overwater#1

True, I'm just trying to think if losing two basses to get a Smith, which probably won't do any more for me than my beloved Overwater 6, is justifiable. I've sold the Status, and am looking at a Sei fretless, which to be honest might provide more for me than a Smith if I'm being realistic. I'll have a think, maybe when I've finished uni and paid my debts, I'd rather get a Fodera then!!!

Whoahh, that's rather special!! One more string and were talking!! How much roughly would something like that be setting me back? Still open to offers on the Overwater, however I've seen another British bass that's got me!! To be honest, I can't rwally bare to part with it, its such a special bass... If I don't get any tempting offers, its going to stay with me! I really think a lot of it!!!!!!! Hmmm time for some thinking, seen something pretty special!!

Oops... Sorry mate! I thought you were Martin at Overwater for some reason then! I should just email them! Hope the sale goes well! Wedge 2 more strings and you got me!

Hey Mart, Do you guys still have that Progress 6 fretless in stock at the shop? Hope you're keeping well man! Best wishes, Matt p.s....sorry to nip this in on the thread.. bass looks phenomenal.... not enough strings!!!

Yeah, one day..although if I have that sorta money to spend on a bass, i'd be calling Vin Fodera!!! Very nice, would love one! Anyone, anyone interested in the Overwater 7? Cheers! Matt

Hey Gareth! Thanks for the heads up! I'll go and check that one out now... Afraid my budget is gonna be £2-2500ish! At a push! Once i've sold both basses! Thanks again mate, really appreciate all the help! Feel its going to take a lot of help to find the right bass...at the right price!! Best wishes, Matt

Anyone... Status called for, if anyone is interested in my Overwater 7? Please get in touch! Ken Smith anyone?

Thanks so much for all the comments guys! I'll get some more pics taken of the Status, its a stunning stunning bass, honestly just awesome! I'm using it at work currently, and it is superb! Half of me makes me want to keep it, however, I need to prioritise, and know what i'm after! I've already had first dibs taken on the Status! Neither are going anywhere until i've got a deal setup with a Smith however! I'll keep hunting around! I have been on Kens forum for ages, wish I had the bass to go with it!! Got feelers around, hopefully something will come up!! Hey Al! Hope you're well! Yeah, although i'm definitely after a Smith to be honest. Its that sound, i've been listening to a few of Al Turners tracks, will buy his album sometime. Great sound!! And other stuff, the old Patitucci's. I've got a selection of Melvin Davis' albums too, just awesome! Btw, Melvin is a real gent, a fantastic guy to be in touch with! Really appreciate everyones help, if anyone can help me locate a bass. I've got the Status potentially sold, just need to work on the Overwater if anyones interested? Very best wishes! Matt

Thanks Rich!! It is stunning, awesome to play.. We'll see what happens!

Hi all, I'm not sure whats triggered this, but I thought it time I attempted to live the dream, and try and get hold of what i've lustred after since I started playing the bass! I'd be so appreciative of someone being able to help me here! I'm after getting hold of a Ken Smith (USA) 5 or more string bass. [u]Prefferably a 6 string![/u]Open to different models to be honest. I'm putting up two basses that are really special to me, and I can't believe i'm even thinking of selling. I get very attached to things, especially the Overwater, but I have wanted a Smith for as long as I can remember!! So potentially for sale, or ideally for trade/p.ex are.. Status S2 Classic Headless 6 string. Graphite neck, cocobolo top, walnut/mahogany body, gold hardware. Overwater Progress Elite 7 string. AAAAA Flamed ash and maple, maple neck, gold hardware. NOW BOTH SOLD!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks so much! Very best wishes, Matt I don't know how long this thread will remain open, as I really don't want to be moving on these basses, and have only just bought the Status, but needs must!!

Jees.... well it looks like it might be sold then! Quick? Just a bit!! Wow!! Will confirm this

Aww Ste.. comeon, make an exception! Just a sec....

Hi guys, Brief topic to start with, up early for work tomorrow, so no time to go into detail. Will edit.. My friend who owns the lovely Wal ProIIE bass that i've had on long term loan has seen the light, and bought an Overwater!! So he's decided he wants to sell the Wal. He's the only owner of the bass, and its very very nice! I'll go into detail tomorrow, and post pictures I've taken...its the one in my profile pic. Just getting it up now, so people who know of this bass, and have showed interest in the past in buying it, can PM when then want, and i'll forward my friends number to call. He has a ballpark figure, which is very reasonable to be honest, but i'll leave it to discuss with him! Stunning bass, gutted to see it go, but it's not mine. If I had the money, and it had more strings!! Look forward to hearing from you, more details coming soon!!!! Best wishes, Matt Edit... He's looking for offers on £1200ish, open to offers/negotiation! I'm seeing him tomorrow, so any offers, i'll forward on to him. He's asked for me to hand out his number to interested parties also.

Trade or Part ex for Trace AH400SMX?? Plus some cabs?? You never know, I love my AH, but to have an 800w power amp racked up would be phenomenal!!

Well I have an AH400SMX Trace head.. i'd do a swap, cab(s) and head. Not sure id I want to lose the head though, its great!!!

Hmm.. thinking what I have for trade. Need any cabs? 4x10, 1x15..plus some money? Only tempting as I'm regularly in Morecambe!!

Trace Elliot AH400SMX....the predeccesor..the original!! Fancy it?

Great price!!! Stunning bass, wow!

Poo! I'm still interested in the tuner!!

Holy s**t... time to start doing the lottery again me thinks. That's... awesome!!

No worries.. I might like the rack too. How many units high is an LMII? I don't need a conditioner, but would be very interested in the tuner anyway..!

Dibs on the DTR?
