Jabba The Hutt Posted February 19, 2012 Posted February 19, 2012 (edited) [size=5][color=#0000CD][b]For Reluctant Sale - My stunning Overwater Perception Deluxe 5 String Bass. [/b][/color][color=#0000CD][b]Why am I selling it??[/b][/color] [color=#0000CD][b]To be honest I'm much more comfortable with my 4 string basses but nevertheless I am totally gutted that this has to go.[/b][/color] [color=#0000CD][b]As you can see from the photos this bass is in beautiful condition...[/b][/color] [color=#0000CD][b]Completely unmarked (the photos don't do it justice), it features a medium weight swamp ash body, claro walnut top and flame maple neck. [/b][/color][color=#0000CD][b]John East pre-amp / 3 band EQ / black unmarked hipshot bridge and tuners / straplocks.[/b][/color] [color=#0000CD][b]In a nutshell this is a beauty!! [/b][/color] [color=#0000CD][b]Come complete with Overwater's Hiscox case (a few minor scuffs) but these will come off. [/b][/color] [color=#0000CD][b]Strung with nickel light gauge 28-134 Overwater strings, complete with a spare set and Levys Suede Black Guitar strap.[/b][/color] [color=#0000CD][b]This bass would cost you currently £2,445.00 from Chris May's workshop in Carlisle (when you open the case you still get that smell of wood..).[/b][/color] [color=#0000CD][b]I bought the bass in Jan 2011 and have used is for light home playing and it was gigged once. I then decided to continue to use my main instrument live - a USA Peavey Cirrus, hence this bass now staying in its case at home, unused & unmarked.[/b][/color][/size] [size=5][color=#0000CD][b]If you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact me on 07825 510857 / 01490 413389.[/b][/color] [color=#0000CD][b]Kind regards,[/b][/color] [color=#0000CD][b]Lionel[/b][/color][/size] Edited March 16, 2012 by Jabba The Hutt

Jabba The Hutt Posted February 25, 2012 Author Posted February 25, 2012 Hi there, do you have any high-end 4 strings I might be interested in? Kind regards, Lionel
Gordon Thudmaster May Posted February 26, 2012 Posted February 26, 2012 [i]Great Bass! Had it been in my price range! Someones going to get a great bass![/i]
Jabba The Hutt Posted February 27, 2012 Author Posted February 27, 2012 Hi Gordon, Thanks for this.... Hopefully someone will snap this up...no joy as yet.... Do you think I need to lower the price further? Kind regards, Lionel
Janvier Posted March 10, 2012 Posted March 10, 2012 (edited) Nice looking bass Edited March 16, 2012 by Janvier
pierreganseman Posted March 11, 2012 Posted March 11, 2012 [quote name='Janvier' timestamp='1331418606' post='1572747'] Might be a nice looking bass but you need to reconsider asking such an inflated price for this bass! Do your research and you'll find you can pick these up much cheaper. Try The Bass Gallery for instance and they're a retail outfit charging less for the same thing. [/quote] Man even if this thread is "dead".... price are not to be discussed in public. Any concern for price should be done via PM.

Isn't it better to be informed rather than misinformed? OK, read the rules and as a newbie didn't know you could send PM's. Think the 'mean' looking smiley was necessary - bad form that man!

[/quote] I'm not sure that asking for an ambitious price at the start of a for sale thread is "misinformation". Sellers are entitled to ask whatever price they like on their own threads. If the price is too high the item will not generate much interest and the seller may well reduce the price accordingly. On this particular forum it IS considered "bad form" to question a sellers price in such an open manner. PM is cool. Perhaps the grumpy face was slightly gilding the lily, I'll grant you that!
jamesbass116 Posted March 11, 2012 Posted March 11, 2012 (edited) Would you be interested in a bass + cash deal? Also I just realised you're the man I spoke to about Overwaters on the train after bass show! You were absolutely right about this bass.. It's a beaut Edited March 11, 2012 by jamesbass116

[/quote] Hey, no need to shout. You read the rules and guidelines for etiquette! I made an honest mistake and admitted so. I have no wish to ingratiate myself, as you call it, with people who are so unwelcoming downright discourteous.
Jabba The Hutt Posted March 15, 2012 Author Posted March 15, 2012 Sorry Gents for not "reading the rules" - we all make mistakes... well at least, I do sometimes. As for the bass, it's now sold/pending :-) Kind regards, Lionel
lee650 Posted March 17, 2012 Posted March 17, 2012 What trades did you have in mind, that OW is stunning!!
Jabba The Hutt Posted March 21, 2012 Author Posted March 21, 2012 Hi there, Thanks :-) I'm interested in a nice 4 string - Spector / Warwick etc... Kind regards, Lionel
Turk Posted June 25, 2012 Posted June 25, 2012 [quote name='Oldman' timestamp='1340648511' post='1707606'] Bears sh*t in 'em [/quote]
Oldman Posted June 26, 2012 Posted June 26, 2012 Maybe I have overlooked, or misread something or just not picked up on the fact that I cannot find an askin price, just an intimation of what it would cost to buy now from the men in Carlisle. Now posting a "Price" might ease the sale a little. Just sayin'
