    Early example, medium scale Overwater: [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Overwater-Custom-Bass-Guitar-UK-Made-Vintage-Model_W0QQitemZ140344458424QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV?hash=item20ad2e7cb8&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Overwater-Custom-Bas...id=p3286.c0.m14[/url] Looks basic but hey, it's an Overwater!

    I'd just like to add that i recently bought a bass from a zero feedback seller, no pictures in the listing and a too-good-to-be-true price. Received the bass last week and it's excellent! The seller was very responsive to questions though, supplied pics and details readily In that case the seller was new to eBay and didn't think people would be wary of the auction, he was actually one of the more genuine sellers out there! RE this listing, as others have said if the seller isn't responding and you can't view the bass then it might be best to leave it unless you don't mind the risk of losing the postage fee in a Paypal claim. Also you the money would go to your Paypal account so they'd take another slice of the pie when it's transferred back to your bank. Weigh up the potential loss and decide if you wanna chance it!

    [quote name='Mr. Foxen' post='590991' date='Sep 5 2009, 08:55 PM']Fairly tempted to get htis and the fretted neck going (hence asking thickness). Would anyone be after the neck?[/quote] How much would you be wanting?

    This was originally mine, Dr. Dave was it's second owner. It originally had cheapy (but actually pretty good) pickups and electrics which i swapped out for USA Fender gubbins. I also added a decal but i'm not sure if Dave replaced this with a different one. It's an excellent bass especially for this price, it has bags of mwah and nails that Jaco sound. It also looks a lot more expensive than it actually is! If i had the space i'd have it back, unless someone wants to buy my Warmoth! EDIT: Oh the bass is about 3 years old btw and was £199 new (i actually chose it over more well known basses), i paid £39 for the electrics, £8 for the decal and £7 for the fender-compatible knobs (the shafts are thicker on Fender stuff). It originally had Jaco-style P-Bass knobs but i gave these away with the original electrics

    Have a look at some match fishing holdalls, Preston Innovations do decent stuff in their Hardcase range (you might need to download the PDF): [url="http://www.prestoninnovations.co.uk/hardcase.php"]http://www.prestoninnovations.co.uk/hardcase.php[/url] I use a similar one (for fishing, not gigging!) and it's taller than me and i'm 6'5" You might have to modify the interior and i have no idea if it would be wide enough for a Palatino. They're usually divided into 2 sections. Loads of fishing shops stock Preston gear so you might be able to have a look at them before buying

    [quote name='jmsjabb' post='590169' date='Sep 4 2009, 09:43 PM']I hope so. The guy emailed to say he has posted and I should get it Monday or Tuesday next week. It is the red oiled finish, which seems quite rare to find S/H. Again, not too much detail, but we will see.[/quote] I wouldn't worry, he said he likes to send things as soon as possible. He's a genuinely sincere guy by the sounds of things, kept me updated all the way through the sale and was more than happy to provide extra pictures and answer questions. Just a new seller who's honest and has good stuff to list but hasn't used eBay before. Everyone has to start somewhere! I bought mine blind with no pictures and he had a zero feedback rating, the bass is totally ace btw! Steve

    That Corvette was lovely too! And i'm not gonna sell it, i've been after a Fortress for donkeys years ever since i first saw the Masterman reviewed in Music Mart! I'm actually GASsing for one of those now.... The colour on this one is really nice, quite a high gloss so in normal light it's a shade of brown but it's got greeny tinges to it. Neck is excellent too. Not got any pics yet as i'm waiting for the missus to bring her camera round

    [quote name='geoffbyrne' post='589648' date='Sep 4 2009, 01:36 PM']They were the originals, I believe. I certainly have no knowledge of the pre being changed, or even what it is. It is completely different from the pre in my Hohner B Bass V. The B has the guts of the pre in a small rectangular box held in a double battery box beside the 9V battery. If I remember correctly all the guts on the J are in the cavity. The pickups are essentially license-built EMG Selects. The body is a Hohner Professional JJ Bass, 2 piece in stained maple. It's entirely possible that it too was built by Cort in Korea. Geoff[/quote] Cheers Geoff!

    I always used to set it up on the line when i played a lined bass. I remember an interview with Jaco where he said he always used to fret right on the fret anyway, so his transition to fretless was instant. I've always fretted right on the wire or a little behind it since reading that, unless i'm playing a stretchy chord!

    [quote name='geoffbyrne' post='589430' date='Sep 4 2009, 09:54 AM']Mine had EMG Selects which went to Ou7shiined (I think) & he put them in something decent & really liked them(!). I managed to pick up a pair of Joe Barden Twin Rails from another Basschat member, and those, along with the John East have made the B V into a class act. G.[/quote] Have you any idea what the pickups and preamp are in the Hohner bitsa fretless i bought off you? They're being replaced by passives and a piezo bridge so i'm probably gonna give the whole lot away EDIT: Also what model was the body originally taken from? Ta

    Postage stayed the same when i ordered from them, dunno if they still do that. I work in mail order and know exactly what delivery costs so i hate it when companies charge a fortune for postage, as a rule if they're making sneaky profits from postage then i buy elsewhere

    [quote name='obbm' post='589389' date='Sep 4 2009, 09:02 AM']Until you add the postage costs.[/quote] I think it was 2 or 3 quid last time i ordered from them, not too extortionate compared to some places. I got 2 EHX adapters and a reverse polarity adapter for around £15 posted

    [quote name='XxBassMastaXx' post='588942' date='Sep 3 2009, 06:25 PM']its not ugly! I know i said i like stingrays but they are way out of my price range. But this is also nice and only £400.[/quote] Get a second hand SUB! There was one on here for £350 and i sold my housemate's for £380 with an ABS hard case Proper USA made 'Ray for peanuts

    Effectpowersupplies also do these for £3.99. [url="http://www.effectpowersupplies.com/9v-battery-clip-adaptor-9-p.asp"]http://www.effectpowersupplies.com/9v-batt...adaptor-9-p.asp[/url] They're like Diago but not stupidly expensive!

    Quick update, this turned up 10 minutes ago. Apart from a little ding by the jack socket it's mint. Looks like it's hardly been played. The seller also included what i presume to be a vol-vol-tone wiring he had going spare, nice of him and i think i'll find a home for it when i get my fretless piezo'd up Will post piccys in the porn thread when i get home!

    I always love a good J, the best ones aren't always the most expensive ones. Some cheapys just have that sound that i look for Interestingly i played a Mex Precision with a J at the bridge tonight. Apart from the awful, noisy active circuit in it i could coax a really good P sound and a great Jaco sound out of it with just a roll of the pickup blend, with very little compromise. If i hadn't had to adjust my playing to keep the electrics in check i reckon there's miles more sweet sounds in that bass

We're talking £300 - £400, one of those was a custom too. I've actually had to restrain myself from buying another!

    Excellent amps these, plenty loud enough to hold their own in a busy band. Orange watts are huge watts!
