LeoFender Posted June 12, 2011 Posted June 12, 2011 What's the circuit in the bass, can you describe its tonality, growly, clear, hi-fi? Ta Leo
cd_david Posted June 15, 2011 Author Posted June 15, 2011 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

Good luck with the sale, Im sure someone will snap this up before I get a chance to rob a bank!
Machines Posted June 19, 2011 Posted June 19, 2011 For anyone interested in this - if you do get it those bridge saddles can easily come up nice with a bit of brasso ! Look as good as new..

Machines Posted June 19, 2011 Posted June 19, 2011 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.

Very easy for them to get knocked about.[/quote] 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.
