Musima 1657B hollow body bass


guitarz.blogspot.com

This Musima 1657B may seem unimpressive - a mere approximative copy of a Gibson EB-2 bass -, but I like it a lot: not only have I a thing for hollow body basses but I myself have a Musima 1657B and I'm very happy of it. 

I bought it by chance for 150€ on a Berlin flea market - I just wanted a cheap bass to learn how to play, but it got me into vintage guitars and east-European instruments! It's dark red and is better preserved than this one, which had its pickups, knobs and tuners replaced.

guitarz.blogspot.com: 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...

- Musima 8-string Mandolin With German Carve
guitarz.blogspot.com This is not a GDR guitar but its baby sister, a beautiful vintage Musima mandolin. I'm not a specialist but I've never seen one like this, with its wide german carve and wooden pickguard. Remember that Musima was not...

- Musima Lead Star Superstrat
guitarz.blogspot.com Usually when one thinks of GDR electric guitars, what comes to mind are superb and very German hollow-body jazz guitars, or these later through-the-looking-glass designs, both familiar and  askew, sometimes radically and wildly...
