    Have to say that I'm really suprised this is still here given it's one of the Indonesian made models and it's had some very nice mods done to it... Gotta say, it makes me think of this, which is undoubtedly a good reference point (for those of us of a certain age and musical persuasion)... GLWTS 👍😊

    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! 🤦😁

    Wow, I was only thinking about this bass the other day @sambecker1. I bet it sounds glorious now with those Pino flats and new pots. As you say, the neck on this is lovely and, it definitely has an authoritative, funky character to it sonically, what with that one-piece ash body and maple neck... As I said in my for sale ad for it last year, this bass belonged to the late, great and very much-missed Nick Smith, so it has proper Basschat provenance to it... I think we can all agree that Nick knew a good bass when he played/heard one... And this lovely old, vintage Hardpuncher is definitely one of those! I'm sorry to see it up for sale again so soon, but it really is a 'players bass' that deserves to be played - so hopefully it'll find a new home on here soon. 🙏 Best of luck with the sale, Sam! 👍😊

    Great to hear this news, Paul! 🙏 You're such a creative person, it must have been torturous not being able to play and make music for so long. Look forward to hearing what happens next.. 😊👍 All the best, Nik

    Still usung my B3 regularly... Apart from the fact that it's so versatile (tuner/fx unit/drum machine for home practice/digital interface etc), it has some great sounding patches including some very good amp models. The patches I use most on it though are the compressors, in particular the DBX compressor which, in a gigging situation, is so, so useful! I bought another one on here last year so I have 2 now; one for rehearsals and gigs that's permanently packed in my accessories case, and the other just sits at home on my practice amp. For this price, this is an absolute bargain! Best of luck with the sale. 👍😊 Nik

    Amazing stuff @Gunsfreddy2003! 👌👏😊 So good to see something like this ; genuine, real and dare I say it - 'old school'. It's exactly what we need to halt the endless flood of intangible, faceless, online 'content we're all drowning in... Will definitely check it out and support. 👍

    Hi Folks, Echoing all the uber-positive feedback above for David, aka, @MungoBass, who I've just bought an Hughes and Kettner Red 5 DI/cab simulator 'thingamajig' from... .. To be honest, I've no idea what it does, or how to use it, but it's exactly as described and it looks really cool... 😆 Anyway, back on topic, David's a great person to deal with, super-quick delivery and good comms throughout.. All in all, s credit to the Basschat community! And yes, this InPost thing is really good isn't it @Owen.... 😁 Anyway, thanks again David and all the best for now! 🙏😊 Nik

    That's a very handsome looking instrument you have there @eude And the soundcloud clips - 'Old Piece' - in particular, are great! GLWTS 👍😊

    Just did a very nice deal with @petecarlton Who I can't speak highly enough about.. ... Great comms, easy to deal with and all round top Basschatter, so deal with in complete confidence, Folks! 👌😊 Thanks again Pete and I hope you enjoy the Eden head. Nik

    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! 👌👌 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. 😁 Suffice to say that you can deal with Colin in complete confidence, Folks. 👍 Thanks a lot for the Trace head Colin, and here's to the next one... 😊 Cheers, Nik

    Hi there @MungoBass, I'm interested in this - what would UK postage be on top please? Many thanks, Nik

    And just like that, suddenly there's two Odyssey basses for sale on Basschat! 😯 Absolutely stunning to see and so cool ... 😎 GLWTS (again) 👍😊

    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 👍😊

    Great review of this preamp/DI by Janek Gwizdala in this mega YouTube clip.. According to Janek, it comes out really well against some much more expensive opposition. GLWTS 👍

    Cheers Marc, And I've replied to your PM. Nik

    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. GLWTS 👍😊

    Wow- absolute bargain! Such a lot of bass for the money... GLWTS 👍😊

    Not sure when I'll be next passing your way, Russ, but if I still have this amp, then I'll be sure to get in touch... 😁 Even now, USA built Eden amps from that era are great sounding pieces of kit - so your WT-1205 must sound great!?

    Thanks Pete... 👍 All Pms replied to btw. Cheers, Nik

    Hi Folks, So, New Year, new price. Now just £50. Cheers, Nik
  24. silverfoxnik
    What an absolute bargain... A quality amp / cab for less than a half decent effects pedal! These sound so good too. GLWTS 👍😊

    Mark, aka @MarkBuffaloStokes recently bought a bass and an amp from me, in what has turned out to be yet another great Basschat transaction. I say 'great' because it involved trust, respect and patience - the kind of qualities / virtues that almost never come into play when buying /selling bass gear outside of this Forum. Long and short of it is that, after a month or so of tooing and froing, Mark now has a super-cool Ricky 4003 clone in his possession, and a glorious sounding Handbox amp. And in term of leaving feedback, all that needs to be said is that Mark's an absolute credit to the Basschat community and a great guy to deal with! And as for having access to Basschat, so that we do these deals within a trusted and safe space, all I can say is that we're a very lucky bunch of musos. 🙏 Thanks for your patience Mark, and I hope you enjoy the new bass toys that Santa brought you! 👍😊 Cheers, Nik
