For sale is my Overwater Inspiration 5 string bass. This was made at Overwater UK by Chris May & the team, the Inspiration series were made in small batches (rather than custom order) to a price point with fewer options than the Progess (particular with regards to woods available etc - pickups & hardware etc are the same as any UK Overwater), so that it could be sold cheaper than the Custom Progress basses - a similar idea to the first Japanese MetroExpress basses that Sadowsky Japan did Make no mistake though, this is absolutely still a handmade Boutique bass and absolutely sounds and plays like one too. It is in very good condition, comes with a branded overwater hard case and also with a leather DSLR branded strap that has Schaller strap locks on to fit the bass. It has an Ash body with Flamed maple top, maple neck & maple fretboard, and proprietary Overwater pickups & 3B preamp with push/pull active/passive switching This bass plays absolutely amazingly well as you’d expect and sounds fantastic - full, clear tone which can fit into anything. The neck is amazingly comfortable, thunderous low B with piano like clarity from bottom to top Year - 2015 Colour - Natural Body Finish - Gloss Body Wood - Ash w/ Flame Maple facing Neck Finish - Satin Neck Wood - Maple Fretboard - Maple Frets - 24 Scale Length - 35" Weight - 9lbs13oz I paid £1375 for this a couple of months ago and have used it for a few gigs but I am really using my active Lakland 55/AJ a lot more for the gigs I’m doing, and cannot afford to have this sort of money tied up in a bass that’s not being used all the time: I’ve seen something else I want so I have put this up for sale at very good price - it’s priced to sell (and any trade would have to take that into account when valuing their own bass) Im looking for a sale really, however trade or PX may be possible (5st only) for the right thing, but not particularly likely. I’ve taken a hit on it - it’s in excellent condition and someone will genuinely get a bargain here Price is £1150 - located in County Durham, delivery can be arranged

Yeah, you might be right, how do I edit it and what's the real value? I was sure it's made in USA and it doesn't show up on the database because it's from the 80s.

As new Genzler ‘Magellan Pre’ with box. 3 band preamp (with parametric mids), HPF & DI with A/B contour channel changeable by footswitch & set by dial. Same preamp and contours as is on the Genzler Magellan amp heads Channel A = Modern,mid scoop/Hi & Low Boost - sounds excellent for funk, R&B, slap, pop and many other styles and manages to have a mid scoop eq’d that doesn’t get lost in the mix! Channel B = Vintage, roll off highs & high mids, low mid boost and cut the ultra lows giving a really nice sound for more old school music - again can bet set from flat to subtle through to max - it’s very hard to get a a bad sound from the pedal, super transparent and very musical EQ & contours Check out the videos below for some idea of the sounds, but if you like a clear transparent preamp you won’t get a much better sound than this, and the switchable contours are some proper ‘tone magic’ Genzler Magellan Preamp/DI Pedal Features: Wide Range Input Circuitry Input and Master Volume Controls Variable High Pass Filter Switchable Dual Contours (A & B) Independent Contour Controls Same Magellan 3 Band EQ w/Sweepable Mids Signal mute Preamp Output—Capable of driving a Separate Power Amp Aux Input Headphone Output Studio Quality Direct Out Circuitry w/Pre or Post and GND Lift Lightweight Aluminum Chassis Construction Operates on any Power Supply Voltage: 9 – 18VDC, either Polarity (power supply not included) Dimensions: 6” (152mm) W x 4.3” (110mm ) D (w/ jacks) x 2.5” (63mm) H (w/ knobs and feet) Weight: 1.1 lb (0.5kg) Bought recently from Bass Direct for a fair bit more than the asking price so grab a bargain - has box and instructions Price = £165 with UK Shipping DEMO VIDS:
