tayste_2000 Posted November 30, 2012 Posted November 30, 2012 OK, so here's the deal this is my first Overwater (but not my oldest) I think it was made around 2005/2006 and was my main bass for a few years, made me sell all my Valenti's and misc other basses. It's a bolt on neck, 5 string, 35 inch scale bass with a maple body, maple neck and I assume something along the lines of rosewood for the fretboard but could be something a bit more exotic being Overwater it's the lightest bass I own, I'll post the weight tonight. The bass largely looks black but it's a trans purple finish, it has one small dent towards the upper horn (I'll get a picture later tonight) about the size of a jack tip (funny that) So I'm after £700 ono for this, now why so cheap, well it doesn't get played I have 4 Overwaters including this and a Rickenbacker and I've managed to find an original shape fretless (I have 2 original shape basses already, it's kinda my thing ). Futher more my band tune ADGCF so a full step down from standard so 2 of my Overwater's are 36 inch scale and again, it's just become my my thing and what I'm comfortable with. So with trying to keep my bass limit down to 5, I figure this is the only one I can let go. So this is your chance to score a real Overwater for less than some of the Aspiration basses. To confirm, there is no case included in the sale of this and I would prefer collection, I'm based in Manchester however the fretless I'm buying is in Reading so I can deliver for free to around this area and kill 2 birds with one stone. Would be tempted to part ex for a Tanglewood Overwater Jazz, as a beater is always nice for when I have to cycle places, but ideally a sale. As stated open to offers
UncleMeat Posted December 4, 2012 Posted December 4, 2012 Is the board flat or does it have a radius?
stef030 Posted December 4, 2012 Posted December 4, 2012 nice, just a tad out of my price range, shame good luck with the sale cheers stef
tayste_2000 Posted December 4, 2012 Author Posted December 4, 2012 What's you're price range? I could be open to offer
UncleMeat Posted December 4, 2012 Posted December 4, 2012 Thought it looked flat. In the unlikely event that this still around in the new year and/or you don't ebay it, I'd be very interested. Wrong side of xmas for me though...
tayste_2000 Posted January 27, 2013 Author Posted January 27, 2013 Bump incase anyone is now flush with cash post Xmas
LukeFRC Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 [quote name='tayste_2000' timestamp='1359632786' post='1957821'] Bump [/quote] i would have presumed this would have gone by now!
LukeFRC Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 [quote name='tayste_2000' timestamp='1359645278' post='1958160'] You'd think wouldn't you. [/quote] yeah out of interest... what does it sound like? maple body would be quite bright I would think?
tayste_2000 Posted January 31, 2013 Author Posted January 31, 2013 I would use the term focus'ed there is a lot of power in thoser Overwater preamps, so it can be quite bright or really bright or massively subby But http://www.talkbass.com/forum/f8/sounds-most-vintage-657829/ See this for what you can do with the right strings I sold all my vintage basses having heard this with flats. It's only for sale really because I'm buying an Overwater Fretless this weekend and this just doesn't get paid, might even sell another Overwater 5 I have....... maybe
tayste_2000 Posted March 25, 2013 Author Posted March 25, 2013 Still looking to move this on, cutting back on all my gear and I oddly don't need 8 basses anymore.
tayste_2000 Posted April 10, 2013 Author Posted April 10, 2013 Will trade for a decent p bass or an average p bass and cash
tayste_2000 Posted May 6, 2013 Author Posted May 6, 2013 Bump, really need something to move so I can buy a new amp.
tayste_2000 Posted May 8, 2013 Author Posted May 8, 2013 [quote name='W1_Pro' timestamp='1368036495' post='2072407'] Hi there, Is this still available? Best S [/quote] Yep still available
tayste_2000 Posted May 8, 2013 Author Posted May 8, 2013 (edited) Look[quote name='3below' timestamp='1368038500' post='2072437'] Hi what is the string spacing at the bridge? [/quote] Looks like 17mm but I'm just measuring the space between strings, should I be including the string? I'm not sure how accurate I'm being sorry. EDIT [IMG]http://i43.tinypic.com/6pxan9.jpg[/IMG] Hopefully that helps? Edited May 8, 2013 by tayste_2000
Jigster Posted May 16, 2013 Posted May 16, 2013 Don't think you ever posted the weight of this gorgeouosity?
tayste_2000 Posted May 17, 2013 Author Posted May 17, 2013 I've got it coming in at 7lbs maybe a bit under but that's according to the bathroom scales, it is one of my lightest basses
wildman Posted May 17, 2013 Posted May 17, 2013 Trade for a Streamer $$ 4 ? Or are you a strictly 5-er non Warwick person... Cheers, John
