I have found no information on the internet about these "Odessa Bass guitars". I am new to bass and I am getting my first bass soon. I am going to meet up with someone to look at their second hand "Odessa Bass"(valued at $150, but I can bargain it down). I have attached some images and It would be very helpful if someone could point anything out that I should check when I try the bass in a few days. Thanks :^) {} {} {}
Check to see if the neck is straight. If it's bowed, it MUST have a working truss rod to fix that. If it is twisted, pass. Electronics issues are usually easy fixes. Neck issues are the big problems.
