HowieBass Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Can't help you with the bass but that painting of the baby is giving me nightmares already! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobVbass Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Looks kind of early Ibanez-y with that drop to the lower horn and 2 a side headstock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wingnutkj Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 [quote]bass identification.... what is it?[/quote] It's the act of determining the manufacturer and/or model of a bass guitar based on available evidence, but that's not important right now.

RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 (edited) Looks like an unfinished aria pro. He must be struggling with demand at the moment .

Bassassin Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 That's a [url="http://www.odysseyguitars.ca/"]Balogh Odyssey[/url]. 70s/80s hand-made Canadian thing, Flat Eric can tell you all about them, he's got two. Me, I just have GAS for one. Where is it, is it for sale, and if so, how much? I missed out on a guitar version on Edinburgh Gumtree that was up for £25. Seller thought it was cheap rubbish... Jon.

[/quote] I was in northampton for £125 and but for the fact I was away on holiday.... looked a nice bass, you could tell it was fairly high build spec just from the photo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 Still a steal for £125. I'd think in good order it's worth three times that. J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlatEric Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Ooooooooooooooooh NNNNNnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnno!!!! £125!!!!!!!! I need to lie down in a dark room!! These things are like rocking horse ****!! In the UK, there can only be a very small amount of these and considering I am always on the lookout, all the time - It is years between a sighting!! Gutted isn't the word. I have one the same as shown, in a cherry burst, which cost me a LOT more than that, an awful lot more, from someone who knew what is was. Any sniff of who got lucky, I would like to know. Just hope is wasn't bought as a cheap learner, that is going to be customised!! Oh dear, Oh dear, Oh dear!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Just in the wrong place at the wrong time, Eric. I feel your pain. Still haven't got over the £25 guitar I missed on Gumtree. J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] 'ello mate! The ones on the blog and the ones that Jon referred to - they are earlier - Badass/Dimarzio, from around 1977, as far as I can make out. The one I have the same as the one advertised, I haven't got around to doing on the blog yet. [attachment=195037:Balogh Odyssey Bass.jpg] Mine looks like this one. The one you show, seems to be the same in a Brown Burst. In Canada, where they were made, they go for around $800 - $1500. Oh well, another time, perhaps! Cheers.

EMG456 Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 (edited) Flateric you have exactly the one I'd like to find, with the chequered binding and Bartolinis in- beautiful! In the very early 80s I worked in Grant Music in Edinburgh and Glasgow. Jimmy Grant liked importing and selling nice and unusual gear and he brought a few Odesseys over so there will be a handful scattered around the central belt in Scotland. Keep looking!
