I've just bought the P bass style Exclusive Fusion 5 String Bass, on a whim, just seemed too good a deal. I'd been looking at them for a few weeks and checked out the Frudua guitars website, still not 100% sure what they're all about. Well, there were 2 on ebay at £499, a sunburst one and a black one, the latter being open to 'make an offer'. Suffice to say I got it for a good discount, enough to think hey whatever, lets go for it. I'm in need of a 5 string for some recording and live stuff so was looking at mid price range basses, £600/£700 mark which doesn't give you much, a Mex Fender or a Sterling MM. I got to say this Bass is mega! for the bucks. Very well made, quality all over and the pick up config and diversity of sounds is excellent. I dont care what you want to see on the Headstock, I'm gonna enjoy playing this baby for many years to come now. I've been a retro/oldie/4 string fender type of guy for the last few years, I've got several Jazz/Precisions, and also had some high end basses, but this has rekindled my interest in 5'ers.
If the sunburst one is still there on ebay i suggest you buy it now!! you wont be disappointed. Maybe even haggle on it, i guess they just want it gone.
