[Bass of the Week] Zamechatelny Bass

See Егор’s business listing here

Yet another unnamed bass arrived at featureme@bestbassgear.com, with the word “zamechatelny” in the message as you’ll see below. What does that mean? I have absolutely no idea, but it sounds cool. (It is assumed the writer is Russian since his email address ended in .ru even though he wrote his email in English, but I can’t be sure.)
