warwickhunt Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 It's a cheap piece of cr*p at a high price tag. It's a horrendous copy of a bass only a mother could love (sorry Status, Warwick & Entwhistle fans). The logo looks like it should be Westone. It's custom made in Russia but you are paying someone in the USA. The case is an optional extra that is made to order. ... I could go on but you decide; is it just wrong or will you be ordering one?

Dubs Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 It looks like a cartoon monster has taken a huge bite out of the back of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waynepunkdude Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 (edited) I like the idea of selling it by telling people it was the Soviet Unions favorate workshop like that is a mark of quality. *Russian accent* "I make good bass for you, yes?"

budget bassist Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Looks like something they knocked out of a chinese factory for a tenner. And who else HASN'T heard of the brand "russtone"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merton Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 (edited) Awful! How long before Warwick put a stop to Russtone making this (as they did with Status)??? Edited July 24, 2008 by Merton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll go for "knocked out of a Chinese factory for £12.50". Anyone else think this has a distinct whiff of the DC Montanas about it? :ph34r: Jon.
