untune Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 (edited) Hi all, not been round here in a while! Wondering if anyone can settle this as it has me curious - The Veils were in one of the later episodes of the new series of Twin Peaks a few months ago. Really liked the track and I noticed the bassist, Sophia Burn, playing a rather nice vintage looking bass which looks akin to something 60s and Japanese (Teisco and the like) but I can't for the life of me find anything like it from searching. Anyone seen one before?

Burns-bass Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 I've seen these basses before. I think it's actually a Soviet-era Ural bass guitar. If you check out their range, there are guitars with the same body shape, I reckon they just also created a bass version. They also did some amazing other instruments.

untune Posted October 21, 2017 Author Share Posted October 21, 2017 Cheers for that - I thought Soviet might be a possibility since it reminded me of some I'd seen before but I can't even find it amongst those! It makes me wonder whether they use cheap, rare instruments as TV props rather than anything more recognisable, as every other picture I've seen her playing a Precision. Jermaine Clement had a Kavkaz bass on both series of the Flight of the Conchords aswell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
