Schnozzalee Posted January 14, 2011 Posted January 14, 2011 Argh!! I wish people would stop putting Overwater's up, i'm trying to focus on guitars!
phsycoandy Posted January 14, 2011 Author Posted January 14, 2011 Thanks folks, plays really well too sort of bump.
molan Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 That's another nice bass Andy - I had a vaguely similar 5'er for a while and really liked it. Looks like immaculate condition too

thepurpleblob Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 Am I correct in thinking this is the one with the Bartolini pickups and pre the East electronics?

phsycoandy Posted January 20, 2011 Author Posted January 20, 2011 seven point eight pounds, though i'm not quite sure if my scales mean 7 lbs 8 oz or if they mean 0.8 of a lb which is (16oz in a lb i believe) which would equate to 7lbs 12.8 ounces. either way its damn light!

aldude Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 Wow. I am surprised this has not gone yet. What's the neck like? I have a preference for slim, jazz-like necks with natural wood finish.
phsycoandy Posted January 24, 2011 Author Posted January 24, 2011 She has a 40mm nut as apposed to my jazz which is 38mm, very nice shallowish smooth varnish neck, hope that helps, it's a delight to play and very very light.

(Just the spacing of the E-G strings will do) - thanks!
