New Italia Hollowbodies

February 1, 2007 at 5:39 pm · Filed under News

Pennydreadful from TalkBass tipped me off to these upcoming Italia hollowbody basses:

Rimini 4
-Agathis chamber body
-Maple set-in neck
-Italia bass mini humbucker

The Rimini 4 is based on the Italia Rimini Guitar, which comes in a bunch of pearloid colors, so maybe the color choices for the bass will be similar. Check out the guitar in white pearloid:

Mondial Woody Bass
-Soft Maple top w/wood binder
-Mahogany body back
-Mahogany set-in neck
-ABR bass humbucker
-Piezo with 3band slide EQ
-Handbuilt wooden bridge

This model is pretty similar to previous Mondial Bass, but without the res-o-glass inspired top.

Those sure are some good looking basses. I wish they came in a fiver.

The Mondial Woody’s actually been around for a while- except the F-hole was a slightly different shape and it was called the ‘Mondial II’. I hope somebody somewhere gets a picture of the white pearloid Rimini 4. Or maybe I’ll just have to buy one. By the way- I found them for sale at jacksmusicstore.com for about $470.
