DGBass

Much as it pains me to offer this bass for sale, I need to continue thinning out the herd. As I have two Precisions, it's a numbers thing and this one I'm afraid has to go 🫤. I'm sure fellow lefties will understand that it takes time to find a good lefty bass, and even longer to find a really good one. This Fender Player is a really good one and has been my go to bass for the last few years. IMHO, this bass just wants to be played. It's a MIM of course, polar white with minty pick guard and maple neck. It weighs in at just around 3.9kg. Everything is fender player original, i've never seen any reason to upgrade any of the hardware or electrics. It's in excellent condition with no scrapes or dings. It's strung currently with Ernie Ball stainless flats in 100 guage. It plays fast and smooth, and has a fairly powerful pickup. Classic p-bass tones by the shed load, and it sits well in a band mix and as a recording instrument. Everything works as it should, tuners, electrics and truss rod. I don't have a case for it and would rather not ship it anywhere either. Interested parties are welcome to come and give it a go in person, tea and biscuits provided. Thanks for reading my ad.

The green finish is quite interesting. If I recall there was a red and an orange option for the translucent finish as well. I don't think your bass has the same pickups though, or the matching headstock. That's the thing with these basses, there were a lot of options at the time so players could create a unique look that suited them, and their pocket. I'm not sure what the tie in to Bernie Goodfellow is regards Overwater?

I've been mulling over this sale for quite a while now however it feels the time to put this bass out there to see if there is a new lefty owner who will appreciate it and hopefully play it more than I have in recent times. It's an original "original series" bass, built in the Overwater factory when they were based in Haltwhistle in the early 1980s. I've owned it from new and it has always been well looked after and well maintained. History wise, it was gigged regularly back in the late 1980s and early 1990s but for the rest of its life it's been a case queen, only coming out once or twice a year to do a gig and make sure it was ok. Last time it was gigged was earlier this year and it still plays as fantastically as ever. It's constructed of old school Brazilian mahogany, has a transluscent tint blue maple stripe top with matching heastock. Its a neck thru design and has a bound ebony fingerboard. The frets are in excellent condition and it still has its original graduated fretting system. I think this was a unique feature on Overwater basses at the time. Hardware is the real deal Schaller chrome made in Germany and it all works as good as new. Straps locks, again Schaller were fitted as standard. Pickups are moulded resin Kent Armstrong soapbars. All original. The bass was originally configured as a passive instrument with VTT and a five position pick up selector. It's very basic but works well. The rear cavity was originally cut to allow fitting of an active circuit at a later date but I never followed up on that option. Currently strung with D'Addario rounds, 100 guage. It plays very fast and low, and has a super slim neck profile. It's also a very long bass despite being a 34' scale instrument. It comes with its original Overwater wooden case. There were two options at the time, a made to order oversize wooden case, or a full tour spec made to order aluminium flight case. The case has a few bumps and scrapes from use but is in sound condition and does its job well. Last the bass was weighed i'm sure it was around 4.7kg or there abouts. Nut width is jazz bass dimensions. Overall condition is very good to excellent. There is a light laquer scratch on the rear cutaway, same on the top edge, and one small laquer dent near the input jack on the bottom edge. All very small and difficult to notice. I'm reluctant to post or courier this bass however I may consider a meet up if its a reasonable driving distance from Central Scotland. Interested bass chatters are welcome to come and give it a go and i'll make sure the kettle is primed and biscuits are available. The blue strap in the photo is included. Price wise I have no real idea what these are worth nowadays as its very few and far between that they show up for sale. Lefties are even more scarce. I'm asking £1295 for this one and would be happy with that price. Not looking for trades or swaps unless you own a Fender Jazz serial no. S830880 that you are planning on selling.

Awesome cabs and one of the best if not the best 1x15 cab I've ever owned and gigged. GLWTS!

This is my Ashdown MAG300 EVO II bass guitar amp head which is now surplus to requirements. It's an early EVO II 300H model with the black carpet covering which is in very good condition all round. What can I say about these amps other than they are generally solid, reliable workhorse amps, and its super easy to get a useable tone from them. This one is in full working order, all controls work smoothly and crackle free, VU light works fine. Ashdown rate these as 300 watts RMS / 500 watts peak @ 4 ohms. I've used this with a 4 ohm cab and it runs perfectly. It's fan cooled so probably not ideal for home or bedroom use as the fan is audible at home volumes. Used sparingly as a back up and occasionally rehearshal amp by me and never abused. It's in very clean condition throughout. I'd prefer collect in person, tea and biscuits included free so you can try it out. I may consider posting to a UK mainland destination if a buyer is willing to arrange their own courier to collect. PM/message me if that is something you are interested in. Not looking for trades, thanks as i'm "thinning the herd" for now.
