pantherairsoft Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 (edited) I finally have my dream set up. its taken 6 months of being very poor and working up through a few amps, buying and selling to get what I have but here goes.... Overwater Evolution Custom (Many of you will of seen this a million times in the Overwater Forum here on Bass Chat) MarkBass 106HF (needs some new rubber feet and casters but other wise perfect) MarkBass SA450 Head Pedal Train 2 holding some sexy effects. All together I'm sure you will all agree it looks quite pretty! Shep Edited March 6, 2011 by pantherairsoft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pantherairsoft Posted August 12, 2009 Author Share Posted August 12, 2009 (edited) Hi guys, the effects run... Boss TU-2 -> Ashdown Lomenzo Hyperdrive -> Boss Bass Flanger -> Boss Bass Chorus -> EHX Bass Micro Synth -> Boss DD3 Delay The bass is actually Wenge (dark brown with a strong visible grain) rather than black, but the lighting has not shown it well :-) As for rig size... yeah its quite large... cab is the same hight as the bass almost exactly... irony is I don't have a car at all and I'm only 5'4"... yay!

(snigger - except I'm 5'7 and 3/4, and dont forget the 3/4, so I stick to a 410 so I can reach the amp with only one beer crate to stand on) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7string Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 (edited) I have to admit that I always find Overwater's a bit bland. But yours is definitely the exception. Edited August 12, 2009 by 7string Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ped Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Really like the contrasting top and sides on the Overwater - kind of makes it look like a caramel slice or millionaire's shortbread as some folk call them! Either way, good enough to eat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pantherairsoft Posted December 26, 2009 Author Share Posted December 26, 2009 (edited) Hi people, It's been a while since I added to this... so here is my new arrival... GB Spitfire Duck-Egg Blue with god-knows-what colour scratch plate :-) Ash body Tiger-Stripe Maple neck Indian Rosewood Board Chrome and Matt Grey hardware 19mm string spacing, 35" scale Crazy GB Electronics, including the Metronome and Tuner upgrades It's worth noting that due to lighting the Spitfire appears quite different in terms of how 'bright' the blue is on various shots... The second and third shots (body front close ups) are the most accurate... the others border on electric blue which the bass is actually quite far from.

pantherairsoft Posted December 26, 2009 Author Share Posted December 26, 2009 (edited) Also some pics of my current collection at the mo... My amp/cab situation is due to change soon so will update all as my Markbass 106HF has now sold, when its replacement is around I will post some pics... The Warwick is currently up for sale and so may be leaving my soon. I am however due to receive a Godlyke Disciple 5 in the near future, which may also not stay for long... depends on how I take to it... :-) Edited December 29, 2009 by pantherairsoft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree! It is the first with the new scratch plate style (new shape and no screws!). Love it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ped Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 Oh yeah I didn't notice that!! Well actually if I am being hyper critical I think I preferred the old shape 'plate, but it's a stunning bass and I bet it's very comfortable. ped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think there is a better way to explain it... It is a fantastically balanced bass, sits a little nicer on the knee and is far lighter than the Overwater, but feels and sounds very different to play. Still stunned by the amazing highs....

Conan Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 That's a lovely looking piece of wood on the floor!! Oh, and the basses don't look too bad either! That Warwick is a real beaut. I don't usually go for Warwicks, but if I did, the Thumb 5 would definitely be "the one"!! Nice collection dude - and congrats on shifting the 106HF!
