That was a great VID clip. The full band were pretty impressive.
Bass was very crisp and clear but then again Overwater basses do tend to be that way. (I have 2)
Wish i could play that good.
Those vocals were damned impressive i have to say.

Out of curiosity what amp was used that night ? I was sure i saw a Markbass cab behind Ian.

Hi guys,

Just wanted to say hi and thanks so much for the kind words, I'm humbled.. I feel really lucky to have been asked to play in some great shows and don't take it for granted.. I played in 'The Book of Mormon' for 3 and 1/2 years and the MD of that show was leaving to start 'Dreamgirls' and he kindly asked if I wanted to move across with him.. I'm glad I did as it's turning out to be a really fun show, and a great play for a bass player.. It hasn't been done for 35 years but still sounds fresh in my opinion..

In Amber Riley's defence, we appeared on the Graham Norton show before the musical had even opened.. We had just met her and read the chart down that morning.. She had zero experience singing with a band at that point and was extremely nervous I think.. She's quickly settled into the show and sounds amazing I have to say, and with that confidence comes a bit of light and shade in her performance.. I think if you saw her live now you'd be really impressed, she brings the house down every night!

Regarding gear, I exclusively use Overwater basses now. I have two Jazz 5's and a hybrid Jazz 5 fretless.. They're all wonderful and I highly recommend them, Chris May and the guys at Overwater have been honing their art for many years now and the results are there to see.. A lot of West End players use them as they're reliable, extremely playable and free of hum/buzz/interference which is important in theatres.. I'm particularly impressed with the John East Uni-Pre at the moment and that's in the black bass in the clip above.. Check their basses out at http://overwaterbasses.com (and no I don't get a tenner for saying that!).

Well thanks again, all the best....

Great amp, always liked the look of them.. and they sound phat!

Hi there... Yes, it's the matching Fretless... It now has Nordstrand Big Splits in it which sound better (to my ears) than the EMG's did... Gonna take pics after my matinee and get them up on here..

Yup, gonna take some and will have them up on here within the next day or two.. Thanks for looking

Sounds great!

I would describe it as in 'good used condition', a few small marks here and there but generally good.

This bass cost me £2250 a few years ago so I'm now asking £1000.

I'm based in Guildford but also play in central London every night except sundays (Leicester Sq) so feel free to contact me if you'd like to try it out.

Feel free to ask any questions.

Many thanks, Ian

Anyone been to the gallery and checked these cabs out yet?

Hi Mykesbass, yeah I know what you mean.. Could do with more info really, especially the frequency response.. I had an Epifani 1x10" once and it rolled off well before the B string.. Real shame as it sounded great... Maybe with time they'll give more specs on the site...
And Steve, they're not active, just very pricey! Hmmmm...

http://www.db-bass.com/db-bass/embee_12.html

It would be between these two for me.....

Just wondering if anyone's got any experience with these relatively new cabs.. On paper they look amazing, I love the concept of having the speaker facing up at you within the cabinet... They're selling them at The Gallery... Anyone tried one?

No one interested in this lovely, mint Sadowsky Will Lee bass?

Cheers

Hi,

Thanks but no thanks.. I'm selling this to fund something else... Thanks anyway

Bump

Price drop bump

Open to sensible offers on this bass, asking price is now £2500.. An absolute steal bearing in mind it cost over £3500 getting it into the country from Sadowsky in NY

Maybe... This is a good price for an imported US Sadowsky, hopefully someone who visits here will snap it up first!

Thanks for the kind offer but I'd like to go for a straight sale on this. Thanks

First of a few pics have now been added

NOW SOLD

Sadowsky Will Lee 5-string in '59 burst with Bartolini dual in-line humcancelling pick-ups, Mono gig bag and strap. Back up for sale after a rethink. Need the funds for something else. Mint condition. I'm dropping the price to £2500 now, ovno

Proper description and pics to follow but I thought I'd get this up here in the mean time. I've just added the official pics Sadowsky sent of the bass, it now has Bartolini's in it but is still mint.

I'm based in Guildford. Feel free to get in touch with questions etc..

Thanks, Ian
