Gorgeous, I've always had a thing for Overwater J-basses, my old tutor had a fretted/fretless pair that were to die for. There's something about a totally bare wood bass that I love

Yeah I’ve had an American Deluxe Jazz V that’s similar. With the “wood” finish and I had to go for it again with this Overwater 

Had delivery of this beautiful J style bass from Overwater! Slick, smooth & tonally very useable in most is not all circumstances!

Just jumping in, The Earl Haig would be great! Be great to meet & see others again

Been having a great experience with Bass Bro’s. They sold my 72 Jazz for me recently & sorted out a problem with the bass too for me before it being sold. Excellent service & very communicative. In addition, I’ve. bought some great OC2’s from there too 

Rupert Neve DI - 

 

You all know what it does. Bought asa backup for some other DI's in the studio & used once. Mint condition & have the OG box.

 

Meet, Deliver, Post (at buyers expense) £200 ONO 

EBMM Stingray Classic V

 

Purchased at the beginning of the year (see other NBD post) Absolutely lovely bass in great condition (bit of rust on the top two pup cover screws) Sounds like a Stingray would if it have 5 strings!

Selling to fund another Overwater.

Pickup, meet or post (at cost)& organisation of buyer)  is all fine & I have the OHSC too. 

 

Open to sensible offers too but no trades.

EHX Bass Micro Synth  Pedal - 

 

Purchased last year from Andertons maybe? A powerful good tracking bass synth.  Need to raise funds for another silly bass purchase! 

 

Pickup, meet or post (at cost) is all fine & I have the OG box too. (I have taken the little feet off the bottom & I haven't got them anymore) 

 

There is a little bit of green pen on one of the sliders too

 

Open to offers too. 

MXR Vintage Bass Octave Pedal - 

 

Purchased this year from another member & it sounds great with a lovely small footprint. Need to raise funds for another silly bass purchase! 

 

Pickup, meet or post (at cost) is all fine & I have the OG box too. (I have taken the little feet off the bottom & I haven't got them anymore) 

 

Open to offers too. 

That's great to hear! Same experience here too. I was messing around with the centre detented pots on my Custom P5  & Did something to one of them & they sent a whole new knob, spring, instructions plus two allen keys to tighten them up too. Cant fault them!

I absolute love any form of Bass VI, been using the Squier for many years & got to use it on a few sessions/performances too luckily!

Switched to the Labella flats first then shimmed the neck etc & had great results. I do have a very cool Fender Custom Shop Bass VI arriving on Monday 😄 which I've been waiting at least 2 1/2 years for

Currently got 3 boards on the go! The big one as a min, the small for travelling lighter at pop gigs in the city mainly & a studio board with just the OC-2 & Cali 76

Bought The Bassist’s Strymon PSU. quickly packed up and shipped and very easy buying/trading! 

Bought Quatschmacher's MXR Vintage Octave. Quick easy & very impressed! Great person to deal with

I’ve nearly bought a classic 5 a few times but haven’t, mainly because I play mainly seated and the lack of a forearm contour puts me off. Some of those pastel finishes like coral and mint are just lush but oh so rare over here…

Yes, I've been playing it sitting down mostly & it does rub a bit but it's manageable at the moment!

4 Years ago. A nice tribute gig at a festival quite close to home. Arrived early & watched all of the bands on before us etc. Quickly drank my pint of Brains Smooth before setting up quickly on stage (quick turnaround) 

Started the first song, all good, then second. I felt myself start to slip behind the beat constantly & consistently a beat behind then 2 then 3. Started feeling a bit lightheaded too. Leant up against my amp to compose myself & felt myself slowly sliding down towards the floor. 

Next thing I find is a very large burly biker bloke physically carrying me under his arm outside to get some air. 

 

I'd been spiked. Absolutely terrifying & a not so nice feeling for about two days. Band sounded great from outside (minus the bass) I still go paid for the gig too

That fretless is rather nice too 🙂   Natural stingrays = my favourite kind.

Thanks! It's a special one  I do like the sunburst type ones but the natural is perfect

Lovely stuff. I can hear exactly what that sounds like just by looking at it!

It's near perfect sound-wise. Just how a stingray should.

Just took ownership of this lovely bass. Sounds like a classic Stingray but with the extra string!

Little bit heavy, but manageable for me. Been after one for a while & got offered one from a private stock in January 2022 

 

Got a session coming up on Thursday so I'm going to take it along  

 

p.s. It matches my fretless 4 perfectly!

Saw a lovely bass I need to get so dropping the price to £250
