+1 love those 9050CLs.

Thanks kingforaday, I haven't noticed that Thomann sold them. Strap-wise I have acquired a very nice strap from our own walbassman on here.

[size=5]For sale is this rather lovely Overwater by Tanglewood Aspiration Elite ([/size][size=5]top of the range[/size][size=5]) bass. The top is a lush slice of dark Wenge on an Ash body.

Year of manufacture is 2011.[/size] [size=5]The bass is in excellent condition with no blemishes to the finish that I can detect and has just been re-strung with a brand new set of Ernie Ball Slinky nickel wound strings in 40/55/75/100 gauges.[/size] [size=5]The bass comes with a Sumo gig bag and I'm looking for £350 which I think represents excellent value for money for an instrument[/size][size=5] of this quality[/size][size=5].[/size] [color=#0000cd][size=5][u]Specification:[/u][/size][/color] [color=#0000cd][size=5]Body - Wenge top on White Ash[/size][/color] [color=#0000cd][size=5]Neck[/size][/color][color=#0000CD][size=5] - [/size][/color][color=#0000cd][size=5]3-piece Maple, bolt on[/size][/color] [color=#0000cd][size=5]Fretboard[/size][/color][color=#0000CD][size=5] - [/size][/color][color=#0000cd][size=5]Rosewood[/size][/color] [color=#0000cd][size=5]Tuners[/size][/color][color=#0000CD][size=5] - [/size][/color][color=#0000cd][size=5]Gotoh style mini[/size][/color] [color=#0000cd][size=5]Bridge[/size][/color][color=#0000CD][size=5] - [/size][/color][color=#0000cd][size=5]Overwater heavy duty[/size][/color] [color=#0000cd][size=5]Pickups[/size][/color][color=#0000CD][size=5] - [/size][/color][color=#0000cd][size=5]2 x Overwater soap-bars[/size][/color] [color=#0000cd][size=5]Electronics[/size][/color][color=#0000CD][size=5] - [/size][/color][color=#0000cd][size=5]Overwater active 3-band EQ[/size][/color] [color=#0000cd][size=5]Controls[/size][/color][color=#0000CD][size=5] - [/size][/color][color=#0000cd][size=5]Volume (pull for bright) / Pan / Treble / Mid / Bass[/size][/color] [size=5]This bass is the top of their entry level range and benefits from full Overwater design and components whilst being built in the far east to keep costs down.

[quote name='Lowender' timestamp='1360427797' post='1970236'] You're entitled to your own opinion, but not to your own facts. Sgt Pepper is considered the first psychedelic/prog album. It was released before the Moddy Blues ever had an album out. [/quote] If memory serves the Moody's released their first album in 1965. Days of Future Passed was released a few month after Sgt. Pepper..

Four strings are quite sufficient for me unless I'm playing my 5-string air bass, but that can be a bit tricky due to the added complexity

Still heard nothing from Minotaur despite charic's intervention.

OK spec. finalised. I took some inspiration from sk8's ACG bass and, always mindful of GreeneKing's comments on that very same thread, here's my spec.: Body: Wenge top on Alder Neck: 3-piece Maple with Maple board, 34" scale fretted Black hardware PB single split coil p/up ACG EQ02 3k The body was one that Alan had available: [attachment=127331:Graft Finn Special body Wenge top Zebrano veneer.jpg]

[quote name='Ashborygirl' timestamp='1360609659' post='1973357'] You just have to look in the for sale section to see "good" 70s Jazz basses with pickup routes that look like Ozzy Osbourne did them with a spoon. [/quote] Is he allowed metal objects now?

My amp has a -10dB pad button that takes care of most of the difference in output, then just a bit of tweaking on the on-board volume knob.

It was inevitable, don't fight it!
-
That does indeed sound like an awesome (sorry, but had to be said) bass. Looking forward to the pics...

[quote name='paul_5' timestamp='1360487485' post='1970989'] actually, just throw a stick... [/quote]

Steady, steady. Just sorting out the spec as I was given certain budgetary restrictions, however Alan has been incredibly helpful. I'll share soon!

Just sold some straplocks to Paul. Prompt payment, really easy deal and a pleasure doing business with him.
-
Looking forward to that review dood.

I use a fretless as much as possible. I still have the fretted ones that I use in some of the dodgier pubs we play in as a couple of them are at the low end value wise compared to the fretless basses I have.

[quote name='xilddx' timestamp='1360284418' post='1968232'] When you are given a new song to write a line for, how quickly do they usually come to you. How do you go about the process of writing your lines? Do your lines get changed? [/quote] Interesting poll. Our band works on a pretty collaborative basis so somebody will bring along an idea be it a riff a chorus a couple of lines of lyrics and then we try and work out how to turn it into a tune we like. We often have one of those in you pocket type recording things to capture ideas. The song will evolve over 3 or 4 practices by which time it will either be a keeper or one that goes to the bottom of the pile for more thought. Could have used a few more options on the 'sort' of music as I think ours is neither simple nor complex - depending of course on how you define simple and complex.

A deposit has been paid to a gentleman in the Moffat area. Details to follow. I knew that taking Mrs ead to the MBB was an inspired idea

That will be a 'No' then

I have a P/J, a J/J and an H/H and once owned an J/MM and to my ears they are all distinctively different. I can imagine that a P/H might be pretty similar to an H/H, and I wonder if that is the reason that there appear to be proportionally less of them about.

[quote name='xilddx' timestamp='1360340854' post='1969018'] For me there's no such thing as a guilty pleasure, if I like it I like it and I'm never ashamed to say so. [/quote] Absolutely. Taste is such a personal thing, and imho there's no such thing as good/bad taste.
