[i]I know what you mean when it comes to four-strings. As far as fives are concerned, I tried Scott's bass at the Overwater London Bass Day a couple of years ago, but the spacing was slightly too narrow for me, so I'm going with 17mm on my new Original Series. I wanted to post a pic of it here, but I keep receiving an error message that I've exceeded my 30MB limit, despite the file being a lot smaller.[/i] [quote name='BassBus' timestamp='1419615342' post='2641315'] No. Same spacing as Mr. Devine, 16.5mm. Very comfortable to play on a fiver. Somehow for me 16.5mm looks a bit odd on a four string so I'm happy with 19mm on a four. [/quote]

Beautiful example. Looks like you've gone for a slightly wider string spacing than Scott. Is that the case? 1[quote name='BassBus' timestamp='1399204784' post='2442012'] Just picked up this beauty from Overwater yesterday.

[quote name='lowpainter' timestamp='1412757933' post='2571596'] I have at least one picture with me and the Blue 5string Overwater. But where.........Tried to find it but until now nothing. Question of time :-) What kind of Overwater will it be, the one you've ordered ? [/quote] An Original Series five-string with a 34" scale and custom 17mm string spacing. It will be finished in a translucent black stain with a high-gloss finish.

That's one I've never seen before. Do you perhaps have a few photos you could share? It seems more Overwaters have made their way over to the Netherlands than I thought, soon to be joined by my new five-string fretted, which is still under construction. [quote name='lowpainter' timestamp='1411892794' post='2563500'] Hi guys, Well, the blue 5string original I had in the eighties was my first 5 string bass ! I ordered it directly from Chris at Overwater. Should not have sold it, but then again: lots of basses I have had the pleasure of playing, I should have kept. Sometimes the gas is playing tricks with your mind if you get me.:-) I'm in the race for an original at this moment. Very nice basses ! I love the shape ! Nels ( lowpainter ) [/quote]

Thanks. It will be with my parents for the next three weeks, should you change your mind. If it doesn't sell on Basschat or on eBay when the current listing expires, I may have them bring it back over here (Amsterdam). [quote name='IainRoberts' timestamp='1395531252' post='2403515'] Dont tempt me! I'm supposed to be slimming down my set up but this is a beauty! Good luck :-) [/quote]

Love the black one! There's something about that shape in that colour that oozes coolness. My new OW is going to be a five-string fretted Original Series in translucent black. [quote name='waldflote8' timestamp='1394381287' post='2390841'] A sister for my rather beat up black original. I was amazed at the range of tones - to the point of checking that it was really passive, big difference from the all mahogany black one. [/quote]

Hi, Jan. I'd love to see a few pics if you have some. I have to admit, I'm not really familiar with nels Busch, and I'm not sure that the guys at Overwater know of him. I know of a handful of Overwaters in the Netherlands, one of them an Artisan, and also a few in Belgium. Regards, Kees

I own a '79 factory fretless Sabre in black. Lovely instrument, but not quite what I need at the moment, so I've put it up for sale: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/220610-music-man-sabre/page__p__2280806__hl__sabre__fromsearch__1#entry2280806"]http://basschat.co.uk/topic/220610-music-man-sabre/page__p__2280806__hl__sabre__fromsearch__1#entry2280806[/url] -
I own a 1979 rosewood factory fretless Sabre in black. Beautiful instrument, but not quite what I need at the moment, so it's up for sale, should anyone be interested: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/215184-1979-factory-fretless-music-man-sabre-price-drop/page__fromsearch__1"]http://basschat.co.uk/topic/215184-1979-factory-fretless-music-man-sabre-price-drop/page__fromsearch__1[/url]

Is yours active or passive, BTW? It also looks like the single-pickup version. Is that correct? [quote name='pablo100' timestamp='1384948742' post='2282601'] I do and if I've got any say in the matter I'm not parting with it! It's the best bass I've had for both live & studio work. I'm playing it on this EP [url="http://vetobroadway.bandcamp.com"]http://vetobroadway.bandcamp.com[/url] [/quote]
