Wow look at this ugly ducklin'
Did they really think they were even close to the RD Artist??
The Czech luthiers have come a long way since the seventies ;D
Jolana Disko Bass - RD Artist Copy (http://cgi.ebay.de/Jolana-Disko-Bass-Copy-of-Gibson-RD-Artist-BASS_W0QQitemZ250235788257QQihZ015QQcategoryZ23300QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem)

It has something nice! But a really bad copy indeed.
I have an old Jolana semisolid. Bad too;)
I like it! Of course, looking at the pictures, it doesn't look as nice up close. The rough looking plate reminds me of Jerry Garcia's Alligator strat..
I kinda like it- headstock has a dano/silvertone vibe. The control plate is probably made from hubcaps off an old Skoda. ;D
Probably a bad sign that there is a bag of charcoal sitting next to it.

Have you seen the cheesy guitars site? It has info on Eastern bloc guitars including Jolana. See these links: http://meatexz.com/cheesyguitars/jolana.html

No, there is always room for improvement. It may serve a purpose after all.
