He’s originally from Croatia but moved to Alabama in the late 60s when his father had to dodge a local loan shark.But he’s from Alabama. Lots of fantasy down here. I think it’s the water.

I have seen a lot of Pacific Rim manufacturers. Many supply importers who put a name on them in this manner. The decal or silkscreen is the cheap way to go. Usually when you start seeing an inlay of a logo, however strange you are getting closer to an actual manufacturer.
I want to see the rest? Is it for sale?
This was the "bottom of the line" basic Odyssey bought new in '78
Definitely an Attila Balogh bass. I know because I used to own that exact same bass. It is NOT an Odyssey model, but definitely Balogh.
Mine played like a million bucks. It also weighed over 11 pounds. But it was a beautiful bass.
I sold mine about 5 years ago for 200 bucks, to the bass player for Johnny Reid - Wikipedia. He was much younger and stronger than I
I should also note that while I have seen a number of Balogh basses over the years, yours is the only one I have seen that looks exactly like the one I had. Almost makes me wonder if it's my old bass.

Atilla the Funk. He sure took his styling cues from the Japanese stuff of the times. And yeah, stay off ladders as much as you can. Bad things can happen.
Sad indeed.
But how do you somehow get hit by a sander when you're on a ladder late at night? You pick any 2 of those and you'll be a goner. Just saying, a warning for the young folks.
So I purchased the Odyssey book mentioned by Hawk 400 in a previous post. It is a pretty good read and an interesting look into the Vancouver music scene in the 70's and early 80's. Lots of names you will recognize.
For under $10 on Kobo it was well worth it. Information about Attila Balough has always been a bit hard to come by and it is nice to see someone has taken the time and effort to preserve the history.

Speaking of Paul Iverson, here he is when he was a young musician. He was bassist for Strange Advance, appearing on their debut Worlds Away, before having some sort of falling out with the rest of the band. He apparently ended up suing them over royalties.
I wonder if guitarist Darryl Kromm's mutant Explorer/Ibanez Iceman mashup guitar was one of Iverson's creations.
