  1. Recently purchased two covers from them. RRP for the 2 - £98 plus £10 for the printing. Very robust feeling and great padding. Equally as good as or better than the Aguilar ones which are now discontinued. They do feel that they could take a good knock and offer good protection with the thickness.
  2. I'm out! Technical term is biffed it I think? Aguilar Cabs & TH500 Had to pay some nominal fees & percentage of the actual cost of the RRP
  3. I am very proud to say I am now an endorsee for Aguilar Amplification! A huge thank you specifically to Pete from their UK distribution Barnes & Mullins!

      Can you feed back to them that 40hz centre for Bass control is way too low to be usable as anything but a cut? 😉

      @Harlequin74 South East Wales but I do online lessons also 

  5. Can’t wait to see it! I know we’ve discussed the spec previously & it’s going to be an amazing instrument
  6. It's arrived! I've made a a separate NBD post over here
  7. It's here! After a little wait & as usual, exquisite luthier work by the team at Overwater Basses & continued support. We have an Overwater Custom J5 Fretless with a few custom options. 35" Scale Walnut top & headstock facing Swapping out the bridge position J pickup and dropping in a Musicman pickup. Added passive tone control (as usual for myself) Luminlay sidedots This bass was specced & delivered very quickly for a specific tour to start shortly this year. It was commissioned due to the need of a 5 string fretless bass for quite a few tracks. Have two fretless basses in my collection already - 1976 Musicman Stingray & an early 1970's P Bass. Both four strings so not ideal for the job. I would like to send my thanks to Kirsty, Martin, Chris & the whole team at Overwater Basses for the amazing basses they make daily & for the continued support from the company also. Full Specification - 5 String 35” Scale Length Neck - Standard Bolt On One Piece Maple Straight Headstock with Walnut Veneer Fretless (24 fret neck) 46mm Nut Width 18mm Bridge Spacing Plain Unlined Ebony Fingerboard Luminlay Side Dots Body - Swamp Ash Walnut Top Electronics - Active Overwater 3 Band + Passive Tone Control Pickups - Overwater Jazz Single Coil + Musicman Humbucker Locking Jack Hardware - Overwater Bridge Hipshot Hardware in Black Satin Natural Lacquer Finish
  8. Can anyone identify these tuners I’ve just found. I know they’re Hipshot Ultralight's but not the exact model

      Looks like a HB6C 1/2" in matt chrome?

      The 1/2" is a guess; you'll need to measure the string post diameter to establish if it's a 1/2 or a 3/8.

  9. If it helps it was set in motion back last year haha
  10. What counts as Unsolicited/Unprompted? for example if it was from an amplifier company themselves as part of a deal for instance & I reached out to them........maybe?
  11. I'm holding strong so far.... but out of interest & entirely hypothetical of course 😏 - If someone was to be given A full amp rig (two cabs & a head) but would only have to pay postage would that still be within the rules?
  12. For the first time in around 8 years I’m opening up lesson slots on SATURDAY’s 8am-1pm In person in Ebbw Vale South Wales or Online Bass Guitar Bass Synth Guitar Vocals Music Theory GCSE, As & A Level Music https://www.phillcourtmusic.com/tuition

      Of course, it depends on one’s gigs and what we expect from our backline….my experience is not others etc etc

      I`d agree with the Ashdown comments, great sounding amps and very good customer service. Their smaller Class D range, the RM amps are very good and make touring nice and easy.

  23. I'm doing a little series today. A Day in the life of | Pro Bass Player over on my Facebook & Instagram @phillcourtmusic
