golltoppr Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 (edited) 2011 Overwater Perception 5 string for sale. Medium weight ash body Walnut top (w/matching headstock - small ding) Maple neck - 33' scale length Ebony fingerboard The sound is very even and articulate. With both pickups on it sounds a bit ken smith-y. The front pickup does a very convincing p bass sound and the bridge has all the snap and mid drive you could ever want. Please message if you would like to know more about the bass or would like some more pictures. If you had an identical instrument made it would cost you £2700. Thanks!

shizznit Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Sounds like a great bass!! The spec you have posted for this Overwater sounds very close to the Scott Devine signature model (if not almost exact excluding the neck spec). Is it a slightly modded SD model or your own brainchild? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
golltoppr Posted November 19, 2012 Author Share Posted November 19, 2012 Hey man, It's actually totally my own - Didn't know about Scott Devine until the guys at the shop said I was ordering something similar to his! I think the wenge in his makes a lot of sonic difference. This is much cleaner sounding in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shizznit Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Yeah, totally with you there. I went for an ebony fingerboard on maple too on my old (stolen) koa/mahogany Progress III. I had a small collection of Warwicks at the time (a Dolphin Pro 1 with an all wenge neck) and the neck tone is very different compared to wenge necks. You can even feel the difference in the resonance through your thumb when you are gripping the neck. Another beautiful specimen from Chris and Lawrence at Overwater. You can really hear the quick attack and response on the vid. Lovely! Unfortunately, I have a custom order due to arrive soon so I can't take you up on this instrument at this time, but good luck with the sale. [u]Note worth mentioning to potential buyers[/u] - even though this Perception is set up for E-C tuning Lawrence @ Overwater will happily convert it to a B-G setup for a reasonable fee. Lawrence has told me in the past (as I thought about it myself) that he does this quite often for folks that buy a 2nd hand Overwater wanting to go to a B-G or E-C setup.

golltoppr Posted November 20, 2012 Author Share Posted November 20, 2012 Hey, thanks for your interest and input! I'm not that experienced with wenge, but its something I'm interested in trying out some more. That sucks about your overwater man, some people! Koa and mahogany is one of my favourite sounding combinations. What are the specs of your new bass? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gstirrat Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Bump for a pure brilliant bass! To anybody even slightly considering buying this bass, you're looking at a perfect example of an Overwater from a top player! It makes me sad to see golltoppr selling this. . . Someone's getting a bargain! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fl3tch3rb0y Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Hey, Sounds like a great bass...I'm quite interested; What's the string spacing? Also would you be able to send me some pics please to: [email protected] Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
golltoppr Posted November 26, 2012 Author Share Posted November 26, 2012 Hey man! String spacing is 17mm which I find to be tight enough for good technique but has just a little more space than the 16.5mm that a lot of guys are using. I'll send you a bunch of pictures when I get in tonight. Thanks for checking out the bass! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

golltoppr Posted January 1, 2013 Author Share Posted January 1, 2013 I hate to do this but I'm going to knock another £50 off the price. This is a nuts offer, but I need to get the sale. It really is a stunning instrument and at this pricepoint - if you decide after x months its not for you - you will be able to sell it at the same price. If you are even remotely interested, drop me a message and I will give you information, pictures, and even a video if you would like. Thanks!
