bluedoughboy Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Saw these online a couple of years ago and have been hankering for one in a natural finish. They look terrific and sound immense in the one video I’ve seen. They’re german, don’t seem to have any following here. https://bassline-bass.de/en/portfolio-view/rebelle-series-2/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maude Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 I like the look of the white one, i actively dislike pearloid scratchplates as well and yet that one seems to be working for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uk_lefty Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 They look pretty good. A hint of Retrovibe about them. The Re:belle series that is... Some of the others don't look up to much at all, sadly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bassassin Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 With a few caveats, these are great-looking basses. Don't like the natural wood versions, the black block inlays don't work, and the scratchplate shape's ruined by that sharp corner under the bridge. The solid-colours with the offset dots look great though, so I'd forgive them the scratchplate faux-pas. Have to say though (and it might just be because the shape's so reminiscent of Retrovibe) they look like they should cost £250, not £1800 & upwards.

Cosmo Valdemar Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Interesting but they all remind me of a famous luthier looking back fondly at their first creation. Still, the blue one's pretty. Those knobs would get right in my way though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strange isn't it how those basses don't look like £2000 pound instruments and yet I have no idea of the build quality. Absolutely no reason they shouldn't be that price if the materials and workmanship warrant it but they do look like a £500 bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreek Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Yuch!! Rick inspired body, Mock Marcus Miller scratchplate and Sire/MM headstock. Not what i would call " a looker" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
