jdizzle Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 (edited) Hi guys, Since getting a new ACG, the Overwater isn't getting much attention so I'm looking to trade it for a fretless. The Overwater itself is in close to mint condition save for the smallest of marks on the headstock. No marks on the body and everthing else is in perfect working order. In terms of trades, I'm pretty open. My preference would be for a lined 5er with a 34" scale neck but any kind of fretless may be of interest. The full specs are:[list] [*]Walnut body [*]Burl alder top [*]3pc maple neck [*]Maple fretboard [*]Overwater pick-ups and pre (the Overwater pre's are made by John East and the pick-ups are wound by Aarron Armstrong) [*]Ebony playing ramp (fitted by the Bass Gallery in London and is detachable) [*]24 fret [*]Hipshot tuners and bridge [/list] The pre is a 3band and there is also a bright boost function which is accessed by pulling up the volume knob. Any questions, let me know. I'm based in London. Cheers, J. Edited January 6, 2012 by jdizzle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In terms of a selling price, I'd be looking for around £950 which would include a hiscox case. Although, looking at the selling price of some other Overwaters at the moment, I'd be hard pushed to get that. J.

Ziphoblat Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 It's a long shot, but I don't suppose I could interest you with my [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/161639-ebmm-usa-02-rosewood-3eq-stingray-price-drop/"]Stingray[/url] plus a bit of cash?

TorVic Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Don't think I could afford the cash price unless I sell one of my basses to raise more funds. I am not too familiar with Overwater basses. Are these single coil PUPs? In terms of the sound, how close (or far) would this one be to a Fender Marcus Miller (MIJ) Jazz bass? (I know that it is a bit of a stretch - the only thing I see in common is the Maple fretboard.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Trying to describe tone is never an easy thing but what I would say is that the Overwater certainly doesn't sound like a jazz bass. The pick-ups themselves are a dual coil humbucking design wired in parrallel I'm guessing; very modern and transparent tone that doesn't colour ones sound. Just a great sounding bass really and the maple board does give it a sharp snap when slapping. Combine that with the bright boost function by pulling up the treble control and you'll be funkin' for Jamaica in no time Unfortunately I don't have any sound clips but I did use it on a recording session recently enough which might give an idea of how it sits in a mix.

TorVic Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Hi J, Those are some neat tunes (especially Borderline) and very good recordings too! Thanks for sharing it. I really like the sound of the bass in it. I am going to give a serious think about it. Cheers, Vic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're in North London, feel free to come round and have a play if you like. I'm in Hoxton and make a decent cuppa. J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westie9 Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 I had one, absolutely great. It developed a fault but Chris May was more than happy to sort it out for me. Great back-up service. If I had the cash, I'd snap it off you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
