LeftyP Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 (edited) I've just taken delivery of a new bass guitar. It's an Italia Maranello Cavo hollow body model expertly set up by Richard's Guitars in Stratford-upon-Avon. It is short scale and weighs in at a tad over 7lb - which gives my old back some respite. Despite its name it has not been anywhere near Italy (unless its journey from South Korea took a detour). The Cavo is beautifully put together and Richard's have done a fine job of setting the action and adjusting what needed adjusting. It is strung with round wounds but I much prefer flat wounds so I think I'll swap them once I've had a good play with it. There is certainly a retro look about the bass - in a 1950s Wurlitzer jukebox sort of way - and, although I am not a fan of chrome, the guitar carries it off well. You don't see many of these around and Richard's Guitars were the only people who had one in stock when I checked the t'internet. Santa has arrived early!

Teebs Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Now that is stunning! Erm... LeftyP, I may be jumping to conclusions, but it don't appear to be a lefty? Still, Santa has been very kind, you lucky, lucky thing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
