kononykheen bass, anyone?

[mrbacco]

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!

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.

The current situation down there suggests that you turn your head to that direction only after Vladimir has left the building.

And I doubt they could ship worldwide as they are based in Russia, but maybe Russia is worldwide according to Putin's idea of the world...

yeah ... 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! 🙂

no, as I don't know the brand, let me check: I believe is https://chownybass.com/, correct? thanks!

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'.

That yellow bass is a Retrovibe,

 

David Konig does some design work for Chowny but runs his own business.

thanks, I noticed that: I wonder why retrovibe does short&medium scale mostly and they have only 1 bass (tele) long scale? 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
