    Hi,

    I thought I'd share a few pictures of my latest bass - an Overwater Evolution 6.

    It's been in the 'works' for a while and I decided not to post a build diary as I was in no rush. It's a simple beast, but sounds amazing. It features a rather rare Holly top that has no visible grain pattern which gives the impression of a painted finish - you have to look very closely to see slight wood characteristics. The holly is matched with a Walnut body and a black veneer.

    The full spec is below. It's a welcome additional to my bass family and I'd like to thank my good friends at OW for their patience, experience and workmanship.

    [size=3][b][u]Overwater Evolution 6[/u][/b][/size]

    [b]Body:[/b] Walnut
    [b]Top:[/b] Holly
    [b]Neck:[/b] 3 Piece Maple
    [b]Fretboard:[/b] Ebony
    [b]Bridge:[/b] Hipshot Style A (brass)
    [b]Machineheads:[/b] Hipshot Ultralite Y Key
    [b]Pick Ups:[/b] Nordstrand Fat Stacks
    [b]Preamp:[/b] OW3 Band EQ

    [b]String Spacing:[/b] 19mm at bridge
    [b]Scale:[/b] 35"

    [b]Extra's:[/b] Matching Holly pick up covers - Matching Walnut cavity covers.

    [b]To be added:[/b] Holly Truss Rod cover

    I've tried to give an accurate impression of colour, however as the top is rather pale the colour may look a little yellow due to spot lights used.

    Here you go guys.

    I'd like to stress that these are [b]prototypes[/b], but are very close to the finished instruments - so not many changes.

    Even at this stage they are fantastic and I have a particular fondness for the PJ4 :)

    If any of you guys use the images below (other web sites, blogs, forums etc) please reference and credit appropriately. [b]Overwater By Tanglewood (prototype) | www.overwaterbasses.com [/b]

    Enjoy....

    Thanks guys!

    As it turned out my birthday will be one to remember as when I arrived to work on the house I'm renovating yesterday morning I was greeted by water gushing through the ceiling, chimney breast and walls.

    A hose broke in my shower pump and I'm now faced with the cost of repairing the damage caused by the water and replacing the shower pump.


    So.... it seems I'm even eager to sell one of these at least.

    As it happens it's my 27th Birthday today. If any of you would like to purchase any of those 27 years PM me for a price. They've been well cared for with only a small number of years abuse while I was a student. I am a strict vegetarian who works out 5 days a week, cycles everywhere and loves playing basketball.

    Alternatively I'm also 6'7" and would be willing to sell a few inches of height.

    Hey Geoff! How's things mate?

    I love both these basses and have never had a problem letting them be good examples of the Overwater J Series. My intention when having both of these built was to get the ultimate 'players bass' that could be used in all environments and gigging situations without compromise. There are without doubt the most stable basses I have and have really enjoyed owning them.

    Thanks Alan! I've got a few things lined up and I'm still freelancing, but with a house renovation nearing completion money is tight.


    [quote name='4 candles' post='501533' date='May 30 2009, 12:11 PM']Why not sell the fretless, use the cash to buy an amp. Get back out there and earn some cash through gigs[/quote]

    It would be my first choice but I'm literally trying to survive at the moment, pay the mortgage and work


    [quote name='Crazykiwi' post='501535' date='May 30 2009, 12:12 PM']Jeez mate, I know exactly how you feel. I hope things turn around for you soon. Things are bottoming out at the moment, so thats something at least.[/quote]

    Dude... I remember chatting with you the day I was waiting to find out....oh well... I'll be popping over to NZ to see you when the bank takes my house off me lol

    Hi Guys,

    Anyone who knows me will appreciate how hard this is for me and if there were any other option I'd take it. Times are hard and I was recently made redundant. Although I can keep hold of these I am in the situation where they are literally my biggest assets (apart from my house) and for that reason they need to go.

    My paid gigs ended last year when I left a covers band and I sold my bass rig in order to fund the house and because of this I haven't played these much at all.
