  1. [quote name='martthebass' post='628213' date='Oct 16 2009, 07:03 PM']Excuse the crap flash photography.

    Front - Claro Walnut with matching headstock
    Back - Spanish Cedar

    3 piece maple neck with ebony unlined fretless board

    Build completed Sept 2008.

    Pickup combo and pre like the set you've spec'd.

    I know to keep costs down the standard finish is satin - but I think the woods on this would have benefitted from a Status-esque deep poly gloss (probably wouldn't have done much for the sound tho). The bass is very light - I guess about 7 lbs (about the same as my Streamline), but balances nicely.[/quote]


    Wonderful Finish you've got there :)
    Those guys at Overwater are amazing!
    I'm still waiting on some pictures from Chris... Hopefully They come soon :rolleyes:

    But He said that the bass should be sent this week.

    I was considering the fretless but just couldn't do it :lol:

    Thanks!

    My opinion on Tone and sound:

    The Tone of this bass is absolutley amazing so versatile for any player even tho it looks metal... You can get an awesome Slap tone from it smile.gif
    great Fat sound...

    Retail stuff:
    At retail price this bass was bought for £549 from Turnkey last year (london)

    Do I'd say I gave the schecter a good 6 months of playing... because I bought a Fender Jazz and just fell in love with it :)

    No Fret ware and a great condition on the body.
