Bump for a cracking bass...any love for an Overwater?

Up for sale is my amazing (and still very new) Overwater "Classic looking" Hybrid Jazz. This bass is beyond amazing in both sound and feel, and if I didn't already have a number one, this would be it!! Due to some major work needed at home, I have to let this one go!!
Built in 2016 and delivered December 2016, this has a few modifications from the regular spec hybrid J that make it an amazing bass to play.
In immaculate condition having only been on a few gigs and used in the studio for recording...it truly even still smells new!!!
A bass at this spec would come in at £3500+ so this really is a great price for an instrument of this calibre...grab it while it's still here!!

If this was 34" I'd snap it up in a heartbeat...cracking bass and great price. Good luck with the sale!!

Thanks for the info Chris...sounds like you might just hang on to it anyway.
I'll have a think but I'm already a '83 Squire Jazz over my limit at the moment 😉
Good luck whatever you decide to do.

That looks lovely. How does the neck depth compare to that of your other jazz fretless?
What is the weight overall and how is the balance on a strap?

That's almost the exact bass I'm looking for...shame it's not black with the Almico 5s!! Good luck with the sale 😄

Thanks Telebass...Good to know

Has anyone tried a Peterson StroboStomp? - http://www.petersontuners.com/index.cfm?category=2
They look great but could they end up being too fiddly trying to get the various elements of the display to stop moving...?

That does tick the boxes doesn't it? Good spot, on my list it goes

No blocks though...That is one of the reasons I'm holding out to spec my own. Still blooming tempting though....

Hi Pete,

Have you seen this Sandberg at Bass Direct...
http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/Sandberg_TT5_Creme.html
I'm seriously tempted but my ideal spec is black with a tort or parchment scratchplate and Sandberg Alnico 5s. For £600 less I could go for this one though!!
I'm currently playing a Shuker Jazz with Aaron Armstrong Dual Coils (check the spec [url="http://tiernangodel.co.uk/blog/2014/02/11/shuker-jazz-bass/"]here[/url]) and it sound amazing...I could say that I don't really need another but to get that vintage vibe, I'd really like a Sandberg. Fenders JBs haven't really done it for me...not with frets anyway.

Good luck with your search

That looks a fantastic bass Curtis. If I had the money, I'd be seriously tempted!!
Buy with confidence guys...MCRuiz is a serious player and great guy to deal with. I'm sure this is an awesome bass!!
