    [quote name='phsycoandy' post='627392' date='Oct 15 2009, 10:05 PM']SOLD PENDING THE USUAL. I saved long and hard for this bass and will miss her badly. I happened upon her with a freak phone call to Bernie 3 years ago nearly, but times move on and situations change. She was a dream bass and still is and I'm sure the new owner will appreciate her imeasurably. Apologies to all the guys who were struggling to sell gear to finalise the deal and to all the PM offers etc. Andy Grabs Whisky bottle and swigs. Oh well..........[/quote] It surely was a beautiful bass my friend and I was truly in love with her, just the wrong time. I had to go today and lift £1600 but unfortunately i have to give it to a plumber tomorrow when he finishes our new bathroom. All the way home I was thinking what if................ Good luck buddy Michael

    [quote name='Rumple' post='625763' date='Oct 14 2009, 10:00 AM']Very nice and way too cheap at that price![/quote] Thanks for the honesty guys, I am surprised normally if you make a mistake in pricing, someone has ripped you off before you find out. I always knew that bass players were the salt of the earth, the good guys, the dependable ones, the intelligent ones, the best looking ones, the coolest ones .....etc etc etc!

    [quote name='thepurpleblob' post='625695' date='Oct 14 2009, 06:51 AM']Sounds ridiculously cheap. That bass would be well over 2 grand new, surely?[/quote] This one was special non standard pick up design making it more expensive!

    [quote name='Gwilym' post='625609' date='Oct 13 2009, 11:18 PM']way under priced IMO. i would hold out for a trade rather than sell it that low.[/quote] Thanks for the advice my friend, i might just do that! michael

    [quote name='niceguyhomer' post='625306' date='Oct 13 2009, 06:12 PM']Oh Shrekky boy - where were you 3 or 4 days ago? How much sir??[/quote] Just been through the back catalog of Overwater Progress sales here and £800 seems to be the average! What you lot think of that!

    [quote name='thepurpleblob' post='625389' date='Oct 13 2009, 07:33 PM']What kind of things are you thinking about for a trade?[/quote] It must have 4 strings lol. Something along the lines of a P or J shape but with the modern electronics!

    [quote name='bassicinstinct' post='625305' date='Oct 13 2009, 06:12 PM']Price? [/quote] If I am correct The bass that caught my eye and started me thinking bout changing used to belong to yourself. It's a GB Spitfire prototype. I should have been here earlier man! I would give my life to own a new Spitfire but there's no way i can afford it!

    [quote name='bassicinstinct' post='625305' date='Oct 13 2009, 06:12 PM']Price? [/quote] Hey guys, didn't think of a price cause i just thought about trading....... sorry bout that! What the heck is it worth! I paid a grand for it one year ago!

    [quote name='JD1' post='625323' date='Oct 13 2009, 06:28 PM']That looks like the one leprechaun had as its an unusual pup config for Overwater. If it is then its a helluva bass. I borrowed it for some gigs a couple of years ago and it sounded / played great.[/quote] It is the very same bass my friend, i purchased it just over a year from bassmanady here!

    Hey guys my Overwater is no longer mine, but I am happy to say she will be winging her way to a great guy who will use the guitar the way it is meant to be used! Thanks to everyone on this forum for all the advice and help! Now what shall I buy........ I think I have made my mind up so get your stingrays out here i come (4 strings, 3 eq, maple board) Michael

    [quote name='Happy Jack' post='376829' date='Jan 11 2009, 03:18 PM']The Treble'n'Bass amp remained virtually unchanged (other than cosmetically) from the Mk.I through the Mk.II and Mk.III and right into the SV. They were called SV because Selmer had tried making transistor amps which were a bit of a flop, so the SV was a re-launch of the old Selmer Valve amps. The TnB sounded very similar to contemporary amps by Vox and Marshall, but was significantly cheaper. The SV was the first (and only) variant which bore no resemblance at all to Vox and Marshall amps. If you can get it fired up again, you'll have a classic British valve amp capable of handling any 'normal' venue. It sounds fine for bass, if a bit muddy compared to an Eden or something, and even better for guitar - especially a Les Paul on full chat. What it WON'T do is make you rich. A pristine Mk.II might have fetched you £500 or more at the peak of the market. The SV's were never that sought after, and the market's more or less collapsed anyway. The only good thing is that Mullard 'Mustard' valves aren't fetching the insane prices of a year ago.[/quote] Thanks man, i've had it so long that i wouldn't want to sell it, but my son plays guitar and he might have an interest after i have paid for an overhaul of course (miserable git). I have a GK rig and an Eden rig so i dont really need it but I am just interested to hear from anyone owning or using this type of amp. Thanks again my friend!

    [quote name='Mr. Foxen' post='376801' date='Jan 11 2009, 02:34 PM']Check this thread: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=198"]Reccomended amp techs[/url][/quote] Thanks Man that gives me a few names to contact. I don't even know if the amp is worth fixing, it's in great condition but i've never seen anyone using them for bass. Anyone else know anything about these old amps or how they sound.
  23. The Shrek
    Hey guys recently viewed old Selmer SV 50 treble and bass amps on ebay and guys were raving about them. I have one which has been in the attic for years, but it need a bit of an overhaul. Does ayone know where i can get it done properly?
