Congrats mate 😁 it is a lovely bass, probably the nicest 4 string I've ever owned/played
-
Yeah I didn't buy it from Overwater which is why I was very pleased with them being so helpful.. The shop I bought it from have agreed to pay for me to have the parts replaced with my local luthier. But I agree, I already told them that its put me off ever buying from them again as the 'setup' they did was horrendous as they were trying to hide the buzzing by raising bridge saddles stupidly high! I've also edited the OP so hopefully it's not confusing..

Sorry chaps! Some of my terrible pictures a stock picture

This is just a quick post regarding a new (to me) bass. Recently did a deal for my lovely xotic in exchange for a rather tasty looking overwater (which I believe used to live in this forum). The shop dropped the bass to my place and collected the other whilst I was at work. I got home to find although the bass is lovely, it has fret buzz on open A+B strings due to worn nut, and the truss rod nut was partially rounded. I contacted the shop who are going to pay for me to have repairs carried out. I also contacted Overwater and a few emails back and forth with to order some replacement parts, Chris and the team sent me the parts I needed completely free of charge! 😁 🤘 To say the bass is 15 years old and they are still happy to help me out like this is really above and beyond what I'd have expected. Great customer service like this is what keeps people using certain brands! Keep up the good work Overwater 😁

Far too cheap for a Vigier! Someone getting a bargain -
Love the look of them Charvel basses and have been very tempted myself. Looks like a lovely first 5 string 😁 congrats!

Hi people, due to moving house and lack of use I have decided to sell my lakland j sonic. This is a 2016 bass that sounds fantastic and has that trademark excellent lakland B string. Previous owner used it for alot of gigs so it has some small chips and minor indents, also some of the chrome has began to flake off the pickup surrounds. Nothing drastic and none of it affects how nicely this bass plays. It balances perfectly and has a jazz bass esque tone with added girth! The neck I would say is a shallow d profile and is very easy to get around. Currently fitted with dunlop strap buttons however the originals will be refitted before sale. Oh and the best thing about this bass, is obviously the fact that it's gold. Gold! I may consider a trade, mainly for fretted 5 strings however would consider a 4 if it was something I could sell easily enough. Collected or meet up only for now as I don't have a box. Happy to meet up to an hour from Gosport if it helps a deal. Anything else just ask, thanks! *weight approx 9.8lbs -
I've had multiple 5 strings over the last few years (lakland, musicman bongo, shuker, overwater, mayones etc) and do all my own basic setups as I know how I like them. I agree that a well setup can bass definitely helps with a good B string, however I've also found some basses just have a clearer b than others. For example I have an overwater with 35" scale and two laklands (one USA one Indonesian) that are both 35" scales, all of which are fitted with ernie ball nickel rounds. Both the laklands definitely have a clearer B string. The overwater is definitely not a bad B string just the laklands are better - to my ears anyway. I feel that the rigidity of the neck and density of the woods used can have a big difference on the clarity especially noticeable in the lower register. That's my two pence anyway

That looks stunning!

The sunburst one that Bassbros have in stock was my one 😁. Its an absolutely stunning jazz bass. Anyone who hasn't tried an xotic but likes jazz basses, even if you buy one blind you won't regret it. They are unbelievably nice. I've had a few jazz basses (sandberg, USA fender, flea etc) and that xotic is another step up. I traded it with them for an overwater they had that tickled me fancy (and again I think was for sale here once upon a time) purely as I've committed to 5 strings. It wasn't the lightest jazz, I think I measured it at 9.5lbs but the balance and playability are fantastic. If I was playing 4 strings I'd buy another xotic without hesitation. I've almost pulled the trigger on that orange 5 string a few times 😁

A 5502 I had exactly the same as this is the bass that converted me from a 10+ year 4 string player to 5 strings. The clarity and flexibility of these basses is hard to match. I liked it so much I decided to treat myself to its USA made brother 😁 GLWTS -

Abd recently bought my shuker singlecut. Communication was excellent and was a very easy no fuss deal. A lovely bass gone to a good home. Enjoy the bass mate!
-
My new beauty, needed a proper clean and setup as the action was around 5mm at 12th fret 😂 but now plays and sounds fantastic!

Just purchased a fly rig from Graham. Quick communication and posted nice and fast. Another easy basschat deal, thanks!
-
Just sold a power supply to Paul. Excellent communication and quick payment. Would happily deal with again. Cheers mate!

Hey people, this is a very tentative sales post for my singlecut shuker and I may remove it at any time! This is a stunning bass in every sense, however I need to accept that I prefer more traditional styled basses so my lakland is always first choice. It was custom built in 2014 for a member on here, there are various past threads in the search box regarding this bass. It's a 34 scale, string spacing is adjustable currently 18mm, lightweight at around 8.5lbs and comes with the hiscox shuker branded case (which has a few marks but does its job). There is one tiny pin prick on the front and a small chip on the lower side of the fretboard, other than that it's in great condition. Has been fitted with two new 9v batteries and a recent set of ernie ball strings. It has a 3 band eq with variable mids and hosts a pair of nordstrand big split pickups. It plays as good as it looks and is a stunning. I'm looking to get back what I paid and I won't be moving on price as its already a steal! I may consider 4/5 string fretted basses as a part trade if its something I could easily sell on later. Any more questions just ask, collection or meet up only. Happy to travel up to an hour from Gosport. If a buyer wants it posted, I can box it up but they would need to organise and accept all responsibility. Thanks and enjoy the pictures- 4 replies

PSU now sold.. The board is nice and compact 50x20cm and comes in a nice carry bag. I've included a picture to show the layout I had for a idea of space (pedals not included). Collection welcome or UK postage included. Thanks -
These should need no introduction. Probably one of the most used tuner pedals available. Has the magic ability to tune your strings instantly making you sound like a much better musician*. A few chips from normal use but functions perfectly. Collection or UK postage included. Thanks *results may vary -
Excellent condition spectracomp. Plenty of info online for these, but essentially a simple compressor pedal that can have its settings altered via the app and simulate many different compressors. Excellent condition and in original box. There is velcro on the underside. Collection welcome or UK postage included. Thanks

Hi all, downsizing my gear so am moving all my pedals on. These need no introduction, awesome preamps which are incredibly flexible. Excellent condition, does have velcro on the underside. I had this sent to darkglass last year and it had a complete new PCB so works like new. I've only used it at home. I did have the box and stickers but cannot find it anywhere so for now will be packed well in a box. If the original turns up obviously I can include/forward it. Collection welcome or postage to UK included. Thanks
