Hi guys,
recently acquired this lovely example in a trade, but I realised it’s got very similar feel and sound to another bass that I already own so this one will have to go.
33” scale, flat fretboard - it’s by far the fastest neck I’ve ever played. Action is ridiculously low (can easily be set higher if you prefer).
I played a couple of gigs with it and imho it’s the easiest bass to play due to the shorter scale, my hands were thanking me after
Can be strung either C to E or G to B, I have it to B at the moment and it’s one of the tightest B’s I’ve ever heard. Very punchy, really nice low mid growl.
I believe the string spacing at the bridge is 16.5 mm
It has the John East 5 knob preamp fitted which is one of the most versatile preamps out there.
Correct me if I’m wrong but looking at Overwater’s website, this one would cost over £3200 to build at the moment.
As as far as I can see there’s no marks or dents on it.
I’d be interested in trades for other 5 sting basses - Lakland, Dingwall, Zon, and I would pay extra £’s for a Ken Smith or anything interesting with higher value.
I would be extremely interested in a trade for a Scott Ambush bass but I know that’s a long shot - these are rarer than a hen’s teeth.
I’m based in West London but I travel often for gigs, and I would drive for the right trade.
Here’s a link to Scott playing and reviewing it himself.
Thanks,
Steff
