Valveamp Bass from the ad up top ^

Bassiklee & Chef,

Galeazzo from Italy has requested that I wait until the new products to arrive in December before sending out instruments for review. They have decided to move some production to the factory that also handles the more upscale Frudua line.

A little better quality hardware and attention to detail .... plus this will be more representative of the large inventory arriving for sale kicking off 2010

Thanks

Michael A Spitzer

i cant lie im once again super excited i started this thread. this has been some of the most exciting new material out there when it comes to the eternal struggle of budget vs innovation that i have seen in a long time. and i am once again so grateful for frudua and mikes presence here.

mike, i have one concern and i just want to clairify in print here. the upgrades to the hardware will be a fair representation of the 2010 modle line up and represent what will ship if ordered.
 
Your Idol,
The upgrades will begin with the products I receive in December and will carry forward for all the 2010 models and later.
Same with the guitars .... better Floyd Rose licensed tremelos and such.

Also switching some manufacturing to the same factory making the upper scale Frudua products.

Hi Everyone there.
Just published the new Exlusive site. Link Removed

Not sure this is the right place to give the news, hope this won't hurt anyone.. I think this answers to most of your questions on the instruments.

I tried to include all info you required including the weight, etc and if you feel there should be more or you find anything not working please drop two lines. Hope you like it. Please let your guitar players know about it also.

Take care,

Frudua
 
i love the dude swinging the bass as a weapon on the headstock!!! the push/pull coil tap animation was a nice touch. i super love the contouring on the headstock. nice way to lighten it up without trashing the structural integrity.

theres two sets of tuners shown between 2 pics together one has a post that shows up on the tuner (hate) one is just a tuner with no visible post (love it. hope this is the one youre rolling with) looks classy like my schallers .

looks damn nice. im excited all over again
 
i wish he wasn't using a pick through the whole thing, but whatever.

+1

With a P and MM pickup this thing should be a funk machine. Would love to hear it finger style.

The quality on these really looks great for the price point. Also happy to see a reverse P pickup. Makes so much more sense than the other way around.

*off to convince my wife that I need one*

BTW that website is fantastic! Kicks the F*nder websites all over the sidewalk. Love the close up views of the bridge and whatnot. Looks like real block inlays too :hyper:
 
Hey gang, my apologies for all pick playing in the Fusion 5 demo ...... ever since I tore ligments in my hand 2 years ago (and spent six months with my right hand in a brace), I rarely finger pick guitar, much less bass anymore.

My right hand never healed back 100%, so I even had to modify my picking technique for electric guitar somewhat.

If any of you happen to be located near South Florida, perhaps we can arrange for you to drive down one day, shoot demos for all the Tuscany & Exlusive bass models and compensate you with a free bass product ?

Just a thought.
