Kees_SoS Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Why has the bridge been installed diagonally? For intonation purposes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil625sxc Posted February 7, 2013 Author Share Posted February 7, 2013 No, just to use the existing holes from the previous bridge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blondino Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Hi there. I'm potentially interested. A few questions: What is the scale length? String spacing at bridge? What is the fretboard made from? Can you tell me more about the markers? Are they part of the woodwork or slotted in? How much does the bass weigh? Thanks.

phil625sxc Posted February 22, 2013 Author Share Posted February 22, 2013 Hi, thanks for the enquiry - here's the info from the ad which should answer almost all of your questions: [b] Overwater Progress III Deluxe 35" scale fretless 6-string (Pre-Owned)[/b] Overwater 6 string fretless Progress III deluxe, custom built in February 2009. Brazilian Cocobolo top with matching headstock. Tone wood is a European Walnut with a maple veneer separating the two. Ebony fretboard with maple lines, and a 5-piece maple/walnut through-neck. Full over top on the Cocobolo which adds to the sustain. Locking jack AND xlr output for extended connectivity options. It has a stunning pre-amp with plenty of headroom with bass, mid and treble boost/cut knobs, pick-up blend and output volume with a push/pull bright switch. It’s a custom John East made for Overwater. Bass usually set at 14hz, mid at 250hz +/-10db and high at 3khz +/- 12db. There’s also a pull switch which adds attack at 5khz. The clarity on the lower notes is incredible, and must be heard to be fully realised. Pickups are custom made for OW. They are dual coil with bar pole piece as one long strip of steel, with the rear pickup having slightly more output. Since being custom made in ‘09, the owner has replaced the bridge with a fully adjustable Schaller so that the string spacing can be changed – apart from that and straplocks it is as it left Chris May’s hands. Although it weighs in at over 11.5 lbs it’s one of those basses that balances really well on a strap and doesn’t feel as heavy when playing. A new one would cost around £3000, so this represents very good value for such a lovely hand-crafted instrument. Gator hardcase. the only thing i don't know is about the markers - maybe drop the guys ar bass gear a line, they will be able to tell you straight away. Thanks, Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

binky_bass Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 The bridge is a bit of a curiosity... If the bass was made and designed from a flat level bridge, would installing a bridge at an angle not throw off the intonation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil625sxc Posted June 20, 2013 Author Share Posted June 20, 2013 not that I found, plus after I had changed it I sent it down to the Gallery for a set up, just to be on the safe side - I have the original bridge if you want that with it ?
