Bass? We Inwented Bass, Comrade.

[Jeff Bean]

Always been intrigued by these Soviet basses. If I had ever bought one, I would not have been expecting so much of what you might call a musical instrument-like experience, but more of having faced an historical curiosity, and most importantly, then had the occasion to write about it. But in the last aspiration, before ever having even tried, I've already been bested. Read and enjoy. And someone, please reward this seller by buying his "bass."

[southgabass]

Guy makes a Russian Ural bass actually sound good | eBass

 

[hondo4life]

Russian bass is best bass.

 

[bholder]

That actually has an adjustable (looking) bridge - must have been a "high-end" model!

" .......a truly cool curiosity that looks like a bass, but thanks to socialism, does not work like one. "

ROFLMAO

Haha!

@slobake and @hrodbert696 need a good look at this.

 

[TinIndian]

That is the greatest sales pitch i think I've ever heard. If it was on my local CL I think I'd buy it based on his listing alone.

Would make a great wall hanger in my office!

I was into Russian guitars for a while they really don't sound that bad just heavy I still have one left and it's around 13lbs.

I had to play a Russian bass for 7 hours when I was in the army (for new year's eve). Terrible experience, but a great work out.

Jeez who did you piss off to warrant that kind of punishment?

Haha.. That was the only thing around closest to a bass at the time. But since then, any bass I play feels like butter, so I don't complain.

 

[Mark_70]

Classic!

It has lots of switches.
Might be good for metal !?

[CryingBass]

All the worst pickups in all the wrong places?

 

[Hahaha]

That bass looks like it hasn't been to the moon and back.

 

[40Hz]

It might be worth it just for those missile silo switches.
