claustra Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Hello, Up for sale is this Overwater Contemporary J4 jazz bass handmade in Carlisle in 2010. Asking £1200, including shipping in the original Hiscox case.. [sharedmedia=core:attachments:249950] [sharedmedia=core:attachments:249949] [sharedmedia=core:attachments:249948] [sharedmedia=core:attachments:249947] [sharedmedia=core:attachments:249946] [sharedmedia=core:attachments:249945] More photos are available online here (poor light conditions): [url="https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B6qjYr_H2cqIcUhRenZhU1Y3Tk0?usp=sharing"]https://drive.google...Tk0?usp=sharing[/url] Ash body Maple neck (thin neck profile) Highly figured birdseye maple fingerboard 2 soapbars with balance knob 3 band active EQ Treble boost Ultralight hipshot tuners Set with 45-105 DR sunbeam strings. I bought it from basschat member TheGreek a while ago, and it still is in the same pristine condition, with just a tiny chip on the headstock. This is a superb bass, very sensitive, with great dynamics. The balance knob allows endless tone possibilities, and the electronics can get very loud. I'm selling it as I am focusing on precision style basses these days (Yamaha BB1200s being one of them !) Would consider trades with a Mesa Boogie Walkabout 12 combo, or part exchange + cash with a good quality 1x12 cab (Aguilar, Epifani, Mesa Boogie, Glockenklang, Bergantino...) or compact 2x10 I'm based in Northern France, just accross the Channel.

claustra Posted July 26, 2017 Author Share Posted July 26, 2017 The weight is around 4,5kg or 4,7kg, not a lightweight instrument. I'll try to check precisely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

claustra Posted July 26, 2017 Author Share Posted July 26, 2017 Oh yes it is, really fast glossy finish, thin but not void profile, loads of resonance, perfectly centered cut at the back, heavy birdseye fretboard, superb binding works and junction with body. I can praise this one as it is not mine anymore ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
