It’s the tight string spacing that particularly draws me, within the whole Overwater package. Deep regret for selling my PJ! Only after 4 string.

Anyone thinking about parting with theirs? Narrowly missed on one and now have the hunger!

Here’s how it sounds through the Headway into a Focusrite
-
Back from the gig. Noisy. Bad venue layout with poor PA and no monitors. Classic battle between chatty punters (restaurant/bar) and band trying to hear ourselves. BUT, by the second set I was VERY happy with the sound through my amp. The Headway was incredibly helpful - there were a few tunes where the pickup needed to be more present in the mix, but some where the mic was sufficient alone. More trial and error needed, but I won't be getting rid of this mic and am looking forward to a series of gigs with a quieter swing band in August.

This doesn’t appear to ever become much of a hot topic! For what it’s worth (5 and a half years since the last post unless there’re other threads), and I can’t offer much of a technical perspective, it’s a bloody lovely mic. For recording. I have a gig in a few days at a notoriously bad sound venue with a jazz quintet including loud drums. I’m going to blend it with a Fishman Full Circle using a Headway EDB 2 HE. Acoustic image Clarus SL and GK can. I’m hoping to get away using the piezo minimally. I’ll report back.

Working on that upright sound.

Continuing to work on getting that upright sound.

Finding it hard to maintain practice discipline on the double bass

It has arriveth!!! Here's how it sounds

I’m HOPING within a couple of weeks!

These strings are gold - old ones Jon is using to set the saddle. I’m going for blacks. Custom ‘S’ knobs look pretty cool I reckon.

A wee note on string height. As an upright player (with a medium string height set up on my acoustic), I tend to find bass guitar setups a little low. In fact my previous Shuker was definitely low, with less responsiveness than I’d like, and bit of a clacky sound. I raised things a bit with the truss rod, but the piezo bridge on the Artist models isn’t adjustable. I remember someone describing something similar So, my last request to Jon prior to assembly was to put in a couple of “feet” under the bridge. I cannot wait to hear how this bass sounds.

Yes! I’ve finally updated the thread, it’s sounding like Jon has been crazy busy. I’ve never been in a hurry for this though and it’s great that Jon’s getting so much work.

Almost complete! Body being lacquered and hopefully only a few weeks away from completion.
