Hello, this is Michael Spitzer. We have decided to make some business changes for 2010. The Italian guitars and amplifiers we have previously been importing and selling in the USA will soon be sold here in North America thru another distributor and dealer. This includes all makes and models...

I just noticed that some of the products people above say they are looking forward to are actually already in-stock at the online store (example - Tuscany Swing White)

The intended plan is almost every model except the BIRD will be imported.

Looking ahead to 2010, what models do most of you have a SERIOUS interest in so to be sure I have sufficient quantity on order for 2010 ? Thanks Mike Spitzer

thanks for the bass advise guys, I think I found a compromise for the bass sounds i want/need for my own side projects ...... I told you I like the finger style tone better, but must use a pick. I just discovered WEDGIE 3.1 mm Hard Rubber Picks. Pretty amazing .... They ALMOST sound exactly...

Not that guitar stuff is of that much interest to bass players, but we are starting to add demo videos for other products now too

I have forwarded requests and suggestions regarding both Fretless and LH-instruments to Italy. They told me they are looking into it.

If everything works our right, we will have almost all models and colors shipping in January. Thanks Mike S

TUSCANY is the "relics" product line. You will see these are patterned after many classic models with some modern upgrades. A step above MIM Fenders, Epiphones, Agiles, etc..... Specific to Bass Players, currently all the Tuscany Basses are 4 string models. EXLUSIVE is a more unique range...

Getting early information from Italy regarding the FRUDUA line. Frudua models will be a bit higher than Tuscany / Exlusive. Also the Bass Amps will be upscale.... think along the lines of some of the more rare and elite bass amp designs. In Europe where they are just now debuting, people are...

Yes, sadly I may have to try this "pick emulation" idea to get his Bass Sound.. and all bass playing in general from now on whenever I play bass (remember I'm really a guitar guy playing wise) As mentioned in an earlier post, after tearing ligaments off the back of my hand on several fingers...

I'll have to watch a LIVE concert DVD of them and pay more attention. I had not listened to Iron Maiden in years, but after pulling out some old CDs for a drive the other day, I remembered how good they were and how much l liked that Bass Sound.

Drumming the strings ? You mean like tapping them straight downward as opposed to pulling more upward ? Hmmm Unique. usually that would seem to be an undesired technique ?

hey gang, time for me to ask a question ... As you know I used to work with Yngwie Malmsteen, I also helped design some effects pedals and other stuff for companies over the years. http://www.analogman.com/dodmod.htm When I have time I also occasionally release some solo material as a hobby...

It is looking like January for next shipment restock of all models & colors
