Top of the Mwahning to you all -
[quote name='FrederikVanDuuren' timestamp='1339892096' post='1696075'] wow any ideas on the sound? [/quote] HI Fred Sound-wise, the design brief was to have a very articulate fretless sound. The ebony fingerboard gives an almost piano-like quality to the overall sound. The body woods produce a lovely mid-range tone, growl and mwah mixed ;o) The EMG pre amp allows a quick tweak and you can go from very mellow to almost a steely bite. The neck is very smooth and so slim so it is easy to produce smooth glides! Hope that helps.

[quote name='4000' timestamp='1338734197' post='1678584'] Lovely-looking bass Pete. I tried one of Paul's basses at the last Bass Day I went to and it was arguably my bass of the day; I liked it far more than the Fodera I played. Nice bloke too. Best of luck with the sale and have a bump on me. [/quote] Have to agree, a great bass to play and really has the 'mwah-factor'

Damp Sunday morning burmp!

[quote name='BassBus' timestamp='1338646497' post='1677603'] That is very, very pretty. It's an amazing top wood too. I'd be interested to hear what it sounds like with the pickup in that position. [/quote] The sound is extremely articulate. The placement of the EMG pup is ideal for capturing the best of the bridge and neck resonance while bringing out the 'mids' nicely - just enough to provide a balance in the sound. With the eq flat the bass's 'natural' tone is tight, with well defined highs and lows. A touch of bass and you get that mellow 'mwah'. The treble requires just a slight tweak and you can get a very bright, almost twang to the bass! However, there is one drawback .... me! Due to a long term neck and should injury the bass just 'sits' slightly out of alignment for my dodgy shoulder. I've tried various strap/strap-pin arrangements but haven't yet discovered a suitable position that alleviates my problem. If I cannot find a solution that is both practical and suitable then the bass just might be available for someone who is 'normal' PM me if anyone wants to show any interest.

Well folks, it's finally arrived! Sounds as good as it looks too 'Mwahvellous'...

Bob bought my Limited Edition P bass. What a great bloke and such a wealth of knowledge too! Many thanks, Bob. May you long enjoy your music laden retirement

Completed a trade with Bassman '94. Great communications and a great bloke to deal with. Cheers, Manraj.

This is my very recently acquired Overwater Perception Deluxe 5. It's beautiful bass, sounds absolutely fantastic, is fairly light for a 5 string - approx 9lbs (a tad over but difficult to judge on dodgy scales). But, and it's a big but, it's a 35" scale and that is causing me problems. This bass - and the Precision I have advertised - are the last of my basses that either weight too much for me or are too long in scale. The bass is pristine, copies with an embossed Overwater hard case and is sublime in every detail.

Apologies for the 'quick' bump, but I have just seen the lightweight bass of my dreams. So, if someone is interested in a cash sale, I will accept [b]£895[/b] (no offers) - trade value remains the same. Thanks. -
This is about the last bass from my herd that I'm looking to sell I've recently began to sell any of my basses that, because of their weight, aggravate a neck injury. So, the [b]Fender USA 60th Limited Anniversary Edition Precision Bass, [/b]with a maple neck and fingerboard weighs in at 9lb.

Looking to sell (preferably) or possibly trade this very lovely looking - and sounding. I took the bass as a trade but, unfortunately, although it's a great bass it just isn't for me. The craftsmanship is superb, as you would expect, and the attention to detail is first rate. The neck is very slim (jazz) and is so easy to play. The body is nicely shaped and balances perfectly whether sitting or standing. The tonal range is vast! It has a active/passive system (pull volume for passive) and the eq is so easy to use to find the sound you're looking for!

[quote name='scojack' timestamp='1337853135' post='1666298'] Looking good...a deep set bolt on too..interesting configuration, whats your thoughts behind this ? [/quote] Thoughts were basically to have a single pup with a deep set bolt-on to go for the mwaaah factor The resonance and sustain should be superb and the EMG pre & pup will be a great match. Flexing the fingers already!!
