Very cool... I love that show.

But be honest here.... you wouldn't have actually bought a hideous looking bass like that had it not been fore the show, right?

Just pure hideous....which is the charm! I guess now it's "iconic" though, right? :)

Haha,thanks guys. I did get it because I am a fan of FOTC and I like Jemaine's movies too.I am not sure what brand it is,ebay sellers description just said "This is Soviet bass made at Borisov Musical Instruments Factory".

I had been looking for one since I first saw FOTC a couple of years ago and this is the first one I've seen that is just like Jemaine's.

I paid $100 for it which is alot but I've spent $100 on stupider things in the past.

Is their anywhere in the USA where I can get a 5-pin DIN adaptor or a connector so that I can make a cable? The adaptor I bought on ebay may take a month or more to get here.

IIRC, Om's bassist plays a fretless bass.
