    I've just got a TE Elf with one of the new 2x8 cabs. It's nuts. Keeps up with a drummer (in rehearsals anyway), and sounds lovely. The whole thing is about the size of two shoeboxes. I remember when something putting out 200 watts that would be loud enough to keep up with a drummer was essentially, a wardrobe. AND a two man lift.

    Whats the scale length please Rhys?

    The picture that they have with the online ad is a US made device. So if they are advertising the amp as one thing and selling a device which is different, thats mis- selling surely?

    So, whats the difference then- if indeed there is a difference- between the "Primary" bass and the 'Precise' bass? These Aria's are generally phenomenal machines, the two I have knock spots of many a genuine US P that I've owned. A great buy at a very fair price for someone. GLWTS.

    Thats a lot of cash for a bass that Jaco may have played 'for sure'.

    Hello Al, Does this do decent synth pad sounds at all? Thanks

    Interesting basses these. I have a very early one- 1980 according to the man- and the shape is actually quite different. The top bout on mine is much more pointy, this one is quite rounded. There is a routered rebate around the top of mine, which has disappeared here, the pickups have moved (on the earlier basses the neck pickup was further towards the erm...neck), they have changed make (from Bill Lawrence blades to the Kent Armstrongs on this one) and the early ones had a passive tone circuit, whereas this one is active. The bridge on mine is a schaller, same as this, so maybe the one with the Overwater branded bridge is a very late one? Or did they change, then change back for some obscure eighties supply related issue? Who knows..... Anyway, fascinating. You have a lovely looking bass there. Shame these don't attract the same cachet as Wal's, otherwise someone would probably have paid you £240,000,000 for it twelve seconds after you put the advert up. 😂

    Really lovely, unusual bass Steve. Won't be around long I'm sure. GLWTS.

    Terrifying. He has done a lovely job of screening the cavity though, fair play.😁

    Bloody lovely. Pm'd.

    I did as it goes, and as others have noted on here previously, what a charming and helpful gent he is. I need a 5/16's spanner (same size as Gibson, apparently), and Chris was also able to give me a potted history of the bass, which is apparently a very early one which he dated at 1980 because of the rebate around the body, the Bill Lawrence pickups and the fact that it's passive. He also gave me some sage advice on adjusting the rod, which was very cool. I've included a pic of the bass below.

    Morning all, I have an Overwater bass- I believe its an 'Artisan'- it's a version of their classic shape with a carved top. The truss rod needs some adjustment and I was wondering if anyone knew what size tool I need (fnar fnar). The truss rod nut has the hex on the outside, so I'll need one of those skinny box spanners- I'm sure someone will tell me the correct name! Thanks! Stuart

    Cheers Pete. I'm on it!

    Well, one of the chaps said he didn't have a spray booth at the mo (just moved apparently- so totally fair enough) and the other didn't reply to my messages, which was a bit boring. Still, to paraphrase the always relevant David St Hubbins, in the hurly burly world of rock n' roll, these things happen...;0)

    drew a blank with all of these suggestions I'm afraid. Anyone got any other names? Thnx.
  25. W1_Pro
    +1 to that. Completely brilliant instruments. I'm sorely tempted.
