Hi Leo

It has a very clear sound particularly on the bottom end, I know a lot of 6s sound like a nylon up the very top but seem to lack detail and clarity at the B, this is very tight and pronounced at the low B and all the way up keeps the even tone. The top doesn't sound like a nylon string more like a steel or bronze wound acoustic, very ringy and definitely metallic. Whether this is the Overwater circuit Im not sure as I only ever run it mid pan and tones fully on, I presume its a mass and choice of woods thing. Hope this helps?

I think I may have a very old recording of it somewhere, I will try to find it and upload it.

Cheers

Dave

You do realise I am going to have to do that now :) LOL, was going to stick a new set of OW strings on anyway so I give them a good buffing at the same time :)

As each saddle has multiple parts, I took each one apart and did all around (even the bits you can't see) - just be careful with the intonation nuts underneath ! Very easy for them to get knocked about.

Yeah, Ive done them before, trick is to either remove the bridge completely or lie the bass on its back when removing/replacing the intonation bolts.
