I sold the hardcase with another original I had (silly me) and it never came with a protection racket case but definitely something to consider if I keep it.

Finally decided it's time to move this on, for 6 years this was my main bass but my style, music and requirements have shifted so much in the past year it's barely been used. This is a 2002 Overwater Original (I use to refer to it as a Progress 3 but given the body shape the correct term is original) these are very rare and extremely expensive to get made, somewhere around the 4 grand mark if ordering today. So you've got the benefits of the 3 band eq and locking jack etc over the 70's Originals. It's a lovely cross between a jazz and a thunderbird. It is well used and has a few battle scars that I've tried to show in the pictures, nothing structural or that would affect performance, if it had a bit more you'd call it relic'd and I could charge more, there is some buckle rash but it's very hard to show in the pictures, I'd suggest anyone interested come try it first. This is very versatile bass but naturally a bright sound, I prefer a murkier muddy sound these day, it's like playing a very angry piano, of the 6 Overwaters I've had this is the best. It's 36 inch scale so the B is really tight and for 4 years I was tuned down a full step and it was like thunder. But it's all these things that make me realise it's the time to sell, I'm not detuning, I'm largely running 4's with flats into mushy valve amps and it seems a waste to have this sat around (other than it looks lovely in the lounge) Currently it's strung with D'Addario Half Rounds and will come with a Fodera double gig bag, (please note the bag is quite worn and a couple of times the zip has split in small places, oddly it was only when sitting against a wall and not when being carried. I think this is largely due to the weight of having 2 basses in it and a lot of crap in the front pocket) Interesting story (to me at least), Overwater have only given 1 bass ace ever and they say when you are famous (and great) as him you can have a free bass too. That man was John Entwistle and the top of his bass is the slice above the top on this one. After John's death it was bought by Joy Division/New Order's Peter Hook where it now resides in his collection. So there is a nice tenuous claim to fame. Open to offers but not really interested in any trades at this time, thanks.

1 of 10 made in the so called Nipple pink colour, I did question the colour of their nipples when I got it but whatever. Selling the last of the ones I've owned as again I've not used it in a while. This is an absolutely fantastic low gain overdrive/tube simulator, there are loads of reviews and soundclips online of it. A real gem and increasingly hard to find.

I'd have thought so it was fine in my band running on a 2x12 Matamp cab. It was louder than the Marshall JCM800 Bass I ran last week (100w Valve) But as always volume is relative Weight is roughly 15kg (I want to say less but I don't have scales handy)

Great condition, still rocking the original mullards, no longer needed as using my iPad more and more and of course my Matamp. Works at 16 and 8 ohms, very loud for 50w and pretty light as tube amps go, pots are clean with no noticable noise, same with the amp, it's very quiet (background noise wise) for such an old amp. Open to offers and can ship if required
