Overwater Perception Pro Deluxe 5 - Sold, Sold, Sold
molan replied to molan's topic in Basses For Sale
[quote name='OutToPlayJazz' post='485569' date='May 12 2009, 08:18 AM']Hey Barrie, if I had a spare grand knocking around at the moment I'd rip your arm off for this one. But as it is, best of luck with the sale, mate.[/quote] If you had a spare grand you wouldn't have to do any ripping, I'd just give it to you [quote name='Golchen' post='485636' date='May 12 2009, 09:41 AM']Awesome looking bass and a great price![/quote] I did negotiate pretty hard when I bought it so just passing on the fruits of my labours to my chums here at BC -
[quote name='Larmer' post='485389' date='May 11 2009, 10:26 PM']Overseas shipping? I have a sunburst Ex-Factor and would love to own another one. If I'm not mistaken, the regular Factors have 34" instead of the 32" of the Ex-Factor.[/quote] Yep - the Key factor is a 34" very nice bass to play, super slim neck & buckets of versatility!

Overwater Perception Pro Deluxe 5 - Sold, Sold, Sold
molan replied to molan's topic in Basses For Sale
I've offered this to a fellow BC'er at £895 and thought I ought to extend this price to anyone else who might be interested. It won't go any lower than this though as anything more would be a bit crazy & I'll just hang on to it as I'm not that desperate for cash Not looking for trades on anything I'm afraid. -

Some other pics I found lying around Not taken by me I'm afraid (he said trying to make excuses for the slightly odd framing!) Hopefully they show that it looks totally unplayed with not a mark anywhere on the front or back of the body (the white specks on the last pic are from a cleaning cloth I think). -
This is a particularly nice Overwater Perception that I bought earlier this year but it's kinda 'surplus to requirements' now that I've become a bit of a Spector freak & it seems a shame that it's not being played. I think it's just over a year old & originally cost a shade under £2K - the Pro Deluxe model is currently listing at £1,995 so you could save over £1,000 on the new price for a bass that genuinely looks like it's just left the shop It has a beautiful cocobola top which helps to give it a really 'dark' growly tone. Lots of flexibility from the 3 band on-board pre as well. Nice low action with 19mm spacing and a 35" scale for a really tight B sound. Nick (oldhorsemurphy) currently has this on loan so happy for anyone to ask his opinion of it - especially as I know he's used it in a band situation & I've only played it at home plus one quiet rehearsal. Product Specifications are: Body: Central American Mahogany Top/Colour: Cocobolo Neck: 3 Piece Maple Fretboard: Indian Rosewood Bridge: OW Bridge Machineheads: Gotoh Pick Ups: OW5 Soapbar Preamp: OW 3 Band EQ Here's the pics from Overwater's site:

It's a good job I do this for fun and not money!

[quote name='OldGit' post='483099' date='May 8 2009, 04:49 PM']A pub gig, £250 AND a free beer? That's outstanding.[/quote] Actually I think it might have been £300 as some cash was kept back towards rehearsal costs, lol. The staff were super friendly and said we were much better than their usual bands, they said they'd tell the manager to book us again Not sure how happy our male lead singer was as he plays at the same place with a different outfit -

[quote name='OldGit' post='482763' date='May 8 2009, 10:26 AM']Ha ha there speaks a man used to playing functions.... £250 is great money for a pub band ....[/quote] Too true, lol. Actually I really enjoy playing in pubs. We tipped up last night about 7:15 and all set up by 8:00. First beer on the house from the management & on stage by 9:00. First set about 45 mins, 15 min break & back for about an hour. Then packed up & out the door before 12:00. Last wedding I played payed out 4 times as much but we had to be there by 12 lunchtime and couldn't even start packing until gone midnight. -
Great news. You'll have to keep us posted when the gigs start

Played a fun gig this evening for which we were paid the princely sum of £250. This was shared between 8 of us (7 in the band plus the ever attentive sound man) and we held some back towards the rehearsal kitty. I bought a, small, round for a couple of the band plus an after gig beer for myself & worked out I had the net figure of about a fiver for the night. I have to say that this doesn't really bother me a bit, it really was a fun evening and I can't imagine a better way to spend a dull Thursday than with some really good friends playing music for an appreciative audience

Bought an EBS pedal from Lee - super easy to deal with and a really nice chap Pedal looks like new

Ever been asked for "that classic Precision sound"?
molan replied to OutToPlayJazz's topic in Bass Guitars
I was once asked at an audition if I had something that just looked like a Precision (they didn't care what it sounded like!) Mind you - they even compromised by asking for something that simply looked like a bass - my Zon VB4 didn't appear to qualify on this level -
Forgot to say - from a purely personal perspective - I think there's a lot of 'tosh' said about keeping your pre-gain input as high as possible & setting it just below clipping level. In a real world gigging situation you'll have plenty of gain on most pre's at around a half way setting & can simply use the master gain for overall volume (unless you have a very low output passive bass).

[quote name='OutToPlayJazz' post='466840' date='Apr 19 2009, 05:37 PM']Noooo! You can't sell the MTD. That's the Barrie-Bass, that is! - Well, only to me [/quote] I do really like the MTD, it would be the last one to go if I do hit the sales trail. I really need to get the Ampeg & Eden heads serviced as they will cover the cost of the latest Spector -

[quote name='Old Horse Murphy' post='466824' date='Apr 19 2009, 05:16 PM']Does that mean I get to hang on to the Overwater a bit longer then Barrie? I'm really pleased for you. I had one of those Epiphany (maybe that should be Epifani?) moments last night too. Playing my Fender P bass through the Shuttle 6 and UL212 with a powered foldback monitor running off the amp. Wow!! Makes me wonder what the Hell I've been wasting my time with over the last few years. The sound was the sound I've been looking for all this time and probably had, but just not been able to hear it myself. We've got a new drummer who is amazing and I think that makes a huge difference as well.[/quote] Absolutely, lol. Great news on the drummer Nick. I usually have a little bass in the monitors but not a great deal. One of the nice things about the twin Bergs is that when they are stacked the upper cab is pretty high, about hip level I guess, so it works well as a monitor (especially if you dial the tweeter in). -

[quote name='OutToPlayJazz' post='466817' date='Apr 19 2009, 05:02 PM']Congrats Barrie, glad you're all sorted now So all those Overwaters and Zon basses will be for sale soon, then? Good feeling, ain't it mate? Rich.[/quote] It's very difficult but it does rather look like they should go as they aren't going to get played very much Maybe the MTD too It is great that I've settled on something though - really pleased with the sound last night, best I've ever had & gave me so much more confidence - hooray!!
