Odyssey Bass

[forrest]

Is any one familiar with this make of Bass. I have one with neck through
body (Maple Body) design. It's a beautiful bass and I am a guitarist so I am thinking of selling it. Any info would be helpful. Thanks

You mean the Greek made basses (from 90's till now) or the Canadian made ones (early 80's made, defunct now)?

I remember them from just after I started playing bass, circa '77. They were made in Vancouver and were fairly expensive for the time (at least they seemed expensive to a 13 year old...), like around $1200. One of my friends has a custom Odyssey 6 string bass, tuned and spaced like a guitar, fretted up to the 12th fret and fretless above. It's odd...

I believe they were mainly made by Attila, who eventually made Ayotte drums and died in a tragic shop accident around '87.

No idea what kind of money they'd be worth, though I can't imagine there's a whole lot of demand for them. I don't think they were around for too long, maybe 5 years or so.
