds me of this a little: [attachment=34467:stbgtfull.jpg] Just checked out the price list - I have to say that I think £689 for a probably Chinese-made bolt-neck bass which has a cosmetic resemblance to a Rickenbacker is pretty much redefining the phrase "outrageous rip-off".
