[quote name='Monz' post='881691' date='Jun 30 2010, 10:37 AM']Ok Guys... Seeing as I recently joined the club here are a couple of shots of mine [attachment=53272:IMG_0036.JPG] [attachment=53274:IMG_0037.JPG] [attachment=53273:IMG_0031.JPG] [attachment=53275:overwater_2.jpg] I think one of those needs crossposting to musicman porn and matamp porn lol[/quote] Like the Matamp, but it looks heavy!

[quote name='merello' post='878960' date='Jun 27 2010, 04:57 PM']Bob Glaub?[/quote] I watched Jackson Brown last night, very good, but why did his bass player bother changing bass from a nice old P bass to a Lakland P with a soapbar....they sounded very much the same on the telly!

[quote name='Monz' post='873471' date='Jun 21 2010, 01:49 PM']To be honest for the type of nusic we play it's perfect (so was the stingray) but the overwater makes the stingray sound weak by comparison. It's not as aggresive in in your face as the stingray but packs a lot bigger punch in a balanced way, if that makes any sense... I can't wait to gig it for the first time on Saturday[/quote] Glad you are enjoying it, and that it has gone to a good home!

[quote name='merello' post='871774' date='Jun 19 2010, 02:58 PM']Met a big guy playing an Overwater Bass in Silverburn for a Hospice. Hope he posts a pic of his new Overwwater on here and buy the way, 'Take the A Train' was spot on! Says his name on here is Moscow Bass.[/quote] Thank you sir! Nice to see you yesterday. There are pics of the Jazz posted....look in my posts.

[quote name='fuzzylogic' post='866591' date='Jun 13 2010, 11:11 PM']thanks, i thought this might be the case.did gig last night and noticed pretty much instant increase in volume without much further movement of dial.i do have a trace elliot gp12smx and your right, big volume, then it drops off after half.i take it when you say a loud big band, you mean a band that can make your ears ring when volume has gone a bit over the top.[/quote] Well the car sounds nice and quiet on the way home from a gig, so threshold shift has occurred!!!

[quote name='fuzzylogic' post='866637' date='Jun 13 2010, 11:50 PM']hiya moscowbass, what material or materials are your covers made from. price sounds good thanks dude daz[/quote] It's some sort of nylon cloth with cotton padded backing. I had one for my NL210 for years and it was good...stood up well and offered good protection, that's why I got one for my UL410. Recommended! They offer 5mm and 10mm padding, I went for the 10mm.

[quote name='fuzzylogic' post='865259' date='Jun 12 2010, 03:14 PM']i'd say more than likely your right.just thought i would get my facts absolutely right before i part company with money for a cover. i checked the dimensions of that cab he was selling and it's the same as mine[/quote] I have had 4 covers from Jenart Design [url="http://www.jenart.com/contact.html"]http://www.jenart.com/contact.html[/url] , they have been excellent...go for the 10mm padded version, it offers good protection. You just have to measure the cab accurately for handle position etc, I have one for my UL410 [attachment=52002:epi_4x10.jpg]. Here is what I sent them: Cover was about £40 delivered.

[quote name='fuzzylogic' post='865241' date='Jun 12 2010, 02:52 PM']thanks. sound was absolutely fantastic.didn't think i would exceed the amps cabability, but thought at 750 watts into an epifani cab at rated at 1000 watts 4ohms i wouldn't need to even turn up to half.[/quote] Most amps are like this these days, my 90's 200 watt Trace Elliot was really loud at under half volume, but there probably wasn't much gain left in it. My EA amps...iamp800 and iamp Micro don't start to work till they are over half volume. I was worried when I first got the iamp800 because of this characteristic. I use a Tecamp Puma 1000 into an Epi Ul410 and it runs about 10 o'clock with a loud big band. You will probably find 750 gets much louder at about 2 o'clock on the master.

[quote name='NJE' post='858401' date='Jun 5 2010, 07:13 PM']I hope you dont mind me taking this a little off topic but I was wondering what hard case (if any) you use for your new OW Jazz? The reason I ask is that I have just aquired one secondhand and unfortunately it does not fit in my very nice new Hiscox case, its about 1-2 inches too long. I am just wondering what off the shelf hard case will take it. I might have to get padded bag or something if there is nothing available. Many thanks.[/quote] It came with the larger Hiscox case (STD-EBP) and fits nicely. The Overwater Progress basses fit in the standard Hiscox case (STD-EBS).

I have been using Hi beams on my fretted 5 and really like them, but just ordered a set of Marcus Miller fatbeams to try them on my new jazz. It will be interesting to see if there is a noticable difference in the 2 sets of strings. I use Sunbeams on my fretless 6 and I'm very happy with them. I like the 125 B rather than the 130 B string.

[quote name='Metalmoore' post='851527' date='May 29 2010, 11:48 PM']That is the most beautiful bass i have EVER seen... I envy you for owning it.[/quote] It's taken many years to get these basses, I still have my trusty Fender P bass which was my only bass for many years. This Overwater is my "after" mid life crisis bass!!
