Was browsing through the Manic Street Preachers, where incidentally Nicky Wire gets some praise for his bass playing from Tony Visconti (now there's a first) when I came across this picture of him with a bass which looks like some Gibson type thing. Intrigued to know if anyone out there can enlighten me. (first time I've tried posting a pic so hope it works OK)
no its not a gibson... its an italia maranello bass heres a link it see it, its not the italia homepage, but its close! http://www.music123.com/Italia-Maranello-Bass-i129029.music Charlie
i've never played it, but di pinto really comes to mind, the belvedere. it also looks lie the single cutaway ESP hollowbody, which i have played, and its ok...not great, but it does have that hollowbody sound. probably a good bass, i wouldn't pay more than $300 for it though... Charlie
