Hi folks,

I've got my Overwater Evolution 5 string Deluxe Fretted bass for sale ([color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]RRP on the current model, [i]from[/i] £2495 [/font][/color][url="http://overwaterbasses.com/uploads/price_list/overwater_price_list_gbp.pdf"]http://overwaterbass...ce_list_gbp.pdf[/url][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]). The tread that I bought it via is this one, [/font][/color][url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/193163-super-cheap-overwater-evolution/page__hl__overwater%20evolution"]http://basschat.co.u...ter%20evolution[/url]

I got this superbly made instrument a month or so ago but I'm trying my best to get down to 2 basses and this isn't one of them unfortunately. However saying that if it doesn't go I'm sure I'll manage!

The scale is 35", string spacing is about 18mm at the bridge and it weighs 9.8 lbs.

The sound is fairly bright when set to flat, but can be made nice and rotund using the 3 band EQ. I've also currently strung it with a set of flats.

I did notice the neck has been shimmed to achieve a medium/low action, however it looks to me like it was done from the factory when it was set up there.

The neck is nice and straight with a gentle fall off on the last few frets, a really nice touch that helps with getting a lower action.

The jack is a locking neutrik one, tuners are nice and smooth and it's in generally good condition, however it does have a few marks here and there.

The finish is Transpurple, this is a really dark see-through purple finish that in normal light looks nearly black, however with lights on it etc the colour comes through more.

A link to the most recent Evolution model can be found here, [url="http://overwaterbasses.com/basses/evolution/"]http://overwaterbass...sses/evolution/[/url], the specs are similar but not identical as it is not the current model year.

The build quality of Overwater basses is really impressive. I've had a fair few basses in my time from some nice companies and I think this is pretty much the top one in terms of build quality and attention to detail, impressive stuff indeed .

An Absolutely Lovely sounding Bass in Great condition.
Buy with Condiments
...Confidence that is!

That control cavity is a work of art in itself. Lovely attention to detail.

[JamesFlashG]

how come only £695? that does not seem right for this bass

[JamesFlashG]

I see, well i'm looking for a nice 5 string but cant decide if it will play much better than my BTB676 (not to fond of the 6 strings) but I use it for the B string - I Imagine the overwater will be better but how to tell i have never played one..... hmm

[JamesFlashG]

any idea what wood the body is made out of?

[LukeFRC]

crikey seems a looow price! good luck, you know how much more tempting an advert looks when you see it's probably not far from you....!

[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]TTT, had a couple of offers for postal sales but I'm still holding out for a collection, at least for the moment anyhow. Again I'm only selling it at this price as I don't like things hanging around. It is truly a high quality British handmade bass at a [/font][/color][i]very[/i][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif] reasonable price, and I also like to pass on any bargains I've had on here [/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]. [/font][/color]
[/quote] I could collect... but couldn't pay.
Unless you wanted an electric guitar i've got hanging around doing bout
