Just lovely, hope you find a solid 34” replacement for them. These will make someone very happy for sure.

These look outrageously good for the bargain price!  I can't play 35" scale either (that's probably fortunate!)

I can play them (badly), but it hurts the next day....

Bridge string width on both is 28mm.

I understand that it hurts a lot. 😉

Possible trade, Warwick Thumb 5, NT, fretted or (preferably) fretless. That's a two for one deal..

[Oldman]

Just to clarify the excellent workmanship on these two Basses. They are (as you can see) Neck Through, that’s an NT Bass for less than the price of other U.K. Luthier’s Bolt On Necks.... great playability, similar Neck profile to a Thumb NT.

Truss rod cover is magnetic and looks great.

 

As is the ‘Gubbins’ cover on the rear of the Bass.

Fretted:

 

And Fretless

 

You really have no excuse have a closer look and choose your pick. 

I’m open to trades with cash, maybe a BOGOF deal on a suitable 34” 5iver (Fretless) or May be a ‘D’ class head with matching cab. Try me🤔

Thanks for looking.

Just a note: I would prefer to meet and xchange on both these basses, I would ship within the U.K. Mainland but it would be at “buyers risk” and cost. They are hardcased and would be well packed, they are too good to end up as matchwood in the back of a couriers van.

 

[Oldman]

I forgot to mention, the Fretless has a chambered body which adds to its acoustic presence immensely. 

Two immaculate basses for less than the price of one..... What’s not to like?

Once again, I’ll take a Fretless, 34” (unlined) fiver in a part chop or a Class ‘D’ head and cab or combo. 

This is a chance to get a matched pair and transition yourself across to Fretless!

Thanks for looking

Guys, I understand your trepidation, over the last 12 years I’ve commisioned two Overwater NT Progress 3’s, owned a Progress 3 6ixer (briefly) and these two are of a comparable build quality and playability. I still have a ‘twinset’ of OW’s, fretted and Fretless, it’s the 35” scale that’s the issue not the weight , looks or sound.

I am open to audacious (not too silly) offers of trades/cash.

Try me. Try them more to the point

🤔

[Oldman]

2 for 1 trade guys, my 2 for your 1 

try me

PRICE REDUCTION: £1,400.00 For both.

Just for clarification purposes. I am prepared to take partial/trade on either one or both of these basses, that’s partial, not I hasten to add all trade, cash is a requirement. Your trade has to be realistically priced with snaps and history. But, I am open to ‘negotiation’

Thank you

Trade options, Class ‘D’ head with lightweight cab(s). Try me for trades 😎

[Oldman]

Back to “My 2 for your 1”, prefer unlined 34” Fretless, but try me.

Or, straight sale at £1,300.00  for both, or £700.00 priced individually.

Thanks for looking
