Eagle Basses (They're Swedish Y'Know...)

Amazing value and quality for the price. I'd let my life depend on them if i had too. The AB basses are the best deal on a 6 string you can find anywhere, too bad i really don't like the sound and the ridiculously narrow nut. It probably makes a really good 6-string piccolo though, and i might get a Hazze Wazeen too if i can afford it. If you like the feel and sound, why not?

 

They are very popular here in Mexico.. and very affordable. Great for the price.
I've never seen the models featured in the website thought.. Only older ones.

 

I think Ive seen these at the Sam Ash under a different name.

Im definetly eyeing a few of those.

i like this one.


samick (korean company) makes some models with headstocks that look the same (not like this one but like the eagle basses). i wonder if there's any connection?

 

You have... Sam Ash has been selling several of these under the "Carlo Robelli" name for a few years now. My guess is that Eagle is getting the same basses from Korea (or Vietnam) under their brand name.

Well.. I've seen some Carlo Robelli's in BassPLayer ads and they dont look quite similar tome, and actually Eagle guitars are supposed to be designed in Sweden.

 

Two of the basses I distinctly remember Sam Ash selling a few years ago were the "Hazze Wazeen" and "AB Bass IV" Models. They might have been selling them under their "Brownsville" line.

EDIT: The "Carlo Robelli" line is exclusive to Sam Ash... It's a name they made up to sell their house brand.


Regarding the Swedish thing... I just noticed this at the top of their website:

"Modern basses, Swedish Design - Korean Craftmanship - the best combination for great value" I suppose some of the models were designed by them

Yeah I think It was Brownsville.
