From Fender - 

Born in Corona, California, the American Performer Stratocaster delivers the exceptional tone and feel you expect from an authentic Fender - with new enhancements that make it even more inspiring to play.

The American Performer Stratocaster includes the Yosemite™ single-coil pickups, designed for rich, expressive tones. With flat-staggered pole pieces to increase output and a shellac coating that lets the coil breathe while controlling feedback, Yosemite pickups produce dynamic sounds ideal for any musical situation. The American Performer Stratocaster also features Greasebucket™ tone circuitry and a push-pull tone control which adds the neck pickup in any switch position, unlocking new, musically useful tones. The "Modern C"-shaped neck sports a 9.5"-radius fingerboard that's comfortable for almost any playing style, along with 22 jumbo frets for effortless and accurate bending.

Total weight of the finished bass would be one wonderful detail. And first impressions, naturally. (I still remember the feel, when I received my custom fretless 4. And the feel is still the same.)

Once I get it I’ll give it a weigh for you 👍

All set up and assembled by Chris! Looks the part with all the hardware & electronics in now. Expecting delivery later next week just letting it all settle then!

That bass looks wonderful. I love dark, unlined necks. The top is also very neat.

 

Is the body chambered, do you have any hint of the weight? 10 or 8 lbs.?

Thank you!! No chambering and weighs around 9lbs

Looking good!  What's the tour?

Thank you! Liza Baker from The Voice UK. Some tasty basslines

I've got some gift vouchers to release. I haven't done this in a few years, but I'm offering discounts to Bass Chat members too! (perfect for gifts or for yourselves of course)

I've got one on my Overwater 6, I like it for most playing but sometimes I feel like I'm not in the mood for it haha. Luckily it is removable. I had another removable one on my 72 Jazz but never got on with it sadly. 

I'm still sorta working on the learning curve of having one and its advantages.

I loved my "Green machine" Overwater - so much so that I was scared to take it out.

 

Pointless having it really.

 

I eventually sold it back to the fella who commissioned it in the first place.

 

Yours is looking fine already.

Oh yes I remember that one I think! 

Cheers mate!

That looks really grand. I'll bet it will sound fantabulous as well. Lucky man. 👍

At first I wasn't sold on the walnut top but it does set it off nicely! Sound wise I think its going to sing as a fretless should

More of Martin's magic.

He's a top lad and keeping right up to date with the build too, so more pictures incoming 

Ive contacted overwater for a specific build as a tour next year requires a fretless five string. The only other fretless I own is a 1976 Stingray that I don't fancy taking the road!
