Nope, not a frothing at the mouth Daily Mail rant about imaginary hordes of immigrants, but a link to a nice looking Eastern European P-Bass:

I love the look of the wood, but it seems very overpriced for a Communist era bass.

Same seller also has this USSR made bass, which I wouldn't touch with a barge pole, but it certainly qualifies as weird:

The Russian bass is a fantastic looking thing. If it was a sensible price (under £100 delivered) I'd consider buying it to use as a template to have a decent one made (with 5-strings!)

If you do a "worldwide" search then these weird Soviet things come up quite often and usually for very low prices. I've bought various music related bits and pieces from Russia (as well as Ukraine), and never had any problems - posting *to* Russia is more risky, as the customs officials that have a reputation for stealing stuff on its way into the country.
