Kees_SoS Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I've advertised this bass before, but I was initially only interested in a sale. However, I've since changed my mind and would now also consider a trade for the right bass (with a cash adjustment either way if applicable). More info on possible trades is provided below.[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]The bass is a 2006 custom Overwater Progress III Deluxe six-string, which I had built in 2006. I'm selling it for two reasons, namely injury and the fact that the band I used it in folded in 2009. Since then, it's spent most of its time in the case. For those couple of years of use, though, it served me extremely well. The B-string is very tight, thanks to the 35" scale, and is still sufficiently defined when dropped to A with the Hipshot.[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]The bass is in excellent condition.[/font][/color] [u]Specs[/u] [color=#000000][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][font=arial][size=3]String spacing: 18mm Scale length: 35" Maple neck with rosewood skunk stripes Fretboard: rosewood Front of body: cocobolo (bookmatched 'full-over top') Back of body: mahogany Machine heads: Gotoh (gold) Bridge: Overwater Electronics: Overwater Pickups: Kent Armstrong Hipshot Extender Key Straplocks: Jim Dunlop [/size][/font][/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Photos can be found here:[/font][/color] [url="http://imageshack.us/g/718/1267433050l.jpg/"]http://imageshack.us...267433050l.jpg/[/url] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I recently contacted Overwater to find out what it would cost to have an equivalent bass built now, and with the various custom options it would be EUR 4336.00 / GBP 3584.00.[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I'm looking for GBP 1600.00 or the equivalent in euros. The bass comes with a moulded plastic case. [/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]As regards a trade, I'd be particularly interested in a [b]fretless pre-Ernie Ball Music Man StingRay[/b], provided it's in good and all-original condition. Further options I would consider include a [b]fretted pre-EB Stingray, fretted or fretless pre-EB Sabre, a Cutlass I or II, [/b]or perhaps a[b] five-string unlined fretless Wal.[/b][/font][/color] Although I'm based in Amsterdam, the bass will be with may parents in Crewe as of early July, unless someone purchases it in the meantime.

Kees_SoS Posted July 2, 2012 Author Share Posted July 2, 2012 Unless I sell it here in the Netherlands within the next few days, this bass will be over in England (Crewe) with my parents as of next week. Cheers, Kees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kees_SoS Posted October 12, 2012 Author Share Posted October 12, 2012 This bass is now back on sale at Overwater in Carlisle at GBP 1600. The sale fell through due to a problem on the buyer's side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
