Not a user of flats but that seems really cheap for 3 sets glwts

It should be per pack my mistake!

Here is my Fender Vintera 60's Mustang bass for sale.

It's in excellent condition apart from one little scratch on the pickup. I purchased it during the first lockdown & it's only had use on one remote recording session.

Great bass but just not my thing at all sadly.

I'm open to offers but no trades as it will go towards a new Stingray for myself.

Includes the original gig bag.

Pickup preferred but could ship at the buyers cost (will need to get a box etc) 

100% Designacable! Excellent cables/parts & really great service too. Just had a new set from them today

Damnation. Getting gas now.  The gallery have three of them, all around £3k, but all maple board with frets .... guess they'd fit an ebony one for another few £100 ......

..No...  don't even think about it.

That was my first step really 😂 I’m not one to tell people to get stuff but yeah do it! 😂

1976 = vintage?. Holy stinky poo, what does that make me?!

Nice bass though; natural ash and ebony stingrays just look "right" somehow.   Just curious .... How does it sound compared to a modern EB one?

 

Thanks! I find it’s got a bit more heft & weight to the sound compared to the EB modern ones

I think the binding looks great, too. 

I was a bit hesitant at first, but I think it "classes" it up a little bit haha!

Beautiful!! Looks like it’s in great condition too. 

Yeah, a few dings here & there as usual but all pretty decent holding up well 

After a long(ish) search & after exhausting all other options including getting Ernie ball to make a new one, BFR's & five strings I finally got my hands on this exquisite bass.

Via a private sale & at a decent price I've finally got one! Plays absolutely beautifully & weighs a tonne too!

Fretboard was swapped a few years ago by a studio in London & new bound ebony fretboard installed.

At first I wasn't really keen on the binding, but it's growing on me.

Hipshot D Tuner installed (I have the OG tuner) but alas no original hardcore.

This is my second ever vintage bass after my 72 Jazz & I've fallen in love! Unfortunately I don't think I'll be using her for every gig I'm hired for, but I will try my dammed hardest! 

Serial starts  No. B00. Neck signed by "Andy"

I joined up to the "other" site and like you said Quilly just not very friendly IMO

Seeing that video again I am reminded that I’m definitely a Beyoncé fan! 😅

My band have done this a few times but I’ve played it on bass, it’s a tough one for the singers with its many key changes! 

Will have a play round and see if I can come up with a sound. 

I do admire as a musician 😁 it is! the artist I'm working for is class so no worries there! Thanks for the help 

Ive got to recreate this bass synth soon on a Sub Phatty! I'm close but just can't get the tone of it right 😩 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ob7vObnFUJc I'm not a huge Beyonce fan, but the baseline is pretty sweet 

I'm in the exact same boat! Have to pick up key bass for an upcoming tour, would be great to share patches and help each other out (feeling a bit overwhelmed so dar) 

Ex demo Moog Sub Phatty bought last year. Mint condition with only studio use. does not include the original box (but includes manuals etc) so cannot ship. £550 OVNO or will swap for a Novation Bass Station II with cash my way. Cash/Bank transfer or PayPal on delivery/pickup. I can deliver within a reasonable distance. https://www.basschat.co.uk/forum/21-other-musically-related-items-for-sale/?do=add#

They've put the P pickup in the wrong way!

 

Send it back!  

Honestly I didn't want the reverse P to start off with but it just seems to tighten everything up a little bit 😊

After about a year of the first inception its finally here! I'm so happy with the bass and would like to thank the Overwater team for the great service, workmanship & help.

Some specs for you all - 

A standard Overwater 5 string P body & 35" scale length. I initially wanted a 36" but soon realised that 35" scale length is ample for a tight low B. Of course the P style body is classic & I love a classic (I wanted a P bass anyway) 

5 strings because of necessity as a player & loving a low Eb for some Stevie Wonder grooves!

Surf Green colour & the matching headstock. A classic look & some cool retro vibes. It was either going to be green or Daphne Blue, but I'm so happy with the colour and the brightness of the bass and the lovely gloss finish which is off-set with a classic off white scratch plate.

Also they kindly added a lovely PC Custom signature to the back of the headstock.

We've got a swamp ash body & one piece maple neck. This just stems from the similarity to my Am Deluxe Jazz & have always liked the response from that combination. Its hefty but not overly so.

Indian rosewood fretboard. I haven't played a rosewood in ages but wanted that old school look & feel. This is where the no front markers came from. I wanted a clean crisp look similar to some other basses I've lusted over. It takes some getting used to (I didn't realise how often I looked at the actual fingerboard!) I have 2mm mother of pearl dots on the side though Thank goodness!

We've got a reverse P & a MM style. The chunkiness of the P in passive is pure old school and filthy. Then we have the phattness off the MM style in the bridge. Another thing to add is the Neutrix locking jack socket which gives me great piece of mind. 

While experimenting with the John East/Overwater 3 band boost & cut EQ with mid range sweep, passive tone & pickup blend I fell in love. I can solo the MM, boost the bass & treble a little bit & Bam! it sounds exactly like a MM bass. pan all the way to the reverse P and we have that funky chunky stank face inducing thick loavable tone. 

Hardware wise we have a huge chunky Overwater bridge with 18mm string spacing. Which gives me plenty of room between each string for the old slap pop and its solid, designed so well especially for set ups and string changes. Next we have the classic Hipshot Ultralite 1/2 post tuners which weigh nothing and move very smoothly.  

Or pick both in active and have a warm crisp defined tone perfect for more modern grooves & soaring crisp top end (EQ is flat at this point) Comprehensive isn't the word for this circuit & pickup combo, it doesn't do it justice.

I took it for a spin at a recent The Special Brew rehearsal and was met with compliments on looks, tone, & general grooviness (sadly not personally!) It cut through when needed for my solos & provided some great round bottom too. 

Following this I've also had my first show with it too! A depends gig with Ska Band The Navarones. I kept in passive with the tone rolled off a little for 80% off the show then bumped it into active with a slight bass boost for more "Dubby" styled songs.

The bass is very comfortable, although it is a little heavy! and easy to play. Its very even between pickups & over all the strings too which makes life easier simply. 

It balances well and although the neck is wide it fits my hand perfectly with a lovely rounded edge to the fingerboard which screams quality.
