Hi, a couple of questions… does the truss rod turn freely in both directions, and what are the dark marks by the fretboard in the 10th photo?

 

Thanks, Ed

Hi Ed,

The dark marks are where some of the clear finish has com off and constant rubbing of the hand when playing over the years ahs left the dark patina. Truss rod works fine in both directions..

Well - I know Mr650 has a matching jazz to this…and it would thrill me for him to have the “pair”.

 

I was keeping quiet…that’s changed in the last hour 😂😂😂

No worries Andy, they are great basses...

Hi, yes I hope I have priced it fairly

Thats a very fair price for it, sold mine over a year ago for a lot less and was sorry to let it go 🥲

Had one and sold it , what was I thinking 🥲, great basses GLWTS

Matt bought a bass off me, very prompt payment and always a gentleman to deal with, a credit to Basschat

Thanks Matt

I have had a few Vintage fenders, both Jazz and Precisions and changed the pots out and absolutly no difference providing they are of good quality. The sound comes from the pickups and the player's hand, thats it ...

Good question, must check when I'm back home after work

SOLD 

This started out life as a Harley Benton 3 tone sunburst which I have heavily modded

Pots have been changed out.new 2 saddle bridge

I have used 2 different nitro colours on the body to give it that aged yellowish 2 tone look

Headstock reshaped and Fender decal added

Has plenty of minor chips about the body

The strings are fairly new with plenty of life

No fret wear

Chunky neck that has been sprayed antique nitro

Weight is 4.3 kg's

This has cost me a lot more than the asking price plus time spent on it but was a nice project

asking £120 plus free UK delivery

I will have these please...

This is a Fender neck plate and they line up OK

This is just a fit for my body so no gurantee that they will line up for you

That looks rather nice. 

I'm a bit of a fan of B&B necks...

Not played a Northwest neck before - though I gather they have quite a good reputation?

I had it on an old Gherson bass and it required no set up whatsoever when installed, very good quality for the price

SOLD PENDING

I bought this earlier on in the year for my jazz project, it was fitted but I have since foound a vintage neck which I have been after for quite a while

hence the sale, Northwest Guitars

In as new condition with fitted Wilkinson tuners and finished in a high gloss, Decal has not beed sprayed over so easily removed if you so wish

We're not as good at building up our brands and them creating brand equity as our US cousins? 

Some of the US brands also has a very distinctive core tone, if you want a Sadowsky sound you probably need a Sadowsky. If you want the Ken Smith thing, buy a Ken smith etc...

With the exception of Status and Wal a lot of our builders make instruments less focused on their core tone thing. Gus I guess unmatched visually.
I think that makes it a harder sell to get brand equity... Every single Overwater I've played and heard has been an amazing professional level instrument - and with a tone that could sit anywhere in any genre. I guess that's why so many pro players use them... but that tone that could sit anywhere also means it doesn't stand out as much? 
(I dunno, that's my theory, maybe I'm just annoyed I didn't buy that Overwater @briansbrew was selling last week?  )

I know, funny how you get regrets after selling a great bass, my loss I suppose. Agree with your comments @LukeFRC
