Raslee Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 (edited) TRADE PENDING Got this bass in a recent trade and it is spotless, still had the £500 price tag on it. Have gigged it and it is a sweet nice player, was going to keep it but got other equipment debts to pay off so somethings got to go to balance the books. Quality is top notch, the action is low, neck is joyous and it looks funky £250 get you this bass posted: Have used a stock pic for now as it's basically the same and new: Web info: Chris May, whose Overwater Custom Bass Guitar Brand has just celebrated its 30th anniversary last year, has teamed up with Tanglewood Guitars to create the Aspiration series range of Bass Guitars designed and overseen by the man himself. Overwater Basses are among the most revered in the world and are played by Professionals the world over in all walks of music, and Chris has been keen to bring them into a more accessible price range for some time. So what are they like? Chris has obviously looked at the other famous high end Bass builders that he shares the arena with, and looked at their approach to an affordable production instrument, think Sadowsky Metro, Ken Smith K.S.D, Lakland Skyline. When put in comparison, the Overwaters don`t disappoint! Build quality is very high, great wood choices, with bespoke hardware and pickups, and no cheap universal pattern parts used at all.
