Hi Anthony

I never saw one like this before.

Cool looking thing but...

they never became mainstream because the Sovjets came up with a better version.

I collect weird/fun stuff, and... have an extra room in my house. Find me one of these in playable condition, and... You may have made a SALE. No Joke.

Man, you just know @bholder has one or had one…

 

[jamro217]

It's the acoustic version of an EB-3L.

Ah-yup. My 1937 Regal Bassoguitar. Her name is Victoria.

Tats are seller's. Had gut strings on it then, has GHS Crossovers on it now (way louder and better tone).

A hair under 15, actually.

Their contra-balalaika-ist kinda reminds me of a cross between Sting and Flea, freaked out on Acid and Walter White's best blue crystal!

Are you sure that's not one of a handful of the failed Rickenbacker Andre the Giant Signature model
?

Igor’s been based in SoCal for over 30 years(I used to see them at Venice Beach all the time)and the band has gone through all sorts of personnel changes….

I used to live in Seattle, they came up often. Such a great show!

I'd rather play the bassodrum although muting is a challenge sometimes.
