stingrayPete1977 Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 They look pretty good to me, not sure about the country and western pick guard on the P but other than that its quite cool! They have a bit of a Sandberg vibe to me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalMan Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 This from the same seller looks good too - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Tuscany-Silverado-Bass-Guitar-Amber-Basswood-Body-Maple-Neck-Active-Psv-Switch-/290696628967?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item43aede8ae7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Jack Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 The P is very reminiscent of the Fender Roscoe Beck ... I wonder what it weighs? Luckily enough, I'm immune to its charms. The 18mm spacing would be enough to persuade me not to, which is helpful, since I wouldn't want to admit to being too pedantic about spelling to own a bass with "Exlusive" on the headstock.

Prime_BASS Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 Thbat youtube guy Davidsinsrocks (or whatever) has used one of those Tuscany basses before, along with Fudera amps. Seem to sound pretty good but to me they look a litttle cheap looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mcgiver69 Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 Here is "DavidsinRocks" playing a Tuscany Jazz http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-sur-H7seMg&feature=related They seem to be a cheap line from Frudua which is a good thing in my book.

paddybass Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 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.
