Thank you for your kind words. As I said in the thread, this was a really big deal for me, as my health issues were rendering the bass unusable. However, Martin saved the day with his excellent work. There was a very extensive build thread on here when the bass was built, however all the associated photographs have disappeared, and the thread is the poorer for it. thanks again! RK

Thank you! And yes, I'm still over the moon about the results Martin achieved and the quality of his work RK

I have an East PreAmp going begging if anyone needs one...

Hey there! I remember coming over, with Martin, to the NE Bass Bash, it was a great day out. I particularly like the mid range output from the OW circuit, which when coupled with the ease of use when compared to the East circuit, makes it a good choice for me. I know the East circuit can be adjusted for almost any output, but for me the OW simplicity makes it a winner. Robin

Never mind Aston Martins and Mopeds, its so good to see instruments being converted to allow them to still be played. Fantastic job Andy Robin

Fantastic work, as ever, Andy! A different approach to the chambering job. but stunning nonetheless Robin

A -The solution only came to me as I had called in to visit Martin one day and he showed me two Perception basses with completed woodwork, one of which was chambered and one wasn't. The weight difference was simply astonishing. B - Yes, but as I've mentioned before, I am close to all the guys at Overwater, so perhaps that made them look on my request more favourably. They are, however, very much player-focused anyway, so exemplary post-sale support features heavily for them. Sorry about your bass, by the way. Perhaps order another? 😁

Thank you for your kind words, its been a difficult few years RK

Hey Andy! I was hoping this thread would catch your eye. I follow your activities on here, so I thought this one may be right up your street 😊😊 Martin did a simply amazing job for me, no doubt about that. He is a real artisan, and a very close friend, which probably helped a bit. On one of my many Hospital visits, he walked onto the ward for visiting time with the one and only Phil Mann behind him. Phil had been visiting the OW workshop and came along to visit me. I was blown away. Good friends mean so much. I also enjoyed my small involvement along with Martin in the early days of the modification. All the key work though, came from Martin, but I should also mention Chris and Kirstie again, as the job was only agreed upon following their backing. Clearly the players experience is something that Overwater take seriously, and to see me unable to play the instrument didn't sit well with them. This bass was always meant to be played, despite its price tag, and it is definitely a working bass. I am happier now with the tone of the bass than I have ever been.Incidentally, on the subject of the heel recharge, Martin also contoured the rear of the top horn for me, as part of the chambering project, as the bass wasn't fitting my chest as well as it had following my cardiac adventure. Someone mentioned in a comment that you had done a chambering thread for someone? Could you send me a link please, I'd like a read 😊 Thank you for your kind comments Robin

Thank you!

Yes, they are skilled indeed. This job has never been done before, but Chris and Kirstie backed my request, and Martin certainly delivered the skills needed to fulfil it. One of the many important advantages of OW ownership is the support that is available waaaaaay beyond the point of purchase. I'm a lucky man. RK

Thank you for your kind words, I am blessed indeed to own and play this bass. The OW gang are a superb bunch to deal with, and certainly stepped up in my behalf. RK

You are in the right ballpark at £500

What do you mean? The cost of this work? 😊

Yes they certainly do. A 36" sixer. Very nice. Ask Martin about having it chambered, and watch him go white! Ha ha
