Golia’s Sound?

[carlopetro]

Can someone please give me their two cents on the sound of these Luciano Golia basses?

To me Amy Shook ( http://www.amyshook.com/live/ ) is getting an incredible sound from that bass and Catalin Rotaru ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NOovWiog-tI ) also sounds amazing even though that youtube clip seems to be recorded with a typical hand held cam.

It seems to me that Golia’s basses just have an incredible recorded sound and cannot do wrong. Am I dreaming here? Please pinch me if I am.

Thanks in advance,

I think the Rotaru clip sounds pretty nice, and in line with the Golias I've played. They seem to be well made basses that sound good and are a pretty decent value, for the most part. None that I've played are "incredible" though. One thing I don't like is that several I've seen have been decorated, and all (I think) have had figured woods; I'd rather see plain basses made from quality woods at lower prices.
