    Ready to pull the trigger on a Behringer Odyssey for funky basses.
    As far as I can tell it's the best sounding option, and visually I love it as an object though I'm not sure how comfortable I'll be with sliders vs knobs.

    The 2 obvious alternatives I was considering were :

    - Bass Station 2 mostly (presets, slightly cheaper, possibly more versatile, a third of the Odyssey's weight)

    - Poly D (minimoog on a budget)

    Curious to hear about any experience you guys might have with these

    • The Moog Minitaur would be another option in that price range. Definitely can get into funk territory.mort_
    • The Minitaur does sound perfect, maybe even more so than the Odyssey, but i need keys on this one (long story)spl33nidoru
    • You might find a used Moog Grandmother for not too much more.mort_
    • Behringer - shitty company using cheap components and their gear has a poor resale value.mort_
    • Korg Odyssey is another great option. Scaled down a bit - saves space.
      Has keys. Built well and sounds amazing      futurefood
    • Thanks mort_, further research seems to point to detuning issues with the Behringer... sucks.spl33nidoru
    • Thanks future, I remember these going for more $ but maybe that's not the case anymore, will check!spl33nidoru
    • The regular Model D would be better for basses, imo. You don't need the extra voices. Check out the Pro-1 too.section_014
    • ^ keyboard is a requirementmort_
    • Think I'm going with the Bass Station for full keys + presets, to which I might add a Minitaur later on. Thanks for the input guys!spl33nidoru
    • not be a gear snob but behringer can go fuck themselves. apart from their shitty quality control, their whole approach to the industry is parasitic and I justautoflavour
    • can't justify supporting them. Moog Minitaur is an amazing machine, better yet the sub37autoflavour
