Well done!

Not all Overwater basses have the truss adjust at body end. 

No, not all, but all the pictures of their J and P style basses I could find do.  Many of their other models indeed do not.  

Also, Overwater Jazz and PB's have the truss rod adjuster at the body end.

If it ever did start out life as an Overwater, there's precious little of it left beyond the body.

Could it be a Overwater by Tanglewood?

Thats a very worthy thought, but the headstock design would still be wrong.

I've been eyeing up a Spirit bass myself of late.  When I were a young headbanger the original composite Steinberger looked like it had landed from another planet.  The Spirit is the next best thing now, and one day it shall be mine.

It's not that there's nothing I want.

It's more that if I don't spend that money on getting the bathroom sorted I may very well find  myself spending a lot more time with my guitars than I had anticipated next year.

Sounds like a win-win to ms!

None of us will make it to February.  I'm already hankering after a fretless and a Steinberger, a 4 x 10 cab, and just about anything else I can sneak I to the house while Mrs Bassfinger is out.

It looks absolutely sheet.  It could have been made by Leonardo DaVinci, but in that state it wouldn't matter.

Doesn't look like an Overwater headstock to me.  Wilkinson make decent, workmanlike gear, but I'm not aware of any higher end manufacturer fitting their gear as standard.  It smells fishier than Mrs Bassfingers home made apple pie.

Excellent, as a Tull fan that's a book I really ought to get.

It's all friendly stuff, nothing to worry about. He's really very good indeed, probably a better all rounder than me.

We usually do Just What I needed (The Cars) as our third, and I feel nicely I  the groove by then.

Littlest Bassfinger plays guitar, and a kind of battle of one upmanship to see who is the best guitarist has erupted between me and her tutor.

But on a Tuesday she goes to choir after school.  A few weeks ago I walked ho to collect her and as I walked past the classroom I could hear the kids singing We Are The Champions, which I thought was most excellent.

If Axl Rose came to take me on man-O-man I'd need at least a week to work up a shiver.  Ken Barlow coming at you with fists raised would be scarier.

Hold The line.  If Steve Lukather ever needs an emergency bassist then I'm his man.

Came across this one which separates them at top and bottom. Made by Quik-Lok. Andertons at £120

Nice rack 

I've been listening to Boston's Third Stage.  Tom Sholz is a notorious perfectionist and took 6 years to make it.  I listen in minute detail to the quality of the production.  Not all of the songs are up my street, but those that are really hit the spot.  In it's own way a genuine masterpiece.

I could play ten times as well as her and I'd never get the gig because I have the visual appeal of a hippo's arriss.

Chums.

"I really want to play your guitar."

"I really want to give you four stiff fingers in the throat.  It's probably best that we both go home disappointed."

I've got CCTV at home so when delivery firms say this to me I can tell them what a bunch of lying bar stewards they are.

He seems a right plum.
