Hey everyone. Up for grabs is my Mustang. Bought 9 months ago and still has the scratch plate film left on. There is the smallest ding on the back side and another indentation on the scratch plate, next the the truss screw. Both are barely visible. I'm trying to raise some funds for another bass, most probably full scale J+P with an active option. (Disclaimer) I wanted to try new sounds out in the studio and bought some nylon wound strings. I think they are amazing, but in the process, realised the action needed to be raised. I then. with my limited knowledge, began messing with the set up and managed to wearout the threads on the low E Bridge screw. I mean, I got the sound I wanted and the action, but the screw needs replacing and the bass could probably benefit from a proper set up. I will include a fender soft case and the original strings, as well as a set of flatwounds. Let me know if you fancy a play. I've brought down the markbass combo into the garden, so can accommodate a safer try out of the bass. Cheers Phil

Cheers bud. Are you still in Carlisle?

Hey all. Up for sale is my 5 string J bass by Overwater. You will have to forgive me, I'm not 100% clued up on the techy aspect of this bass. I will do my best to describe it in detail. However, here is the link to the J series web page, if I miss something out. [url="http://www.overwaterbasses.com/j-series.htm"]http://www.overwaterbasses.com/j-series.htm[/url] Ok.... It's a 35 inch scale, swamp ash body, rosewood fingerboard, Bartolini Pickups, 2 band EQ and a full spectrum sweep + level, Active on/off switch and Hipshot pegs. Reason for Selling.... Impulse buy. I needed a bass quickly for a scary gig depping for Damon from Ocean Colour Scene. Was using a rubbish squire copy with gaffa holding bits together. I live in Carlisle, where they are built. I got the call, 2 days to learn the tunes and find a decent bass that would make an impression. Looked everywhere for a Jazz or P bass, then remembered Overwater at the jam factory. I went down had a chat and then chose my wood and bits and pieces. They built it in 2 days and I must say, it was too good for me, and it still is. Arrived at the HMV forum in London, waiting for sound check, in walks Damon, gutted!!!! He made it back in time to play the gig. I'm then left with a bass that is far too good for me. My girlfriend and I are expecting a baby in May. I'm selling my drum kit, cymbals and bass + a couple of amps. I'm keeping the essentials. So, with regret, I am selling this beautifull bass. ........................................................................................ I've used it to gig and record for a year now. What can I say? It's amazing. I record straight into the desk with it, no pre-amp, no messing. It's pure, loud and clean. It's got massive balls. It's a beast. It's fairly heavy. The neck is wider than I thought it would be and it took me a while to get used to it. It's unforgiving. It shows up how terrible I am on the bass ;-) I don't need it for what I do anymore. I would keep it just incase but man, baby stuff is expensive!! So, maybe one of you guys would like to have it? ........................................................................................ I paid £2150 for it. It has a few dings (one on the neck, 2 on the body front and felt dings on the back) which I have photographed. Nothing too distracting. It works amazingly, as new I guess, apart from the few small dings. I'd be really happy if someone chucked me £1600 for it. It's going up on ebay also so feel free to follow it on there. Anyway, I'm based up in Carlisle but gig in Manchester often so, if anyone fancies it, we can hook up and you can see if you like the way it plays. Cheers Phil
