    Description

    Semi Acoustic Bass Guitar is manufactured in the late 60s of the last century by the ORFEUS , located in the town of  Kazanlak, titled "Djipson bass". (Pronounce it as "Gibson-Bass"!) The body is made from a molded three-layer fir plywood, reinforced with a pair of longitudinal springs under the upper deck. Beech three-part neck attached to the body by four screws. Painted in black beech, fingerboard  has no radius and marked with small plastic pillboxes on the 5th, 7th and 12th frets. Bullet-shaped nut adjustment knob under the anchor withdrawn at the end of the neck. The body is painted in black and red burst, decorated with a single layer of white piping.
    Bridge, unattached on the body, mounted on two supports to regulate the height of the strings, and the cage with seats made of plexiglass, moving to, you can change the intonation of each string individually. Schematic diagram of the guitar unexpectedly simple: two single pickups in metal cases with the possibility of adjusting the height, two volume controls, and the overall tone with DIN-5 output.
    At the sound, as is typical for short scale (780 mm) Bass, Mid prevail, and whimsical scheme of fastening strings and an abundance of plastic in the bridge that can reduce sustain, and attack, but still has a pretty interesting vintage sound from the 60's.
