If you'll post it I'm interested?

For sale, is my [i]beautiful[/i] Overwater. 5 stringer, mahogany body, Pear wood top, through 36" scale neck with purple heart stripes. An instrument of the highest quality and out of my league to be honest. Recently been back to the factory for an ebony ramp to be fitted (not seen in pics), which is only stuck down with double sided tape between the pickups, easily removable, and leaves no marks. SOLD.

OOOHHH [i]MONSTER[/i] bass this. Outstanding tone and plays itself, bargain.

Here's a clip of Guild B301F in action: [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?gl=GB&hl=en-GB&v=HsxSvI8dqAg"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?gl=GB&hl=...p;v=HsxSvI8dqAg[/url]

All PMs replied to thanks. A trade for a NICE Epiphone Thunderbird might be an option.

It may well be, depending on what happens. I'll let you know.

PM'd Steve.

Steve, it's here for you to try any time you like mate.

Unusual one this..... First off, it's not mine. It's been in my mates loft for many years untouched. 20 years since last picking up a bass, he's decided to have another go, but he wants a 4 string fretted bass to replace this one. From the serial number, we believe it to be from 1978, it's a US made Guild, model B301F. Sometime in it's life, someone (not my mate), had fitted some kind of humbucker style pickup at the bridge, and I have to say, it's a pretty crude job. The body has been routed for the pup to drop in, and the scratchplate cut around the pup, not the tidiest job I've ever seen. No idea what the mystery pup is, but it's been there a [i]looong[/i] time. The bridge pup is not height adjustable, as it's just screwed down onto the body. It all works fine, the neck is a glued in one and looks straight, and I've lemon oiled the fingerboard, and it has Schaller tuners. Solid mahogany, and built to last, it's a bit of an old classic in need of some TLC from someone. Nice mwaah tone from it, lovely smooth fretboard. There's a few knocks around it, and some buckle rash on the back, but it's in surprisingly good nick for a bass from the late 70's. There's no case though, so I would prefer to meet someone somewhere (within reason) with it to avoid postage. I [i]genuinely[/i] don't know what to ask for it?? It's not in original condition, but it's a quality bass. Anyone got any ideas??? Cash only though I think, I don't think he'll be interested in trades. Cheers, Russ.

Thanks in advance!!![/quote] Great bass this, I was tempted by it myself recently. As far as the styles this bass is capable of, well any really, I'd put it down as an all rounder. Jeff himself only has ONE bass, for all his work, and it's (admitedly the US made version) one of these. It should be capable of most styles I guess. Seahawks eh? I saw them Vs the Chargers in San Diego a few years back when I was over there. Brian Bosworth was a Seahawk wasn't he?......back in the days when I used to play.....a [i]long[/i] time ago.

[quote name='Beedster' post='458614' date='Apr 9 2009, 05:40 PM']I've wanted a Wal since 1980 and this year was the first time I realised I had enough cash to get one! However, not sure it's really my sound.[/quote] Exactly how I was with my Gretsch, stunning, just not me. Sumptuous Wal mate, wish I could take it off your hands, good luck.

Superb bass. I was within hours of owning one recently before the deal fell through. Good luck.

That sir, is a fine bass guitar.

[quote name='lozbass' post='439372' date='Mar 19 2009, 05:11 PM']Thanks for the help - it'd be nice to see the bass move soon (and local?)[/quote] I'll text my mate and see if he had a look at this. Surprised it's still here to be honest. Did the 5er go?

Yeah local, he's going to have a look later.

By the way, I might know someone who's interested, I'll keep you posted.

I'm totally head over heals with it yes, it's just superb. Pity I haven't got the cash to buy this baby to partner it though ! Good luck, not that you'll need it.
