Mornats Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 Got this 6 weeks ago but I've been moving house and have been very busy recently so not had a chance to show it off. It's an Overwater Classic J (Tanglewood-made) in CAR and is lovely. Needs some stuff done to it, I'm putting flats on it soon with a heavier gauge than what it's got so it will need a good set up. Also thinking about upgrading the pups. But I'm loving the passive P sound from it (it's the J that needs a bit more beef) as it's so different from my actives. Here it is next to my Ashdown rig: [attachment=132467:547816_10151341511146555_547234344_n.jpg] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eude Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 Nice bass matey, congrats. (Love that rig too, very classy, would love something like that myself at some point ) Eude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barkin Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Nice aren't they? I bought a used one from here, and I'm very pleased with it. Lots of bang for your bucks, IMO. Mine has a black/white/black scratchplate - not sure which I prefer... I know what you mean about the J pup - I evened mine out quite a bit by dropping the P and raising the J. I shan't be touching the P pup, as it sounds great, but I'm tempted to swap the J for one of the standard Entwhistle ones. I emailed them about it, and he replied that his standard J pup is hotter than the Overwater spec one. And they're only a tenner or so... Hope you enjoy yours as much as I do mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ead Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 The J p/up seems to be a recurring issue on these basses. One BCer I am aware of got in touch with OW and they swapped out the original fit for a new OW item that was a lot better FOC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHRISDABASS Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Lovely basses!! Played 4 of these now and all were excellent for the money! I'd throw a set of wizards in there! Cracking pickups! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
