skej21 Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Just heard through the grapevine that Chris May will soon be unveiling a new range of basses (thanks to the success of the tanglewaters/aspiration series) known as the Inspiration series. Apparently theyre going to bridge the gap between the £800 mark at the top of the aspiration series and the full Overwater price range. Whispers are that the range will be around the £1200-1500 mark. Anyone heard anything of this? Can any confirm or offer additional details? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skej21 Posted May 8, 2012 Author Share Posted May 8, 2012 For anyone who is interested, they've finally been announced by Overwater. Look pretty good and a nice step on from the Aspiration range! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JPJ Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 Agreed, these look very interesting. I've fancied a 'progress' type bass for a while, but the Aspirations just didn't quite do it for me. Looking forward to getting my hands on one of the 5 string 35" rosewood ones with maple cap. Sounds like a trip to Carlisle is in order!

Mornats Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 Here's the link to the info on their website. Prices are around £1300 (give or take a ton or so) and are made in Carlisle by the Overwater team if I read it right.

Mornats Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 Sorry, prices are between £1300 - £1600 depending on spec. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skej21 Posted May 8, 2012 Author Share Posted May 8, 2012 (edited) Must admit, I was sceptical when I heard about these in February, but having seen the stock image on the website, they look like they will fit right in and compete nicely with the other basses around that price point. Having owned one of the first Aspirations and moved it on, I'd be quite keen to give an Inspiration a try, when stock samples exist.
