Well Nicky Wire from the Manics uses these so I guess that would be a yes!

They do look great for the money....

Do you mean the Mondial (guitar),or Maranello (bass)?
I have a gold sparkle Maranello that I am willing to part with.

Chris Rea regularly uses an Italia guitar - not because he was given one - he played one in a shop, loved it and bought and recorded/toured with it . Also, Trev Wilkinson was involved with them - despite his involvement with the Vintage firewood brand (must make some very good money from that deal) he certainly knows a thing or two about guitars/basses.

Played a couple of the Italia models. Not bad at all for the money. Have a look around the dealers. They usually go for pennies because it's not a well known brand compared to the main competition.

The Mondials have been around for about 10 years now, with the range expanded about 5 years ago. Machines reviewed one [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=11789"]here.[/url]

Always fancied one myself, if only for the looks.
