Meh, pass.

I can sure see how they'd scratch a retro itch, if you've got one. And Danny DK Klein endorses them. How can you fail to trust a man who dresses like that?

I don't think I've heard of Dudacus before, but I'd rock an Apollo. They look pretty rad I have no money to spend on anything music related right now though, so it doesn't really matter

The three on the bottom look okay, but the one on the top?
Please, just another case of LAMS, much like the new Jackson bass.

Regardless, they're unknown quantities, and not worth a gamble to me.
(The bass in my avatar was an unknown quantity, too, but a smart gamble. These? Maybe, but compared to other great products for half the price, I doubt it.)
Other than that...Dudacus? Sounds like a good name for a Roman stand-up comedian.

Edit: Wow, didn't notice this before!
I just changed my mind!

Unique to Dudacus Basses are the Starlite sparkle finishes applied to the back of each instrument. They complement the front, which can be finished in virtually any translucent, color burst, or solid color.

I'm a big fan of the back of basses!

I like how 3/8 endorsers are from the Eddie Money Band. I had no idea that band had so many bass players...

 

[lomo]

Thanks, but no thanks. YMMV

 

[wvbass]

They all look like caricatures of other models...Rick and Ibanez come to mind.

 

[funkinbottom]

Sorry, but that's a pass for me too.

You have to take yourself pretty seriously to charge $3k, and not at all seriously to call yourself Dudacus.

I would absolutely rock a Dudacus for $300, but not $3,000.

 

[jd56hawk]

And here I am I thinking it was pronounced Dud-acus!

Seriously, though, this one looks good...hints of Ric, Hofner and Dingwall.

It always concerns me when a business website isn't using an encrypted connection. No, they're not doing commerce, but it's still one of those "hmmm..." things.

And some of those "Friends" pictures really look photoshopped to me. That might have been to emphasize the bass, but it's a bit concerning as well.

 

[TheReceder]

I gotta give credit to anyone that's gutsy enough to start their own business. Who knows... In 50 years we might be hearing which bass is better The T bass (Tiberius) or the S Bass (Sparta)... and asking... Leo Who?

Well... maybe not.

 

[Pings Bass]

Filling that important niche market of people who want a bass that looks like a Ric, but think a Ric isn't expensive enough

 

[TrustRod]

I always wonder when I see makers imply US made but then say things that look lawyer written like "Based in Cambridge". I don't know where the woodwork is done but I suspect it goes on a boat ride after. One of the videos has a made in America t-shirt. If they are why doesn't the website advertise this very strong selling point that means so much to them? Has anyone here been to their factory?

I'm seeing a bit of LeCompte in the Venus.

It's a Squarespace website, you'd think they would offer SSL. They have to know many browsers will block the site and give a security warning.

I looked up the business address and it's a residence. Nice looking house.

And I'm pretty sure sparkle finishes are not unique to this company. Spidey senses fully activated!

 

[Moon Fetus]

I wouldn't touch any aspect of that company with a ten-foot pole, partially because of personal taste and partially because everything about that website gives off questionable vibes.

Dudacus! If Esh and Rickenbacker were first cousins that had children.
