Moscow Experimental Factory of Musical Instruments

The price tag says 130 roubles, which is not too much (for such a cool-looking bass). The bass was made at Moscow Experimental Factory of Musical Instruments - the same factory where some cool Soviet stompboxes were made - check out this fuzzwah. The neckplates feature the factory's street address, so you can try to send them a letter. Another nice detail you should pay attention to is how the bass with the red pickguard is strung (enlarge the headstock picture). This is the only right way to put strings on cheesy guitars!
