probably yes. my guitar output was twice lower too

I bought it on ebay here www.ebay.com/itm/221516835941

googled it, yeah looks cool!

I have one too! Came from the Terek factory - 5500 made. The dampener I can’t figure out either I was thinking something surf guitar related. When I checked the schematic there’s a knob for main volume and the other 3 control tone for each respecitve pickup if I remember right.

thanks, yes I bought a stereo cable for this. but to record I use stereo preamp / combo emulator / line

@@RomanDark cool I have a Stella also, the stereo doesnt work anymore so I am getting it fixed! Love that guitar and have recorded two songs with it already

It wasn't for KZbin it is a quick fix for free for people from Facebook. I don't remember much but I remember I reached the limits for action and intonation. at the final stage, I tuned it for open chords, and the user was happy.

It would work perfect as a doom metal guitar! Just weird cooky stuff that sounds unique!

А нахера, я в таком образе со времен долбаных динозавров коим и сам уже являюсь... выступал на сцене с какой либо маской на все лицо или на пол лица.. в детсве так играл в ниндзя... да и это агрит разных даунитосов и они создают мне лишнюю активность на канале. это я не про тебя, рускоязычным может отталкивать по другому. А вот эти все кто думают что это от короновируса... Ощущение что это боты но не важно. Да и я забил уже на этот канал перешел на геймдев, на другом канале без маски ибо там пох на образ.

thanks. It was so long time ago... I am not sure now but I think I used the official manual. This one: www.pitbullguitars.com/wp-content/uploads/pdf/PBG-4%20string%203%20pot%202017.pdf

@@RomanDark Thanks. I found that one too but doesn't help me be cause this pickups have 4 cables and 1 of them is sheathed, that diagram seems to be incomplete. Luckily, I found that it uses the same wiring as Bartolini pickups so here I have my Explorer back on the road again! 😁

@@Cabeza492 now I remember... I think it didn't help me either I just searched the internet... btw it is the best bass so far... on my last video I have red bass but actually, I slapped this bass.

@@RomanDark That is a awesome build too!! I would love to assemble another one, but as I live in Argentina, costs makes it very difficult :/

I don't remember I think I bought it somewhere in Poland. Yes the aluminum foil wasn't a good choice. It even put the signal wire to ground once because it deforms and goes everywhere. I think it would be better to use a copper tape.

@@RomanDark : copper tape is the way to go if you have instruments that may get high resale value, so "Thou Shalt NOT do definitive mods" on some vintage Gibson, Fender and anything your hipster dentist may buy from you when you need a new carNear all my guitars come from the best lutheries in Europe, mainly from Vigier (when they still were only two at the job) and from master luthier Christophe Leduc... As soon as the graphite paint became available, they adopted it, as well as all doing true high-end: you'll see that copper tape is near as a pain in the ass as aluminium and is not cheap. Actually, I used aluminium adding double-side adhesive tape on my ex US-Strat and as it was yet another overexpensive Fender turd, I was always doing electronics mods (had bought several blank pickguards) over the 9 years I owned it, moreover, the swimming-pool routing was very mod-friendly: I could have installed 7 single coils or 3 HBs+1 SC... I was using a SS-S-SS config with two SC-sized DiMarzio humbuckers teamed with Fender SCs. I first did it with likely all PU combinations feasible, but many had no interest and as I found my first touring band, it soon happened that it was a pain in the ass to toggle several switches when changing the sounds. I replaced one of the pots with a duplo, and the other with a rotactor, so I could select the config between songs and just use the 5 posn. Today, I'm mounting the Free-Way selectors on many of my guitars: you get 10 posn with a 2x5 ways blade selector, and 6 from a 2x6 and they perfectly replace the Fender/Gibson styled ones IIRC, I had to replace the aluminium after about 18 months, and the copper-tape lasted the double... My little tries ended with never being satisfied, moreover, I was into intensive practise and so 7 years of tendinitis on 9 years of ownership... Then a budy who was doing business in the 2nd hand market told me "Ya know what? I'm gonna sell you a guitar", and brought a freaking Excalibur Supra SSS... It was funny since the neck+bridge PUs were FS-1 I had already tried on the Strat, but here, they sounded absolutely awesome... Another point was that after 3 weeks, the tendinitis was gone, the Strat was returned to its out-of-shop status: original tuners, nut, saddles and PUs+pickguard were reinstalled, the copper-tape ousted, and the Strat re-sold for more than I bought it as new, thanks to two autographs on the headstock. The Excalibur was my first real super-guitar... Thus, there was a single cool thing on the Strat, the 2 and 4 posn, 2 for arpeggios and 4 for funk. The Exca being routed HSH under the pickguard, no way I'll drill holes for a SS-S-SS and since I never use the middle PU alone, had a replica of the Abigail Ybarra '69 set merged with a FS-1 and the same DM DP185 as on the Exca, Auricap caps... There were several PGs due to switching mods, the most recent one has the Free-Way... And the graphite paint inside is still unaltered... Got this 1993 guitar in '97... What am I doing on this topic? Well, I have a bunch of true-high end guitars, but I like to collect weird-looking ones, moreover, I self-limit to two solid-bodies per main wood... And there are Soviet guitars that look really weird and are made of beech... I had already customized my 1st cheap guitar, the infamous Musima Deluxe 25, as a no-name fretless bass, likely made by Yoojin. The Musima ended f-cked up, but with the experience, I did well with the bass, and, even if definitive mods are to be done, I surely can get something interesting in the end that will be with a different sound while being useable, even if I need to reshape the neck and change everything onboard, I mean this stuff sells for €150-300 and one of my luthies makes wonderful while very affordable custom PUs. These Soviet guitars are perfect to do some punk-luthier stuff even making 'em useable while sounding different since they were using odd materials, I don't expect stellar results, I mean, beech is a no go, same for plywood, if you want an electric Stradivarius, but using such stuff on an album is interesting to be used as a contrast to an hi-end instrument or if you want smth odd here and there, and if I get e.g. a Tonika, it can be fun for a video-clip, just like the Roland G-707 used for Billy Idol or Sigue Sigue Sputnik clips (thus, the G-707 is truly a great guitar). I like a lot the design of the Bulgarian Orfeus Skurill, especially the orange one on Lord Bizarre's website, it's very likely I'll reuse this design for a true high end guitar made of padauk which is naturally orange (as long as you keep it away from UVs or it turns dark brown)

wow what a story! thanks for sharing.

@@RomanDark : yeah, I'm ageing, I'll soon pour sugar on the strawberries

yes that's the song I was trying to play there

I was just going ask this question. I recognized the style also thanks for answering.

No, it's enough to lower the bridge, it resembles tune-o-matic

@@SteelyGlow Except when it's not.

я могу сделать но сомневаюсь комуто оно надо. тут в основном я делал гитары на британский конкурс. да и просто сейчас буду делать музыкальные видосы без озвучки вообще.

@@RomanDark думал, вдруг есть уже готовый)

yeah a little bit yeah

what an unrelated nonsense... you dummies have only pandemic in your head? If you would check my channel my first video from Jun 26, 2019. I wear a mask on public since probably 2006. This is a fashion dust mask just part of my outfit.

thanks. The action is a bit higher than my normal guitars, but surprisingly for this guitar, it was not bad and playable.

@@RomanDark Thanks for your response, I am thinking of buying one of these guitars or another one from the soviet Union.

what do you mean? it's like asking why you are wearing pans inside.

@@RomanDark pretty sure masks and pants have 2 very different purposes

@@asiancairrou6232 I don't see any difference. They are both a part of the outfit. And both hide a part of the body you don't want to show to the public.

@@RomanDark i mean true if you wanna hide your face but would be better if you wore a garter instead just sayin

@@asiancairrou6232 I don't want to hide my face. Just a part I might fix it the feature. And this is a sort of fashion dust mask. Many Korean wear it just for the way they look. And I am half Korean. I have been wearing the "ninja mouth cover" for photos for 20+ years.

have no idea what you stupid people mean by that. this my outfit since I was a kid and saw ninja movies.

I think I showed it in the video. I reused the old jack's top and put a new stereo jack there.

@@RomanDark I watched the video over and over to see the stereo output wiring . It looks like you have 3 wires going to stereo jack. I unscrewed my output connector on my Stella guitar(same guitar) and it only has 2 wires attached. I am getting mono. What 3 wires go to the output jack? I guess a ground and to signal wires from?

it was a long time ago and I don't have the guitar anymore. But as I remember the two pickups at the bridge have separate coils for the top 3 strings and bottom 3 strings. These signals go to the left and right channels. Also there an RC filters that are mixed differently to the output. I alternated the original schematic a bit to use it with stereo and mono jack.

@@RomanDark Thanks for the reply!!! That makes sense about the split coils. Probably take the wire after the panning pots out to the jack. I will take the plate off today and look at the wiring. Maybe I will get lucky and see a loose wire also. Or kind of make sense of what is going on.Found wiring schematics for non stereo guitars such as the Elgava Unika-2 and the Formanta which I also own. They are wired with 3 pins. Ground, signal, and phantom power. Often phantom is wired to ground. Phantom for power distortion circuit on Formanta for instance. Thanks again!! Take care!!

thank you. I got tons of ideas but my hotel is closed, metal fence around.. So I stopped my guitar production for now. I am gonna post more about my music here.

thank you

Didn't think about it. And my carbon fiber sheet was too thin to work on edges if we talk about rounding it. But probably you can. And if we talking about the shape it definitely can be improved by sanding. I was worried about hazardous carbon fiber dust so I didn't do much.

@@RomanDark tku, and I'm glad you call attention to carbon fiber dust being hazards in the vid,too. I *hope* other people who work with this stuff are paying attention.

Ну так себе, побаловаться если. В режиме полного стерео и если играть квинтаккорды то будет тупо в один канал. Там же стерео разделено по 3 верхних струны в один канал, три нижние в другой. Если в режиме смешивания и ручки тона накрутить экстремально то какой то стерео ширины можно добится наверное. Я сильно не эксперементировал с ней, починил и отдал.

@@RomanDark а 4 звукоснимателя тоже как-то по каналам разделены или это более чем бридж, сидо и нековый? Т.е. между бриджем и мидл есть промежуточный или наоборот- между нековым и мидл стоит дополнительный?

на сколько я помню два около бриджа имеют отдельные катушки на три врехних и три нижних струны. И все помоему. Два ближе к грифу идут просто на выход но в разные каналы можно через фильтр подмешивать. Но когда я тестировал особого эффекта не добился.

thank you, but I feel I could've practiced more... I couldn't fix all intonation issues. I would have to move the bridge. So it might sound a bit out of tune after 5th fret.

@@RomanDark I think it could bring a lot of character to power chords. And working on it would be cool, but I’d just have fun with it that way. Definitely issues on that funky stuff you did at the end and it looks like the action is high too and that always makes that stuff wonky.

thank you.

Thank you! My ghost hotel was bought by someone. And there is a fence now. So I am no longer welcome there. I need to find a new place to work… Until then, I'll probably do more music and electronics here. I want to build DIY dark glass bass distortion.

@@RomanDark haha, I did notice there were no hotel carpark background images

thanks. It was a pure experiment. And the neck still doing fine. But I mix the epoxy the way it doesn't cure as glass hard. It is strong but a little bit bendable. So you can use a truss rod and won't crack the epoxy. But we will see how it is gonna be after a few years.

@@RomanDark Yeah, I hadn't thought about stressing the epoxy. Though that truss shouldn't have to move much if it ever does.

sorry for late response. I haven't been here for a while. I think It worked. It had a weird whammy bar. But I didn't try.

It is super annoying. I always liked a gothic look. Always wore skulls and black cloths. And often wore a skeleton mask. I like how I look in mask... but now it is associated only with this stupid madness.... time to come up with new appearance maybe...
