it's true,soviet factories used to put these connectors on all types of their guitars, they were called "SG-5". the truth is, when the damned union fell apart, our musicians here in Ukraine rejoiced,when they switched to standard "jack-type" connectors, because those SG-5 were simply terrible and impractical, those damned terminals were constantly bent and so more :)
The DIN plug allowed the guitar to broadcast direct to the Soviet authorities so that if a Stilyagi played rock n roll they could be intercepted by the KGB
Easily one of the best restoration you've done on your channel so far! The amount of work and time you spent on this one is insane I guess... I'm not a fan of the paint job though, but it's just a matter of taste. Congrats for giving this bass a second life! I hope the future owner will be happy with it, and will take care of her.
Very nice job man and thanks for using no distracting background music. All the little noises like that fret rounding thingy make great asmr. Thanks for keeping instruments alive and also what a very nice paint job!
Did not expect the art being added, but I loved it. I was surprised and delighted by it. These are my favorite types of projects, restoration meets art meets music. Awesome work and great attention to detail
Чернигов бас. Молодец ресторатор. Приятно смотреть как из хлама восстанавливается инструмент. Оригинальное решение нового дизайна - хиппи раскрас от Дж.Харриссона, при полном сохране оригинальной конструкции. Ортодоксальные коллекционеры не любят и малейших изменений, наверно будут ворчать про то что снят советский полиэфир. Они по своему правы. Но тут такое доброе изменение. Отлично.
Wow,it's crazy beautiful renovation,thank you for your work(mostly - art)as asual!) Idea about painting very cool,it's super special for "ukrainian 70's moustache funk/bigbeat psychedelic" context,it's really about ideas and culture(Pryimachenko-style paint),literally precious!

So many questions: what was the bass originally? What kind of strings are those? Is it clearcoated to protect the paint? Also what are the background music tracks?
and I will give you the answers Bass guitar from the Chernigov factory, produced in 1973 (btw, on my Patreon there is a detailed description of this bass guitar, it’s free😉) The strings are dadario nylon tapewound Drawings covered with acrylic And what kind of music are you asking about? What am I playing? or double bass in the background?
When the hand plane entered the chat I was very surprised! I guess there was significant back bow but wow that’s a quick (and brutal) way to get a lot of material off in a hurry, not sure I’d have the guts to try that! I don’t understand how it didn’t cause some tear-out when the blade crossed the fret slots but obviously it worked 👍
Fantastic job! You earned my subscribe. Don't listen to the few idiots on here who are dogging the guitar. The only thing they've ever created is disappointment for their parents.
It went from trash to art… that you can make more art with. Incredible work and great imagination seeing what it could become. Beautiful bass. And I’ve been wanting to do nickel plating for a while, too. Next project I have an excuse to, I will.
That's a great restoration, I love the artwork! It might have been better to paint the body and neck at the end of the process but it made better sense for you this way with the available time ? That fretboard is thick as hell !
Great Job! I love it! Just two questions: 1.-What’s the black dust material at 6:27? 2.-Why did you paint the frets, with a marker at 22:20? Thanks in advance! Congratulations for that beautifull job!
You mentioned you wanted to bend the neck into a slight back bow as there was no truss rod.. how did you manage that?.. some use heat and a straight bar and apply pressure to the middle back.. i hope you did some of this work BEFORE it was painted.. lol.?.. excellent job on this considering where it started.. excellent work..
Thank you! No, I did it after, you can see in the video that I work with the neck when it is screwed to the body. I press the body with straps to the table and watch the bend I get
Adorable colour & decoration!, makes me think about decorated flour jars, cooking utensils, etc. from my childhood... It was a retro style, popular in the 70:s, then mostly with printed decor, inspired by earlier hand painted things from the 40:s(? )... I also had a relative, Lena Marcus, ceramic artist, which did things in a somewhat similar style. The Nastya, is she by any chanse ceramic artist?
We were inspired by the paintings of Maria Primachenko from those years. Nastya does not paint on ceramics, but is actively involved in pysankar(Easter egg painting.)
Great job you're really talented. Don't do the snapping of the fingers with a before and after shot as its cheesy. Do your own thing as you have the talent to be original ❤
Sorry if the question was answered before in the comments or later in the video as I'm just at the start, but seeing the dismal state of the bass when you got it got me curious: do you get a great instrument rebuilding this because the wood is from the 70s etc and there's something you can't emulate regarding the age of the guitar or is it, even with restoration, just sounds worse than an off-the-shelf Ibanez or Yamaha and you're simply using this as an exercise? Either way, love your videos :D
Thank you! Hmm, I've been repairing guitars for so long and a lot that I can no longer tell you what a “Good” or “Bad” sound is. Trends are constantly changing and every sound from any bass guitar can be used in an interesting way. I was pleased with the sound of this bass, it gives exactly the old sound that I expected from it, but still, I prefer the sound of a good MusicMan😏
Ah man I love everything about this until you made it 2 volume knobs only. You could’ve made it a more versatile bass by making those pots be stacked concentric knobs. Each controlling volume/tone for their respective pickup. You should revisit this idea in the future
I'll do this later, I only had ordinary potentiometers at hand. there was an option to make 1 volume (for two sensors) and 1 tone, but in the case of two volumes, it seemed more varied to me
Unlucky 13th fret? 😉 Does this bass have a truss rod? Lovely art by the way. I had a cream strat with brilliant original fairy art but a drug addict friend stole it not long before he overdosed. 😢
flat wound players be like "theres some life left in those strings"
They looked good as new!!
There is some life left in any string u can still pull to tension
Just boil them and put them back on!
@@ChrisamicBoil them? Just lick them clean
Possibly
You won my respect when you recreated the pickups using what you had of the old parts, looks like someboddy mightve robbed this bass of its magnets.
Thank you, the magnets were lying around, but in the end, it was decided to replace them
Of course it’s easy, if I had those tools, two hundred hours, good taste and this much talent I’d do the same
😉
not sure if i would have done the graphics but it sounds nice
Thanks!
I appreciate a pick-guard that can stop small arms fire.
You weren’t joking !
When you live in Ukraine, you need to be prepared for anything😉
@@mr.k1t it appears the same applies if you live in Russia bordering Ukraine. Such a pandemic that russophobia.
In Soviet Russia you don’t play the bass. The bass plays you! Wa ha ha
Showing much love to an old bass not worth throwing into a bonfire. Nice work!
I woul not call it restoration, it is whole rebuilding. Great job man!
Thanks!
Not so much a restoration, more the creation of a beautiful complete work of art. Very well done sir.
Thank you!
Wow, never saw a DIN-type connector on a guitar before.
it`s 5 pin soviet style cable

Thank you!
Excellent, it's beautiful. Glad you used the original parts.
I wanted to replace all the parts with new ones, but then I discovered nickel plating. And in my opinion it turned out well
Did not expect the art being added, but I loved it. I was surprised and delighted by it. These are my favorite types of projects, restoration meets art meets music. Awesome work and great attention to detail
Thank you, I have long dreamed of realizing my idea with drawings on the guitar
Wow a floating bridge on a bass..very cool guitar, great work.
Thank you!
My 1968 Gretsch bass also has a floating bridge. Back in the day they were common.
And don’t forget about classic
Hofner violin also has a floating bridge.
That nickel plating really did wonders!
Looks amazing lots of good work on this base and like the artwork 👍
Thank you!
Beautiful pattern, I can’t believe I like it this much!
Thank you!
Yea at first I found it childish but then I saw the result and was convinced. It's beautiful 😍
Thank you for posting this vlog. It is a joy to watch a craftsman at work.
Thanks!
Beautiful restoration and playing.

Thats.. certainly something George would do to his guitar....
Excellent sound! Personally I think painted a solid color would be preferred but it is a matter of choice
Thanks!
I've been wanting to draw something on a guitar for a long time, and this time nothing was holding me back😉
Soviet era guitars are weird but this one is something special fr
Yep, it`s ukrainian one from 1970`s
I was delighted with this brass pickguard.
i like how the pick guard came out

Судя по разъёму пятиштырьковому штекера ОНЦ-ВГ-4-5/16-Р (СГ-5) и отсутствия анкера - это гитара из СССР примерно 1965-70 года. Так же "узнаваемы" звукосниматели по 9 руб.

Chernyhyv factory in Ukraine 1973

That's a great restoration, I love the artwork! It might have been better to paint the body and neck at the end of the process but it made better sense for you this way with the available time ? That fretboard is thick as hell !
Thank you, we covered it with a layer of matte acrylic, the neck is really thick since it is without a truss rod
Amazing work. Woulda settled for either a smaller or a transparent pick-guard to flash some more of the excellent paint work.
Ahh, the Gibson grabber bass… World renowned for it versatility and uncompromising tone
They were clearly inspired by this
Great job ! Aesthetically it is not my taste. But I recognize the work and that you have clarified its duration. Plus the bass sounds amazing...
Thanks!
Awesome!!, congratulations. Montevideo-Uruguay.
Thank you!
Ready for the Tulip festival
The Result ,,,,Not My type of paint job or strings but The Tone and Sound sounds great !! Just wonder how it feels ,,,Great Job !!!!
Great restoration! The paint job is awesome! Next time fill in that gash in the body with ramen noodles I hear that’s the proper way to fix that 😉
Thank you!
I have to admit, I had this idea😉
Stunning result. Master craftsmanship! Congrats brother
Thank you! 🙏
Awesome job on everything 😊
excellent job, you rebuilt something that many would consider trash, it possibly looks better than in its good years.
te luciste pa.
Thank you! I wanted to give this bass a little more than just stick it together.
It may be a soviet bass, the output is a 5-pin connector
Love that artwork! It really brings that base to life. You all working together really made something uniquely special.
Thank you!
Stunning work from all of you! Mesmerising scene when the artwork is put on. Thanks a lot for sharing.
Thank you for your feedback!
Huge project! Love the artwork
Thank you!
this is an amazing job and 100+ for the painting skills. thanks i love it 🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯

Guessing this wasn't meant to be used since you painted pictures on the back of the neck?
Probably would have fixed those drill holes first...
That's really nice man. So glad you decided to with a different visual. It's a unique and special piece. Thank you for posting.
Thank you! I've been wanting to do something unique for a long time
Great Job! I love it! Just two questions:
1.-What’s the black dust material at 6:27?
2.-Why did you paint the frets, with a marker at 22:20?
Thanks in advance! Congratulations for that beautifull job!
Thank you!
1) this is graphite dust
2) to understand the difference in fret heights when levelling
Рисунок адовый. Ещё металлические части требуют доработки. Слишком много царапин. От работы над грифом получил удовлетворение.

Yes, it is without a truss rod
Sad story
How to put a thousand dollars worth of time and material into a $3 bass to end up with a $10 bass.
But sometimes it is just the fun of the process.
Great job but the paint job was a let down for me !
Amazing! Awesome!
wspaniała praca,piękny instrument.gratuluję i pozdrawiam
Дякую 🙏
Great job! But why didn't you make the nut directly at that 1st fret. Cutting it there instead?
I love the paint job you chose- fits well with the style/ year of the bass
Thanks!
Sensacional! Um belo e minucioso trabalho. O resultado foi esplêndido! Congratulações!
Obrigado!
Great restoration...hate the flowery paint job though...
Nice work, man 👍 Very cool art and it has a really pretty sound to it. I'd be happy to own that bass!
Thank you, it turned out really well, I'm really happy about it
Of all things why the "Pennsylvania Dutch" designs?
This painting refers to the Ukrainian artist Maria Primachenko, since the bass was made in Ukraine in the 1970s, I wanted to emphasize this
Perfect 👌
Thanks!
Une vidéo reposante et un son doux à la fin. C'était agréable.
Хорошая работа!
Bass neck with no truss rod... Does it worth the time spent? Anyway, good working skills, nice decoration...
modulus bass, vigier one without truss rod and these are high-end guitars.
Btw Thank you for your comment
