Re: sick bass is really sick

http://cheesyguitars.com/tonika_bass.html There's links to pretty much all of the USSR instruments at that link. Russian guitars are cool to look at, but they sound like the average garage-sale Teisco type would give it a run for its money. Eastwood is pretty much the perfect choice if you want a Russian guitar, and actually PLAY it... I'd bet that the new ones are more than 5 times better instruments than the originals... They look cool, though, especially if you like the weirder stuff from the 60's.

Haha...I never really 'got' Eastwood instruments. I think people get what they do, or don't. I don't.

I wish they made a better Mosrite... Their Univox copy is ok, but the Mosrites fall short imo.
