Super tempted by a Russian Bassballs that’s just come up.
Any suggestions or tips?
How does it stack up against the NYC Doctor Q?
Have you guys had any trouble with this type of unit?
Any soundclips welcome,
much love,
Pabs.April 15, 2009 at 5:19 pm #95701nightravenMemberis this one of the newer black ones or a sovtek one?
if it’s the latter – give it to me please
i’ve always wanted a bassballs but never had the spare money to pick one up cheap but a sovtek is a cool collectible item
April 15, 2009 at 8:12 pm #95712McHavenModeratorSovtek one sounds just the same as the NY, IMO. I got lucky and got one for 13 bucks.

Canabalized a shaft put her back together and it sounds fabulous. Funny how it’s now one of my favorites…
If the Russian Bassballs sounds ANYTHING like it I’d jump all over it.

The black ones are Russian, too. I’ve got an big box black one and a green one, both mint in the box. I ordered the green one direct from EHX when they came out but was sent a black one so I guess the green ones are very limited. Picked up a green one a couple months later on ebay, I think.

July 1, 2009 at 7:26 pm #98721The EH ManModeratorI’ll see if I can get a pic tonight.
July 1, 2009 at 9:01 pm #98728nightravenMemberthanks!
i’ve never seen one beforeJuly 1, 2009 at 10:15 pm #98733The EH ManModeratorFor your amusement: the green Sovtek Bassballs
Oddly enough, it also has a stock 9v adapter jack on the back, as does the black one in the next post.
July 1, 2009 at 10:17 pm #98734The EH ManModeratorAnd here’s the 1st generation black one.
August 8, 2009 at 8:18 pm #100421TheCapitalJMemberi just got a 2nd gen one on ebay. Love it!!

Thanks.
