Mine was an unusual hybrid - P body with twin humbuckers (I don't want to derail the thread with an image but this probably only serves as testament to the quality of Chris' work) and bump for this staggering Charcoal Frost! E725A856-AE7E-4A12-8D7B-13BEA6E1AC94.heic

Ah, Chris's signature dense foam trick with the Hiscox case - something I've emulated recently. What a staggering bass. I recently had a custom hybrid P from Chris - a 2018 model. Outstanding in every way and gloriously executed - the attention to detail was world class. This J looks just the same and a gorgeous finish. For me, Overwaters are up there with the very best of British luthiery. Sad to hear of the retirement though - I hope that you'll return one day!

Me too! I might do even now. It looks like its pictured in a storage facility. Unfortunately, that's what I'd need to do with it too. Probably not a great idea but I'd love this and what a bargain (IMO, of course)

Lovely basses, impressive woodworking, fit and finish. They actually do a pretty good impression of classic Alembic tones. This looks to be in good condition for its age - pretty rare too

ooh, lovely - one of the nicer Limelights I've seen (I used to have a gorgeous olympic white with similar heavy reliving and a lovely Spitfire plate - fabulous instruments!

Absolutely beautiful - gorgeous timbers and Jon's work is up there with the very best. Is this 34" - the bass looks reasonably compact/short in the picture of the rear?

Best of the class Ds for me - extremely versatile with bags of smooth responsive power. Only sold mine through lack of use and missing it now

Fabulous, versatile amp and utter bargain! Sorted for amps otherwise I’d be straight in

superb cabs - I have the 210 version and it's remarkable - loud, versatile, responsive and controlled. Works really well with a variety of amps too from valve to class A/B SS. A significant bargain IMO

A wonderful bass - I've been sufficiently fortunate to have owned a few Celinders and the passive J's are amongst my favourites. There's something about the ergonomics of Cristian's basses that makes them incredibly easy to wear and play. The board on this one is spectacular too (as is beautifully figured neck!). I'd still have the Celinders if I hadn't moved over to shortscale pretty much exclusively. Good luck with the sale though it shouldn't need a lot of luck - some of the finest basses on the planet and there aren't that many of them around

Wow, absolutely staggering!

Me too, that's one of the nicest single cut designs that I've seen - elegant, coherent and avoids the bulbous bulk of some alternatives

I've had the inestimable pleasure of playing this bass and can assure any prospective purchasers that it is without doubt one of the finest Precisions that I've ever encountered (and there have been very many). Aesthetically it has the patina of genuine, professional use (as mentioned above, in some fairly august company: real rock'n'roll royalty). The wear pattern is authentic, and from memory, nothing to affect playability in any way. The tone is absolutely rock solid, classic P. Playability is sublime. Though I'm not generally a long-scale C width player, this is immense fun to play and the neck feel is instantly recognisable and comfortable. In all, the perfect transitional P bass - immensely cool, in the pocket, and at home on the biggest of stages anywhere in the world. If I could properly cope with a 1.75" nut, I'd have no hesitation in bending my credit card completely out of shape
