We love these old Soviet-era "Behind the Iron Curtain" guitars here on Guitarz. I've said before I can't understand why so many bassists stick with the no doubtedly trusty, but unadventurous, Fender Precision Bass when there are so many other fantastic basses - old and new - to consider. I have a couple of 1960s basses in my arsenal and have recorded with them with no problems whatsoever. OK, I appreciate that certain vintage basses, particularly short-scale instruments, don't provide very modern punchy bass tones, but why follow the herd and use the same sounds as everyone else anyway? I don't know what people are so scared of.
This particular bass in "frog green" finish (as the seller calls it) is a Musima Elektra De luxe B Bass and is currently being offered for sale on eBay UK for what seems to me like a totally reasonable price of £189.

- Southpaw Fender Precision Bass In Antigua Finish
guitarz.blogspot.com: What's rarer than a late 1970s Fender Precision Bass in Antigua finish? Well, how about a left-handed late 1970s Fender Precision Bass in Antigua finish? The seller actually claims that this example is from 1980 despite the headstock...
- 1978 Fender Jazz Bass With "love It Or Hate It" Antigua Finish
guitarz.blogspot.com: I'm not sure how many Fender Jazz Basses were produced n Antigua finish, although I know I have seen one before. I'm personally quite a fan of Fender's antigua finish, although I know many people detest it. I quite like...
