is the pickguard cardboard? it looks like if you colored on cardboard with a marker, and kept coloring until it flaked off and you had to color that second layer to get it to match, but it doesn't really match.

looks like fun, but also looks like crap. let us know how it is!

I think the pickguard is green kryptonite

thank christ you're not a krypton native!

Should I leave the original jack in and by a russian cord or install a new 1/4" jack?

6 pin DIN? wtf is that shite?

Frak! After wrestling for weeks with this decision whether to change the original soviet 5-pin jack to standard 1/4"( I am so anl about changing stuff from original specs)

Finally I had to ask myself WWJD?

What would Jemaine do?



The answer was simple of course ,he would put a 1/4" jack in.That is what he did to his bass,what else could he do?

So I made my decision and told my luthier friend Ted "Just do it!"

Then yesterday I saw this on ebay a soviet era 5-pin to 1/4" adapter for $20 Frak!Frak!Frak! (Link)

Interesting, but it looks like more trouble than it is worth..... but if it settles your soul.

i wanna see pics of the jack on the guitar. i haven't seen one like this before, and i'm curious what you're up against.

WWJD had me LOL'ing.

have Ted change it back.

ROFL, just remember, when you play it play it like you would be making sweet love to a sexy lady, i bet that's WWJD

I saw one of these at Atomic music in Maryland a couple weeks ago when my girlfriend and I were visiting her family. It was in bad shape and they paid too much for it and the guy couldn't sell it for any less than $190, so I passed on it. The input on it had been converted to a normal 1/4 inch jack.

Thanks for the posts! cur is correct this bass is more trouble than it is worth but in for a penny in for a pound.Ted called me today to say that it would actually need alot of routing to put a new jack in so I told him to leave the original in.I ordered the adapter from Ukraine.

it makes the bass look even cooler!

"Reunited and it feels so good!"



"Papa's got a brand new bag!"



New nut



New bridge



I'm not going to change the knobs because they are original and kinda cool
besides I spent too much already.



Kept the original 5-pin din jack so I can't play it till I get the adaptor

Now I have to get This

Is their anywhere in the USA where I can get a 5-pin DIN adaptor or a connector so that I can make a cable? The adaptor I bought on ebay may take a month or more to get here.

Nevermind,I found it.

What kinda pedal do I need to make it sound like...

that song is awesome. but that's basically what my jazz bass sounds like through my bbe green screamer.

Can I use my Big Muff with my bass? I did and it sounded good but it started to feedback when I turned it up.

stop facing the amp. i use my timhulio russian muff on my bass a lot. sounds fucking second to none.
