GreeneKing Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 This is where I feel I can put my gear in my signature without it becoming a tad embarrassing. Today saw me wave goodbye to 3 and say hello to one. I've actually got more basses than this but my fretless Jazz and Peavey T-40 are up for sale (and need to be sold - hint) and the Bass Collection is awaiting sale confirmation. Having unexpectedly gained the Overwater I'm feeling very much the Northern man I'm going to be putting the 1990 NT Thumb 4 up for sale soon having aquired the Overwater and I've not mentioned the 2 Rics which are very much put away to fondle occasionally and hope that they don't drop too far in value over the years. Yes its a good feeling having less basses for some strange reason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Funk Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Sounds like quite a collection. The only embarrassment I see is an embarrassment of riches! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreeneKing Posted March 13, 2009 Author Share Posted March 13, 2009 Well, the overwater? There was me aware that Ed (Edstraker123) had a rather 'delish' Overwater up for sale and me having 5 assorted very nice basses likewise. Ed put a plan together and it was 3 out 1 in (plus some financial inducement my way). I think only having 3 playing basses means I bond with them more if that makes any sense. I will photo the Overwater I promise. I've put nickels on it (DR Sunbeams) done the intonation and managed to go 2 full turns down on all the saddles still with no hint of clank or buzz. It's really nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farmer61 Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 I remember this point as well, was in 2002 when I Finally got a proper bass (imo) a Fender Jazz Mex as opposed to all the cheaper basses I owned in the past. That bass helped give me the confidence to go and gig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
