hallo !
can some one tell me more about this " Omega " "electric guitar made in USSR " on a Bass-3 like headless bass ?
Could be the later version of the Bass-3 , with three pot's and slightly rounder body top . Why is the neckplate in English , for abroad/foreign purposes ?

In the USSR, it was believed that everything that is produced for foreign markets, i.e. for export, has the best quality. Just a marketing gimmick.

I have the exact same bass guitar. The assembled guitar is good, a little rough, but it plays on its brutal appearance. When you look at this bass, it seems that Darth Vader will start breathing behind your back)). This bass sounds similar to all JB guitars, but the sound is a little weak. But who plays the pure sound these days? ))) I use a preamp (Hartke bass attack) and with it the sound becomes excellent)))
