[quote name='kingforaday' post='597322' date='Sep 13 2009, 01:39 PM']yeah for me it ticks all the right boxes, the build quality is great, love the bridge and even the metal control knobs are just pure class. very very versatile sounding, a joy to play and is the kind of instrument that turns heads which (not that i'm that shallow...) is always nice! the only downside is the weight which gets a bit much in a 3-4 hour rehearsal but all in all it's worth it![/quote] GREAT BASSES. These are Classics in their own right. USA built, meant to last, huge sound! I use my T-40's 3 out of 4 gigs - many bass players come up for a better look. Most have never seen one but after hearing it are keen to have a go. If these had "F" "G" or "R" on the head, they would be fetching [i]big[/i] money. I just love 'em. It would be interesting to see how many members have one. Cheers. Flat Eric.

Good to have another grizzled veteran ([i]if I may be so bold[/i]) with us. All you need to know is that 'Off Topic' is where the really naughty boys hang out All power to your low end thump Skank[/quote] Hi. Thanks for the welcome. More jargon to deal with. What is "off topic" Is there part of this site that tells you how it all works? Cheers.

[color="#0000FF"][/color] Hi to all out there. Very new to this, not really sure how it all works but the sooner I start, the better. I joined this week as I have a 70's Canadian Odyssey Bass and up to this week, I had never seen another one. Very pleased to see it. I have been playing guitar and bass for around 35 years and am currently in a 70's Rock and Blues band. I have Peavey T-40's and T-60's, Aria, Ibanez, Fender, Greco, Gibson, Guild, Ovation and a couple of one offs, mainly using the old Peavey's, which I love to bits. I look forward to learning more about this site and more about the instrument we all love. Cheers Flat Eric.

Hi. New to this game - always visiting but never joined. Saw the post about Odyssey bass and just had to join up. I have one of these and for ages I have been trying to find someone else with one, I was starting to think that mine was unique to the UK. I even contacted a guy in Vancouver, where they were made, who worked closely with Attila - Mike Kinal and he said not many made it over here. At last I have found another one. Stunning bass, great sound, our guitarists favourite. Very pleased to have found you.
