He is awesome, a real hero of the bass I feel. I have booked tickets, me and Jazz are going without fail!

Awesome +6!

Some up to date pics as of today. Pics are missing the GB as it's down with Bernie. Rig & Overwater (Fafner now sporting the blue LED's) (sorry about my reflection in this one!) Overwater Evolution 5 Custom EBS Fafner, EBS Neoline 212 & EBS Neoline 115 Pedalboard... Boss TU2, Boss DD3, EBS Unichorus, EBS Octabass, EMMA DiscumBOBulator (with sfx made toggle), MXR Bass Blowtorch, Tech 21 XXL Bass Edition

On the way back from Bernies... Been a good day out. The 115 is all fixed and the Fafner is now sporting blue LED's We went through all the colours and it was between Blue or Gold. Blue won. My GB is staying with Bernie for a week to resolve a few neck 'issues'. There maybe a new GB project in the pipeline... But it's all a secret

Thought as much... Jazz's kicking himself for shifting it

Got me too. Sold everything I owned. Didn't even look at a bass for 18 months. Then I played one... I was like crack and I was addicted again, and far more excited by it. The break did me good

Jazz finally let it go!! Ha. This bass is awesome. Tried it and loved it. I know he was in two minds about parting as well... We are both off to see Bernie @ GB tomorrow so I'm sure I will hear a 'I miss that Bacchus' story in the car. This has an ultimate jazz bass tone, and the feel of a bass worth a goof grand over its actual cost. Top bit of kit

Mine at the mo (sorry for the bad pic)... Shep

[quote name='MythSte' post='766086' date='Mar 6 2010, 02:30 PM']Completly agree. I think schroeders are lumped in a similar deal - Yes they do have a slight mid hump, but with a little EQ they can turn into really big fat scooped monsters if thats what your after. I'd really love to try a nice big EBS rig, I've only tried a small one (1x15) Looks beautiful mate![/quote] Well if you ever end up in Nottingham, give me a shout. Always happy to accommodate other basschatters... Had mcgraham over earlier in fact!

I recently sold a BO5... The guy got a bargain as it was a beauty (pic's in my gear thread -see my sig-). I actually prefer the feel of the BO's, but where the Thumb sound is concerned I agree... I wish I still had mine as well!!!!

A 2.5k instrument could be traded for another, but would never sell for enough to buy a new 1.

Simple design but very nice curves on the body. Looks very comfy to play. Never played a 27 fretter before! One for the list of things to do :-)

[quote name='BarnacleBob' post='765476' date='Mar 5 2010, 06:43 PM']If I did that my dear sweet wife has assured me my next album will be titled 'A Castrato Christmas' BB[/quote] lol. Awesome. Not for you though obviously.

Buy it, or throw an extra 1k on top and I'll 'consider' selling you my Evolution which is even prettier :-)

On another note, last night was the longest rehearsal I had done with the Overwater... I always knew it was a heavy bass (Chris May said one of the heaviest he'd made due to all the Wenge), but my god I'm feeling it now! Heavy enough for me to consider in the back of my mind trading it for something lighter!!!! I'm sure i'll of gone off that idea by the morning though :-)

I agree completely. In fact with the current project I'm involved in I'm using the EBS a little differently, as a dirty rock amp. Quite a cut to the top end actually. A fat bottom and a little dirt in the mids. The band I'm playing with have an Ampeg SVT-2 available to them as well which I tried last night, and everyone agreed that the Fafner did the fat chunky metal sound better than the Ampeg. No slap, no zing, just fat-ass-metal-balls. The more I use it the more I learn to see how versatile it is, way beyond the pitch that EBS put out for it. I do tweek down the tweeter a little at the mo, as mentioned they are stunning and highly responsive, but the NEO cabs as a whole really fit the metal/rock sound well with there slight emphasis on a gritty bottom end.
