[quote name='tayste_2000' post='636609' date='Oct 26 2009, 12:43 AM']That is super nice, any pics of your other Overwater? I own a Progress and an Evolution, hoping to get another Evolution soon, but think I'd prefer another 36inch scale over the 35.[/quote] Indeed it is. I'm sure I've got some somewhere - I'll have a look... Why do you find the 36" better? [quote name='Stingray5' post='636653' date='Oct 26 2009, 04:10 AM']Yep, that's one seriously nice looking bass. The matching pickup covers really set it off. Your patience has definitely been well rewarded! [/quote] Glad you like it - yeah the pickups were a bit of a last minute decision but add so much. It's a good job I have the patience of a saint [quote name='pantherairsoft' post='637101' date='Oct 26 2009, 06:34 PM']Awesome... love it, and I usually avoid Red like the plague! Already planning my second OW and each new one I see makes me realise why I wouldn't pay for anything else[/quote] I almost changed my mind and went for a trans black instead but the red and maple combination is stunning, so I'm glad I went with my first instinct... It is exceptionally high quality and the attention to detail is superb - I have no hesitation in recommending Overwater to anybody

Thanks for all the really postive comments guys, I really appreciate it Tell you what, it makes it really tough to choose which bass to take to the gig - I went for the fretless tonight (bit of a Buble set) but will be using the Evo at rehersal tomorrow morning...

[quote name='niceguyhomer' post='635083' date='Oct 24 2009, 08:10 AM']Nicest OW I've ever seen - congrats [/quote] [quote name='OutToPlayJazz' post='635093' date='Oct 24 2009, 09:11 AM']Congrats! Lovely looking bass you have there [/quote] Thanks guys - she's very special. I had quite a wait, but it was well worth it. My photography skills do not do her justice - in the flesh (wood) she really is stunning

[quote name='steve-soar' post='634956' date='Oct 23 2009, 11:22 PM']Cor!!![/quote] Indeed - she plays beautifully and sounds awesome too, already done a couple of gigs and had superb feedback from the guys in both bands...

[quote name='FLoydElgar' post='628714' date='Oct 17 2009, 01:48 PM']Nice man post a couple of pics and spec Cheers, Floyd[/quote] Finally managed to get some pics - see them [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=64410"]here[/url]

Hi Guys Spec is as follows: Evolution Custom 5 string (fretted - 35" scale length) Body: Central American Mahogany with a flamed Sycamore top (with matching headstock) Neck: 3 piece Maple with a Birdseye Maple board (matching truss rod cover - side dots only not marks on board - 26 frets) Hardware: Black - Hipshot ultralite tuners, Hipshot individual saddles (option for through body stringing too) Electronics: OW BMT 3 band preamp - OW5 pickups (matching wood covers) Strings: currently OW nickels but planning on some DR black beauties in the not too distant future For those who wanted to see some pics here she is...

I've got a couple of eno - ET-3000's (approx £15 a piece if memory serves) and have had no issues - very handy for 'silent' tuning whilst the MD addresses the audience. The low B sometimes needs a moment to settle but other than that they're great

[quote name='FLoydElgar' post='628714' date='Oct 17 2009, 01:48 PM']Nice man post a couple of pics and spec Cheers, Floyd[/quote] Camera is currently at work but will put some pics up next week... Spec as follows: Evolution 5 string (fretted - 35" scale length) Body: Central American Mahogany with a flamed Sycamore top (with matching headstock) Neck: 3 piece Maple with a Birdseye Maple board (matching truss rod cover - side dots only not marks on board - 26 frets) Hardware: Black - Hipshot ultralite tuners, Hipshot individual saddles (option for through body stringing too) Electronics: OW BMT 3 band preamp - OW5 pickups (wood covers) Strings: currently OW nickels but planning on some DR black beauties in the not too distant future

I saw this in the flesh (wood) when I was up in Carlisle a couple of weeks back collecting my new Overwater - a stunning piece of work Chris and the guys really know their stuff, great guys too... enjoy

Live and Let Die - Guns and Roses - great track and reminds me of the witchdoctor scene in the Bond film

[quote name='lee650' post='548396' date='Jul 22 2009, 11:11 PM']Where are you doing this show mate, i played it a couple of years ago. used my warwick. but if i did it again id use my musicman, is it the osaltwhistle production? in which case ill say hello ( a mate of mines wife,s in it) could be way off the mark, but just to say a jazz is a great choice- all the best - lee[/quote] Hi Lee Sorry mate you missed it, the show was a couple of weeks ago in Southport - it all in all went really well the cast worked so hard the energy on stage was superb, it really could have been a pro show, the cast were that good. My new 75RI jazz (strung with TI flats) and the Compact sounded great, had some good comments from the cast and some of the guys in my big band who came to see the show made a point of saying how good the bass sounded which was nice... Cheers John

Looking good - I've been tempted to go on the course myself for a couple of years now but haven't got round to it yet, maybe next year... Keep up the good work - there must be a great sense of achievement in doing this

been busy so not checked in for a while, it's looking good... do you get a free pizza with every track recorded

you're stood in the bar after the show and the only people who talk to you are members of your family and the barman as you order another pint...

[quote name='Rimskidog' post='518950' date='Jun 19 2009, 11:06 PM']It overran by about 3 months and £40k![/quote] Ouch - I'm guessing it's a case of I've started so I'll finish - I'm sure it will be well worth it in the end

I like the shot of the floor makes it look huge Thanks again for the thread and the constant steam of photo updates - what's the project timescale for getting it totally finished?

[quote name='escholl' post='517955' date='Jun 18 2009, 11:00 PM']ah, looking brilliant. this is seriously one of the best build threads ever. [/quote] +1
