My Cruise bass.  Yummy.

 

I was thinking about moving this one on, but it's just too nice.

That one is lovely 

Hi, I got this Hamer Chaparral 1991 last year and it's a very good bass.  I'm not playing out much so I haven't tried it yet with a band.  The pickups are not original, it was like this when I got it.

Yes, a Kramer era NS2A.

Thank you 👍

Hello guys, 

Can you identify the red Spector on the picture?  Is this a NS-2a ?

It has PJ pickups.

Thanks! This is great, I will definitely check out more music from these.

Now on Reverb?

Wow! Congrats, amazing figuring in the neck. 

I should have taken screenshots 😐

Does the link from the original post still work for you? Doesn't work for me anymore.

If I may offer a tip from a long time Jack Casady player - get a stretchy wrist sweat band but pull it up your arm to where your arm meets the edge of the body. Looks ridiculous, but worth it for the improved comfort

 

Hi, thank you for the advice, I’ll remember that next time I will use it on a gig 👍

That's a cool looking Fender, I am kind of familiar with a version like this. I have this Tokai Hardpuncher from the 80´s that looks very much alike  

It doesn't have any contour where my forearm rests so it can be a little uncomfortable to play because of the sharp edge of the body.

The neck is quite the baseball bat also but I like it

Ahh.... I see what you mean. The original one I posted was a Tokia with a Blade neck!

Yes  

Sorry for the zombie resurrection  I saw this on Reverb also the other day, this must be a Tokai body with a Blade neck, it looks just like the Tokai VSB-60 limited edition from the 80's.

I have never seen any Blade like this before.

Looks great! Reminds me much of the Stenback bass of Paul Turner (Jamiroquai)

@Doctor J Wow! All are exceptional looking to me. Love the Blade  

@lucatus TRB 5P has always been in my mind as a bass I want to own one day.  Yours looks great!

Fine looking rig, and that Gibson is really cool, I have been wanting to try one like that but they are scarce where I am. 

Oh that is nice! Congrats 🥳

Hi, here's a photo of my four cheap basses. L-R: Tokai Hardpuncher ltd., Spector Rebop 5, Harley Benton HBZ 2005 Deluxe, Blade B3 rescued bass.

I just recently bought the Spector and am liking it so far.  The Harley Benton will be sold soon as I don't need two 5 stringers, but it's a good bass for the money.  

The Blade was accidentally broken to pieces many years ago but my father glued it together again and painted it.  I lost the original pickups and electronics so it is now passive with Dimarzio pickups and an old unknown bridge.

These have been on my "wanted" list since the 90's.  Aren't the wonderful basses?  I sure wish I could buy  (but I can't)

John Taylor of Duran Duran, very funky bass lines and always sounds good

I had a fretted version just like this one.  Absolutely wonderful bass, I would recommend it  

Chris May came through with a swift answer for my question, the bass is an 'Artisan' model from the mid 80's, so about 30 years old. Fretless and 34" scale.

I'm not sure if I will pursue it further, I have never had a fretless bass but have always been interested. I will just have to figure out what is a fair price for a bass like this and go from there. Might need to sell my Trace Elliot combo to help finance this

Cheers,

Thanks fellow basschatters for the replys I'll see if I can get better photos to e-mail Overwater directly

Hi there,

what can you guys and girls tell me about this Overwater bass that is being sold locally (in Iceland)?

It seems to be an old fretless Overwater C bass from what I reckon. Were all of them extra long scale? I have seen info about them being 36" scale.

I was having trouble seeing info about recent prices for those, do you have any idea?

thanks,
z
