  1. She's the one and only bass minx, oh yes she is. x
  2. I used this bass on a gig for the first time in months on Friday night and it was a dream to play. El bumpo!
  3. Yes, beautiful to look at and to play. Come and try it out!
  4. Thanks chaps. Would prefer not to sell it to be honest. It's a very nice bass to own. Maybe if it keeps NOT SELLING for long enough I'll be able to raise the money to buy my gf's lovely P bass from other sources!

    MARK BASS

    Hello all. I own an Epifani 502 which I bought used and has crapped out on me twice during gigs resulting in it going back for repair twice. Hopefully it will be fine now. It's an incredible amp which I love to bits. I usually always travel with a backup but after replacing my entire Eden rig with an Epifani amp and cabinet I didn't have the funds yet to buy a spare amp. After the amp failed on me during a festival gig a couple of weeks ago I decided I had to buy a backup and went for a Little Mark II from the Bass Gallery in Camden. I can honestly say that this amp is too good to be used just as a spare. The simplicity, size, light weight and portability of the amp has blown me and everyone else away. Sound engineers laugh when I take it out of the gig bag. A guy in Holland said last week "Don't tell me that's going to be loud enough...?" to which I replied "Wait and see!" He was shocked. I've also read the threads on talkbass.com which mention the fall off a few feet in front of the amp. I have noticed this on stage but I've also had comments from audience members at a gig without PA in a marquee who told me the sound of the amp filled the room. I find the flat tone to be a little too middly with my '75 Precision, so I boost a little bit of low and low mid and have the VPF knob at around 10 o'clock. Sounds nice and warm. I am totally satisfied with this amplifier and recommend it without hesitation. I shall be taking it to Spain for a gig on Friday as hand luggage. The gig bag doubles as a nice man bag!
  6. Hi Colin, Hope you're well. Yes it's a lovely bass and it's very sad to have to sell it but I can't afford to have Jo's '75 P bass as well, and I'm using the P all the time with Ian now. The '75 Jazz I have sounds great and is actually similar to the Overwater in some ways, just not as clean sounding. Shame eh?
  7. Hello. For sale is my Overwater J series Custom 4 string bass guitar. Selling purely because I'm gigging mainly on an old Fender Precision or Jazz these days and can't afford to keep a nice custom bass sitting around doing nothing. This bass is also for sale on Ebay (£900 starting bid) [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=190142247455&ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT&ih=009"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...E:IT&ih=009[/url] The bass has the following features: Rosewood fingerboard. Flamed sycamore top. Swamp Ash body. Hand-made mother of pearl scratchplate. Chrome bell-plate/control cover. Sadowsky onboard pre-amp with Vintage Tone Control. Locking jack socket. Bartolini narrow soap-bar pickups. The bass was made at the end of 2004. I bought it used 6 months after it was made. The original owner changed his mind about it as he was used to playing a 32" scale bass. The Overwater is standard, 34" scale. I used this bass on gigs for about a year but since last summer haven't used it at all. There are a couple of small dings on the side of the body and one on the top which may be hard to see in the pics, but nothing serious. The bass sounds lovely and tight, modern and funky but also has traditional overtones due to the Sadowsky preamp. the circuit is very versatile. The vintage tone control means you can affect the tone of both active and passive modes. £900.
