Italia Rimini Electric Bass Guitar
Why it's a best pick:
Italia’s designs not only draw from the past, they improve on it. The Rimini Bass bears a resemblance to the long-defunct Rickenbacker 4005, particularly the distinctive body design and set long-scale maple neck, but with a few worthwhile changes, like a pair of Wilkinson humbuckers, a 22-fret neck and a chambered agathis body that’s both resonant and feedback-resistant. These are the good old days. Street price: $660
Manufacturer Description: Features an agathis body and set maple neck. Two Wilkinson mini humbuckers with separate volumes provide plenty of options for both lead and rhythm. An Italia trapeze tailpiece and tune-o-matic bridge keep your intonation solid.
