Has anyone tried Tuscany basses?

They look pretty nice and I saw some vids where davidsinrocks used them and they sounded really good

Any opinions on these basses?

It's the same guy behind the two brands: Link Removed. Looks stunning, haven't try any of these in real life though. Anybody?

FWIW, I'm digging their "Spider" bass.

I guess 3months is somewhere best time interval for spammers.

Doing it more frequently would be obviously.

And more than 3months between is bad for teh business...

Spam or not, they're not a great deal for those of us in the US. ~$550 before importing it for a brand that means nothing here. As far as I can see judging by this thread, the brand means pretty much nothing anywhere. No better resale value than an SX. A Mexican Fender is about the same price before importing and will have a better resale. A Skyline will probably give you at least as good quality as the Tuscany will and again, better resale value.

At best the Tuscany is a very nice instrument and perhaps in the EU it could be a bargain, but at present it would be hard to sell should you decide to. It would be a long time (if ever) before having a vintage Tuscany will give it some cache.

In summary: meh.
