I thought it was a bass the fisg

 

[ReneB]

Is it Jimmy Hoffa?

That's what I was gonna reply when I saw the package - you beat me to it!

Lady Gaga?

Ahh, now THAT would be newsworthy!

 

[Smooth_bass88]

Don't they know a bass is supposed to have strings in order to play music with it? Sheesh...

 

[bobalu]

Depends? I get those all the time.

 

[hsech]

The spared no expense on a solid shipping container and professional packing.

See ya! Lost interest.

Nice! Please keep us posted on how well it sets up and plays! !!!!!

I will.

Does anyone know how to make one of the adapter cables from the soviet 5 pin to 1/4"?

 

[GBassNorth]

Can't tell for sure from the package shape but I'm guessing you got either a Sea Bass or a couple of Large Mouth Bass.

Now why you need a 5 pin to 1/4" adapter has me confused. Are you planning on cooking your bass with electric current?

Inquiring minds want to know!

LOL. My Soviet bass came in very similar packaging, except the seller put the foam package inside a feed bag with the address taped onto a piece of scrap wood zip-tied to the neck of the feed bag. The post office clerk actually said "***!" The package was kick ass though, unusual but very well protected.

For the plug, order a "5 Pin DIN Plug" (Rean makes nice ones) and a standard guitar cable with serviceable ends. Replace one of the ends with the DIN plug. Different mfgrs use different pin assignments. So, pull the DIN socket on your Soviet guitar to see which 2 pins to wire on your DIN plug. One of my Soviet basses (with on-board fuzz) has a 2-channel output so I am working on setting that up with a stereo cable.

No offence, but it looked better wrapped up.

Wow, I'm not getting the put downs. Different isn't always good, it's rarely better but who's to know, it might be cool as hell and not sound out of the ordinary. It may in fact be extraordinary! I look forward to your review.

 

[OldCityBassman]

Me thinks its cool!

Well DUH! How else would you cook an Electric Bass?

Me too... That's why I bought it.

That, and it was advertised as the ultimate Zombie Smashing weapon. These things have a reputation for not only being indestructible, but they are balanced better for swinging than playing!

Well, that review wasn't too promising.

Hopefully you'll be able to dial it in and get some use out of it.

And, if not, at the least it'll be a conversation starter.


Back during the Soviet break-up, tons of Soviet goods were being proliferated throughout Europe and my Aunt in Rome sent me a Soviet Navy Submariner's Watch. Made of bronze, heavy as hell and it required constant winding. It wasn't as good as the cheapest Timex but it was very cool. I wore it for years and showed it off to anyone that noticed it.

I just checked eBay... they're loaded with them. Mine looked like this but in bronze. Same dial face.

Enjoy it, whatever it turns out to be.

I don't share your viewpoint, but I did laugh out loud.

I think it actually looks pretty sweet. It's just tiny...

 

[noeinstein]

I love this kind of suspense.
