Just bought a lovely vintage Trace amp from @King Tut, aka Colin, who - apart from being a really easy and great person to deal with - happens to own two fantastic Rickenbacker 4003 basses! ππ I was on my way to a rehearsal unfortunately, so there wasn't enough time to stay longer for the obligatory 'bass chat', but I hope we can get to do that at some point in the future, because I know it'll be a lot of fun. π Suffice to say that you can deal with Colin in complete confidence, Folks. π Thanks a lot for the Trace head Colin, and here's to the next one... π Cheers, Nik

Odyssey B300 bass - rare Attila Balogh bass from the 1970s
silverfoxnik replied to emoryi's topic in Basses For Sale
Nowhere as a band, to be honest. But Eg has had a pretty stellar career since then, as artist/writer/producer. The reason I know this is that I was in a band at the time and we knew Yip Yip Coyote, went to the same gigs, clubs etc.. Plus, they were big BowWowWow fans, like my band were, so we shared common musical influences, tastes etc. I nearly bought an Odyssey bass myself back in the mid 90s (that was being advertised on Loot) , told myself I couldn't afford it, and then regretted it for months afterwards.. What a fool I was! π€¦π -

Wow - I haven't seen one of these Odyssey basses in the UK for about 30 years! IIRC, a bass player called Eg White played one of these in his first band, Yip Yip Coyote, circa 1983/4, before he went on to form Brother Beyond. Eg was a really good player and his Odyssey bass sounded incredible. A really rare bass indeed and great to see on here. .. GLWTS ππ -

Fantastic basses, and quite hard to get hold of these days... I have the 5 string version and it's excellent. The build quality on Godin basses is exceptionally good, and the tonal versatility for a passive bass is second to none - in fact the P Bass sound on my 5 string is better than the P Bass sound I used to get from my Fender Roscoe Beck five string (and that's saying something) I imagine this model, with the maple fretboard, will be even punchier aounding than mine which has a rosewood board.
