mrbacco Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 (edited) Anyone know this brand com,ing from RUssia? https://kononykheen.com/guitars/kononykheen-breed-forty-two/ It seems to be a nice telecaster like bass, but not sure about the sound etc? Cheers! Edited September 23, 2023 by mrbacco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jd56hawk Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 (edited) It's an unknown quantity. It's going to be a gamble...at that price, a big gamble. Sorry, but I wouldn't risk it at half the price. Better bets available. Edited September 23, 2023 by jd56hawk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itu Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 The current situation down there suggests that you turn your head to that direction only after Vladimir has left the building. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess so ... I would not give any penny to Mr Vlad as things stand now ... but I was just wondering if any of you had experience with those basses: in horology, former USSR automatic wrist watches have a decent reputation in terms of robustness and precision, not same as Swiss, obviously, but good ratio price/quality, that's why I was asking 'bout them! 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bassassin Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 Looks an awful lot like the sort of generic Fender derivative you'd pick up for £120-odd from AliExpress. Might be quite an expensive sticker saying 'from the Glorious Motherland'. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That yellow bass is a Retrovibe, David Konig does some design work for Chowny but runs his own business. https://retrovibe.co.uk/product-category/basses/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was very close to buy the P51 long scale they have in stock, but then I had the good bad idea to make one myself! haha Edited September 23, 2023 by mrbacco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
