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! 🤦😁 -

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!?

£75 Roland Bass Cube 100. £75Collected. - *SOLD*
silverfoxnik replied to Pestie's topic in Amps and Cabs For Sale
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

Beautiful bass, Keith! I had a play on it last year when I visited you to buy the Roland Bass Cube and it was fabulous 5 string to play; very comfortable and fast neck, excellent range of sounds/ tones and having that passive tone control and option is so helpful if, like me, you prefer that 'old-school' vibe. And on that point, the 'old-violin' finish is even better in the flesh, so to speak.... I know it's a bit of a Basschat cliche to say, but if I didn't have two 5 string basses already, this would be heading my way - especially at this price. 😁 Anyway, Happy New Year to you Keith and best of luck with the sale! 👍😊 Cheers, Nik -
Gorgeous! GLWTS.... 👍 -
Gigging tonight, so before I forget...
Wishing the Basschat community a very Happy New Year and all the best for 2026!
Nik ☺️🥂🎶🎸🎶

It Was 20 Years Ago Today ... Revisited
silverfoxnik replied to Happy Jack's topic in General Discussion
Great story, Jack, and Happy 20th Bass Birthday ! 🍻🎸🎶🥂 It's almost a 'Happy Jack, Lord of the Strings - or there and back again' kind of epic tale... Just goes to show why - when it gets under your skin - music, playing bass and this place, can become so all-consuming and life changing. Ronaldo says he's going to retire when he gets to a 1000 career goals, but compared to your gigging ambitions Jack, he's clearly a bit of a lightweight!! 😁 -
Yes, all good thanks, Gareth! 🙏😊 -
Merry Christmas Folks!
Hope you have a great day with your nearest and dearest...
🎄🎅☺️🎶

Agree with all the comments above; sad news, especially at Christmas time. RIP 😞 And condolences to his family. IMO, he was very much one of the people, if that's not too trite a thing to say. We used to do this one in our set, which I always enjoyed...
