Rumple Posted November 12, 2012 Posted November 12, 2012 (edited) Due to running out of space, GAS and a love of MM basses I'm putting my 2009 Overwater Perception is up for sale. 35" scale 17 mm string spacing Walnut core with European maple back and front facings. Ebony fingerboard. Individual bridge pieces. This started out life as a fretless but with the fact that I wasn't sure I'd always want it that way I had lines and side dots between the frets, as predicted I didn't use it much as I'm pretty rubbish at fretless so I had Dave (Nugget) at Fire Creek Guitars replace the nut and fret it. it's a fantastic fretted bass but my preference is for 34" scale length so always end up playing my SR5. The non standard string spacing, facing on the back of the body, the bridge and I think the ebony on the neck were all extra cost items so this would cost a small fortune to order, it's in excellent like new condition and has only been played for a few hours even though it's a few years old.

Rumple Posted November 15, 2012 Author Posted November 15, 2012 I've checked the original order and it's 17mm string spacing not 17.5 as I originally stated. Comes with the Hiscox case but could knock a few pounds off if you didn't need it. Made in 2009
Nico@Bass Posted November 22, 2012 Posted November 22, 2012 Man that bass is gorgeous Wish I had the money
nugget Posted November 27, 2012 Posted November 27, 2012 I've gotta say this is one of the best basses I've ever played!! It's got great tone (quite a few different tones) a superb neck and great balance. Strange thing is I cant quite put my finger on why I love it so much.....but I do...... plus Mr Rumple is a great guy to deal with.
Rumple Posted March 23, 2013 Author Posted March 23, 2013 I haven't bumped this in ages as I thought I might keep it as I love the look of it but in a strange turn of events my latest idea for a custom bass is now in the early stages of coming into being so this is available again. I've strung it with a new set of D'Addario Half Wounds in the last few weeks as I thought I was keeping it. Any question just ask.
lee650 Posted May 9, 2013 Posted May 9, 2013 A damn shame Ive been looking at this bass for months, as its a stunner, but dont have the cash . Someone is in for a bargain
Rumple Posted May 21, 2013 Author Posted May 21, 2013 There has been some more interest on this recently here on Basschat but it's still available and going back on Ebay soon.
