1985 (Czech) Jolana DiscoBas. A basket case resurrection and at the outcome - a very nice playing/sounding bass.

Interesting.
How's it sound?

Due to the electronics, it's a somewhat unique setup. It's like the tone circuit is coupled with each pu via one V pot. It's generally dark sounding but with both pu's dimed, it has a nice warm mid-range tone.
