New Pics! Red Sparkle Italia Torino Semi-Hollow in Austin

Sign in to disble this ad
$450 shipped & insured to Continental U.S. -- $400 if picked up in Austin.









++++++++++++++++
Absolutely beautiful and near-mint Italia Torino semihollowbody bass in Ultra Red Sparkle finish with gold and silver flake in topcoat, tons of cream binding, dual humbucking pickups, chrome trapeze bridge, and mother-of-pearl block fretboard inlays. Stunning, and it plays and sounds great too.

Better than pictures,
here's a link to a little video of the bass made by my pawpaw, Hog Branch, so you can see and hear the bass in action. Recorded straight into a little Flip camera (which is why it sounds a bit distorted) and played through an Acoustic B200 combo set flat:

++++++++++++++++++++++++
from the web: http://www.italiaguitars.com/bassDet...hisGuitarId=24
Featuring a spruce top, maple sides, back and set maple neck, the Torino electric bass guitar is built for tone. Two Wilkinson humbuckers with separate volume and tone controls provide plenty of options for both lead and rhythm. An Italia trapeze tailpiece and tune-o-matic bridge keep your intonation solid.

Italia Torino Bass Features:

* Body: Spruce top, maple sides and back
* Neck: Maple set-in
* Fingerboard: Rosewood, 22 frets
* Scale: 30"
* Pickups: Neck - Wilkinson 'ABR' humbucker, Bridge — Wilkinson bass humbucker
* Bridge: Tune-o-matic style bass bridge
* tailpiece: Italia Trapeze
* Controls: 2 volume, 2 tone

I'll consider trades, although there's not much I'm looking for. Prefer cash, tho you can try to tempt me. Thanks. Rick

Jazz-ish. Mini-C shape more than a flat modern neck. I'll try to take a pic tonight.

Still available. Trade fell through. $450 shipped to Continental U.S. ground. If you want it shipped faster, you can pay difference. Thanks!
