The Carlo Robelli 12-string basses were made in Korea and were available exclusively from the Sam Ash music stores. They have apparently been discontinued as they are no longer listed on the Sam Ash website.

The Carlo Robelli 12 has a body style very similar to the Venson bass detailed on this site.

The headstock design and truss rod cover are nearly identical to the Galveston basses.
It has a Brass nut and Gotoh tuners.

Eight saddle bridge. Selectable Active or Passive pick-ups
