I'm sure I've seen pics of those (or similar) before.

Yes indeed. Tonica bass made in Russia.

 

Someone on here bought one a while ago for a deco piece. I can't remember who it was now.

Someone in Ukraine has loads of weird eastern European basses on ebay right now.

@Happy Jack I think?

IIRC quite a few Russian guitars used the 5 Pin DIN connector, with on board switches for amp settings selection, channel reverb etc. Quite a good idea if standards are adhered to. Maybe it was for paired Guitar and Amp from the same manufacturer.

 

I think the Muse guitarist has on board effects or switches, to operate so not tied to one place on stage...

Yup, I have a Tonika hanging over my fireplace.

 

Srsly.
