hi all...

Ok... if this doesnt sell before Sunday i will be trading it locally so hit me with any offers!! I'm looking around £1300 but offers sure are welcome... you could get a bargain!

UPDATE!! This really needs to go now I'm afraid - i have a wedding to pay for and i always seem to be using my stingray so it will have to go to a new home. £1300 is pretty firm I'm afraid... it was nearly £3000 new and its in excellent condition! Any trial is welcome... no trades as i need to recoup some cash! I was originally looking for £1800 isn, down to £1500 now down to £1300... i know the market is a bit thing but this is a lovely bass.

Its a lovely bass but doesn't get used much... i like my stingray too much! hit me with some offers!

Price drop... Looking to secure £1500... Will look at trades which give me a 5 string bass and £500... Looking for a Warwick or super jazz type bass... Already have a MM Stingray so don't need something like that... Really looking for a modern sound.

Decided to sell on my Overwater Progress III Deluxe model... I'm not playing much at the mo, have little cash and am looking to get a new amp to get going again so need to recoup some dosh...

It's about 4 years old, and with the additions i added on, came to just a smidge under £3000... it was an insurance claim (i had something similar which got damaged) so cant be sure of the exact cost, but if you know these basses, you will know what they cost...

Depending on interest i will get more detailed photos up and am posting this at work so will need to get some accurate info to post later... but basically its:

Thru neck design (as they all are)
Poplar burl top
Mahagony wings
Wenge strips in the neck and wenge fingerboard (gives it a really clean / modern sound)
the usual overwater electronics and hardware (doesn't have wood covered pickups)

the main additions i had were the figured top and the wenge neck - the rest is a standard progress III deluxe... comes with the hard case although this arrived damaged and i have never used it.

Cash wise... i would be looking in the area of about £1800 but am open to negotiation and am happy to look at trades... in particular i am looking for:

High spec amp and cab / combo (2 x 10 ish, lightweight, EBS neo sort of thing) plus cash...
5 string bass to trade - not sure really but i like the modern sounding stuff - i already have a SRay 5 so dont need another... a warwick (had a $$ and regretted selling it), sandberg or something... i like natural wood although will look at most things but has to be a 5 string...

Have a look at the photo - only a rough one but will get better ones up later...
Im in the Gt Yarmouth area - open for anyone to come and try the bass, it's a real player! Give me a shout if you are interested...

5 string J-J pickup config, 2 band EQ, a workhorse warwick. Fairly good condition, but the guy I got it from had poorly installed straplocks, and has damaged the wood around the lower strap button, but I am taking this in to be repaired in someway.
