BarnacleBob Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 (edited) For Sale is my 2006 Overwater Perception Deluxe. Very good condition, very light (under 8lbs), neck and frets all good. 2 band EQ gives what was discussed in another thread as a nice polite hi-fi sound, not a 'grunter'! Too many basses, trying to cut back to just the neck-thrus! Comes with new Warwick Rockcase. Will include delivery to UK mainland in price. Any questions, ask away.

BarnacleBob Posted May 24, 2010 Author Share Posted May 24, 2010 The chap (a professional player) i bought it from said it was a 91 and he had bought it new - the sale was to fund a neck-thru from Chris and Chris seemed to know the chap so I had no reason to question its age. It is in remarkable condition for nearly 20 yrs old if it is indeed a '91. Should check the serial number but i cant find it BB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does look good whether it's 19 or 9 years old and £600 is a very good price - I thought I'd sold my Perception deluxe Fretless cheap a few weeks back and it was a bit more than this. Good luck with the sale BB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigwan Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 Definately newer than '91 that. Sweet bass, and a bargain too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Signed off by Chris April 2006! I could have sworn I've had it that long! Must have been quite new when i got it which explained its excellent condition! God knows where i got 1991 from - meths is a hell of a drug! No mention of woods though but I am sure a BCer came to my aid before on this. So there we are then 4 yr old Perception Deluxe & case 600 clams to your doorstep - current new seem to go between 1300 and 2200 BB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

molan Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 Blimey - £600 for one of these is a very good price indeed. I'm sure they were more like £800 - £1,000 on the used market just a year or so ago! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BarnacleBob Posted May 26, 2010 Author Share Posted May 26, 2010 Midweek bump. Came home today (unexpectedly) and found/caught my 15yr old daughter and her pal playing my basses! Let them off as her pal was actually very good - even more surprising in that she doesnt own a bass, only uses one she has access to at school and doesnt get lessons! Sadly she couldn't afford 600 clams as she loved this one cos it was so light. BB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jezzaboy Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 BB That`s a shameless thing, using your daughter and her pal for a bump, It`s a lovely looking bass and BB is a great guy to deal with. I see that the T bass is up for sale. You are just as bad as me!! Jez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dronny Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 Hi -- really dumb question, I know, but... does it have any fret markers on the 'top' side of the neck? The neck looks gorgeous in the pictures, and then I realised that's partly because it has no dots. That might take some getting used to... cheers Dave.

BarnacleBob Posted May 27, 2010 Author Share Posted May 27, 2010 There are dot markers on the side of the fret board so it isn't too much of a problem - though my T-bass is the same so I was used to it. Cheers BB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jez[/quote] Not keen on selling the T-bass (which is why there is no actual sale thread on it) but the new Streamline i bought from Owen means I need the cash and decided cant justify keeping two Statii (?)
