Thanks Mark. It's a superb instrument.

Thank you. It really is a beautiful instrument and it's in mint condition too.

New short scale bass incoming so this needs to go to fund it. Now £2250 I never thought I would have to do this but since I ruptured my shoulder falling off a ladder, which resulted in a replacement shoulder operation, I struggle to play 34" scale basses for any length of time. I have therefore had to move to short scale basses and so I am selling some of my long scale instruments. So here is my 2018 Overwater Progress Series IV through neck 34” scale four string made for me by those brilliant guys in Carlisle. The body wood is ash with a walnut top and matching headstock and rosewood fingerboard. Hardware, pickups and preamp are Overwater’s own brand. Controls are volume and blend with a three band EQ. The volume knob has a push/pull application that brightens up the sound. When I had the bass made for me in 2018 I asked for the body to be chambered with the result that it weighs a mere 7.5lbs. It is a great instrument, in excellent condition, and comes with a Hiscox unbranded hard case. Sorry to see this one go but needs must I'm afraid. I must be realistic about it and accept that my limitations are not going to improve and it should go to someone who can make full use of it. The price new would be well in excess of £3,500 so I think I’m asking a fair price for it – but the market will decide I suppose. Payment by bank transfer and collection from Leeds although I am prepared to meet up within a reasonable distance from Leeds if that helps.

I could meet you half way if that would help?

How far away - not Egypt?

Hi Karabass The weight is 9lbs on my luggage scales. Regards Peter

I wouldn't trust them either Craig!

It puzzles me, too. It's a beautiful instrument with playability to match. I'm not going to reduce the price any further as I would rather keep it in case my shoulder improve. I'll just sit it out in the meantime.

Have a great holiday!

Thanks Pete. Hope you and Hazel are keeping well.

These are great amps. I love mine. Good luck with the sale.

Thank you kind sir!

***NOW £900*** Since I ruptured my shoulder I can no longer play a 34" scale bass for any length of time. As such I have moved to short scale basses. So here is my 2016 American Pro 4 string Jazz in Olympic White with maple fretboard and tort pick guard. It is a great instrument, in excellent condition, and comes with the original Fender hard case and strap locks. Sorry to see this one go but needs must I'm afraid. I must be realistic about it and accept my limitations. Payment by bank transfer and collection from Leeds although I am prepared to meet up within 50 miles of Leeds.

These are great cabs. I have two and use them stacked for a great sound. In spite of shoulder and back problems I can carry one in each hand when loading in and out with no problem. This is a great price too. Good luck with the sale.

I agree but I don't really have the packaging available and I have this dread of couriers and some of the horror stories I hear.

I run a Streamliner 900 into two Vanderkley 112EXT cabs with absolutely no problem. It's a great amp. GLWTS

I bought these for my new short scale (30") bass but after only a couple of rehearsals I realised that I prefer round wounds so they are up for sale in very good condition. Cut for 4 a side (like a Fender headstock). £40 posted UK or collect from Leeds to save £5.00. Now £30 plus postage

Thanks Si They certainly will love it. Just needs to connect with the right buyer.

Hi JPJ You wouldn't be disappointed.

Hi Si It weighs in at 9lbs 12oz. Feels about average - if not slightly less - for a jazz bass? Regards Pete

Quite right Paddy top notch build.

Hi M It's Crafted in Indonesia, plays beautifully and sounds superb.

PRICE DROP TO £700 For sale is my Lakland Skyline 44-60 in black with rosewood finger board. I had a black pickguard made to match as I like the black-on-black look. I am including the original minted white pickguard in the sale. I have had the bass from new and I have looked after it ever since. As such it is in excellent condition. Also included is a gear4music hard shell case. Only selling as I'm looking to fund a short scale bass of similar value. I'm not willing to post this but would happily meet up within 50 miles of Leeds or arrange for the buyer to collect.
