Wow, did you make the body and neck yourself? 🤔

Any update on your built Ron? 🤔

Thanks. Always love a natural body.! 😅 In time they will turn into a beautiful golden yellow colour.

Yup, it's definitely very distinguishable for sure. 👍

My Twins 😁

Great collection. Overwater don't make these shapes anymore, right? Any idea what years were these made?

36" 😮, you must have loooonng arms! 😅

I know what you mean by the weight Chris. When I received the fretless, I found it a bit on the heavy side too so when I ordered the fretted one, I asked if they could find me a lighter swamp ash body and they did. It was comparatively lighter than the fretted brother. I don't know about the CS Fender Jazz 5 as there are so few of them. The 4 strings are very light indeed. Then again, I used to have two 78 Fender jazzes and they weighed a ton! 😕

Any Overwater bass owners here? I have two Overwater bassess, both fretted and fretless. Been using it for gigs over the last two years and am very happy with them. I think Overwater is like the Fender Custom Shop basses in terms of build and quality. When I placed my order with Chris, initially I went for the hollow body series but later on I realized(or I think Chris told me) only both wings are hollowed. There is a centre solid block of wood in between. Well, that wasn't what I wanted as I was looking for a totally hollow body one in which 2 years later, I ordered a Stradi but that a story for another time! Anyway, so I changed to the J series instead. Don't think Chris was too impressed with the switch, sorry Chris! The first one was a fretless and I like it so much that I ordered a fretted one afterward! 😁

Nice one Jeff 👍, please keep us updated with the build. 😁

It's not too late for you to start Russ! 🤓

Don't tell me you never read one binky! 🤔

Talking about wood porn. This is better than Playboy magazine! 😂

Must be quite heavy with Amboyna burl, no?

We would all love to see some pics please.....😄

Since you have both the Original and Flamboyant, do you notice the difference between the two? I mean when putting on a strap and playing in stand up position.

Well, I emailed Martin last week about changing the electronic of my Flamboyant to Turner/Lusithand setup. Still not heard a reply from the man though! 😕

Martin's choice of woods is just breathtaking!!

I know what you mean though. It's all a "feel" thing as far as basses are concerned. Cheap basses do not mean it's bad. I had SIRE before and loved it. Expansive basses do not automatically mean it's a keeper.
