Thank you. It's a stunner I must admit.

Thanks Mark. It's a superb instrument.

Thank you. It really is a beautiful instrument and it's in mint condition too.

I never thought I would have to do this but since I ruptured my shoulder falling off a ladder, which resulted in a replacement shoulder operation, I struggle to play 34" scale basses for any length of time. I have therefore had to move to short scale basses and so I am selling some of my long scale instruments. So here is my 2018 Overwater Progress Series IV through neck 34” scale four string made for me by those brilliant guys in Carlisle. The body wood is ash with a walnut top and matching headstock and rosewood fingerboard. Hardware, pickups and preamp are Overwater’s own brand. Controls are volume and blend with a three band EQ. The volume knob has a push/pull application that brightens up the sound. When I had the bass made for me in 2018 I asked for the body to be chambered with the result that it weighs a mere 7.5lbs. It is a great instrument, in excellent condition, and comes with a Hiscox unbranded hard case. Sorry to see this one go but needs must I'm afraid. I must be realistic about it and accept that my limitations are not going to improve and it should go to someone who can make full use of it. The price new would be well in excess of £3,500 so I think I’m asking a fair price for it – but the market will decide I suppose. Payment by bank transfer and collection from Leeds although I am prepared to meet up within a reasonable distance from Leeds if that helps. Check out Dan Veal’s review of the 5 string version of this bass: https://youtu.be/AT8kEhJNHYE?si=EGmq51t_YU7TrzTh

I could meet you half way if that would help?

How far away - not Egypt?

Hi Karabass The weight is 9lbs on my luggage scales. Regards Peter

I wouldn't trust them either Craig!

It puzzles me, too. It's a beautiful instrument with playability to match. I'm not going to reduce the price any further as I would rather keep it in case my shoulder improve. I'll just sit it out in the meantime.

Have a great holiday!

Thanks Pete. Hope you and Hazel are keeping well.

These are great amps. I love mine. Good luck with the sale.

Thank you kind sir!

***NOW £900*** Since I ruptured my shoulder I can no longer play a 34" scale bass for any length of time. As such I have moved to short scale basses. So here is my 2016 American Pro 4 string Jazz in Olympic White with maple fretboard and tort pick guard. It is a great instrument, in excellent condition, and comes with the original Fender hard case and strap locks. Sorry to see this one go but needs must I'm afraid. I must be realistic about it and accept my limitations. Payment by bank transfer and collection from Leeds although I am prepared to meet up within 50 miles of Leeds.
