[quote name='Josh' post='382750' date='Jan 16 2009, 07:25 PM']I had the pleasure of owning this bass for a brief period. It is a great bass, great modern tones and looks amazing in the flesh, also it is pretty damn light as well. And of course, Barrie = Legend. End of.[/quote] You are too kind Mr D I may just have to go and play it now to remind myself of how nice it is. I've just lugged my old Ampeg cab in from the garage so could be a good time to audition it

I've updated my original listing so just adding a note to say that my blue baby is up for sale again as I've moved on to 5 strings. Definitely consider trades for a 5 and could go with cash either way for the right bass

Josh - what are you like man! Just as you get settled you're on the move again

Loving the look of those pickups. P-T-P is a top man to deal with

Oh no, this looks nice as well. Why are all these nice basses coming up at the moment (OK don't answer that, I know why!)

Umm, I rather like this Wonder how it compares to my Zon 4. . .

I'd definitely be interested in something like this. My bike club did something similar at an annual party and sold a lovely custom build Telecaster for £1,000. One slight difference was that they fixed the number of tickets at exactly 100 so that everyone knew they had a 100 to 1 chance of winning (unless they bought more than 1 ticket of course!). At the time it was thought that fixing the odds like this would make people more likely to buy a ticket. Might be worth checking if there are any legal issues involved under the various lotteries & gaming acts. Our club event was OK as it was a non-commercial event & all proceeds went towards the funding of that event.

[quote name='Yessikris' post='376830' date='Jan 11 2009, 03:20 PM']Isn't this a early prototype bass?[/quote] Yep, quite different from their current models - according to the very friendly Brian Barrett who makes them

[quote name='99ster' post='376606' date='Jan 11 2009, 09:05 AM']Something along those lines... But in the end 'the market decides' on the price of anything - no matter what the seller, or any of us thinks it's 'value' is.[/quote] Well, it's definitely worth at least a grand as that's how much it's been bid to on EBay already [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/71-Fender-Jazz_W0QQitemZ200297677507QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV?hash=item200297677507&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=66%3A2|65%3A10|39%3A1|240%3A1318"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/71-Fender-Jazz_W0QQi...%3A1|240%3A1318[/url]

[quote name='4 candles' post='375472' date='Jan 9 2009, 06:04 PM']Volume, pickup selector and tone pot with another nob on top which if you pull it up give a fantastic slap sound with its own control. The pre-amp and pickups are standard from overwater, I'm unsure of the brand mabye fellow basschatters can help me out there![/quote] Mine has Kent Armstrong pickups and a standard J-Retro which has three stacked pots. When you say the pull up pot has its own control does this mean you can vary the amount of mid cut (either through the pot itself or via internal cavity adjustments)? Reason for asking so specifically is that it's the variable mid control on my Overwater that I use the most

Mark - what pickups & controls is it fitted with? Looks like either vol/vol & stacked treble/bass or maybe vol/pan & then stacked? Do you know what pre it has as well?

[quote name='warwickhunt' post='373667' date='Jan 7 2009, 11:23 PM']If it has 4 strings you've no need for it any more! [/quote] How right - anyone want a: Sadowsky NYC / Warwick Infinity / Lakland DJ / Zon VB Need to get my head round this & stop fannying around eh! Luckily OTPJ (AKA Rich) is relieving me of the Status at the weekend Anyway - back to the Overwater - what are the pickups & pre etc in this one?

[quote name='warwickhunt' post='373655' date='Jan 7 2009, 11:09 PM']Go on... buy it and sell me one of your 'spares'. [/quote] Damn you Hunt, stop giving me ideas!

[quote name='4 candles' post='373490' date='Jan 7 2009, 08:50 PM']You could always buy this one to use as a spare!!!! Remember, Its better to have than to want[/quote] Don't tempt me - the other one is at the rehearsal room so I only get to see it alternate weeks!

Looks gorgeous - way too much for me unfortunately (not the price - just the pair of 4x10's!). Have you played a 5 through it, just wondered if the B distorts much?

I've just bought one of these (similar but with a J-Retro fitted). Great bass, I'm really enjoying mine

Does the front section come off completely or is it permanently attached? Looks perfect for what I want but I'm not sure about the front flapping about when I'm using it at gigs, lol.
