Well, if you follow the link that the seller of that $150 bass (hint...hint) posted, it appears that Cheesy Guitars thinks very little of these basses, and even states that they're not worth more than $50, and even then, only for show.

150 + 75 shipping for a piece of junk with "imperfections"? I don't think so! Maybe the Moldovan seller doesn't understand that it's a mistake to link to the Cheesy Guitars review. OTOH it probably is a "different and rare" sound, just not in the way he means it.

Pah, Russian spies!!!

Boris and Natasha weren't really spies, they were only trying to learn how to build decent guitars and basses.

I don't know why everyone is so excited when all the Russkies do is show a healthy, unadulterated interest in all things American. The day they stop sending spies to you and start sending them to India and China only is the day you should fear.
