AndyTravis Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 Well. This has been on the watch/want list for a while. Eventually got a deal sorted. Arrived today and I’m stunned. I’ve owned Ken Smiths, Warwick’s, Jaydees, Status’ etc and I’ve never had a bass which feels so well made. Absolutely bonkers. Sounds like a hammer too. Very very pleasing. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t think they lasted long - the company still exists and I suspect the originating factory makes the expensive Bacchus stuff (only other place I’ve seen that bridge).

dub_junkie Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 (edited) That’s a cracking looking bass! I had two Godlykes at the same time around ten years ago. I got them both from eubassix. A see thru red Disciple 5 and a fretless Deity 4. The main difference was that the Deity had a figured maple top and a set neck. Both were really great instruments. I was working my way through a lot of brands at that time and as was the way of things I moved them on. With the benefit of hindsight they would be keepers if I had them now.

Graham Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 I had GAS for one of these for some time, as Troy Sanders used a Deity on one of Mastodon's records - Crack The Sky I think, good to see one on the wild 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure I saw him using one when I saw them on the Blood Mountain tour and I'm fairly sure that was what he was used to record the album. Frankly though it is tough to keep up with the basses he uses as they change so often! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was on one of the making-of documentaries that came with the albums, I can't remember which, so could have been Blood Mountain or Crack The Sky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Relatively slim, quite flat feeling. So is the fingerboard, takes some getting used to as the jazz has quite a tight fb radius 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
