Geddys nose Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 (edited) Lovely Overwater Artisan from I guess the Late '80's in great condition for its age, It looks like it has a P/U missing but it's been designed to make it easier to slap (Never seen another like it) Its a Mahogany body with a Flamed maple cap and through neck design 35' scale, 3 band EQ and a low fast action. Plays and sounds great and its one of them basses that makes you play better than you are (Might be just me!) Comes with a Warwick Deluxe Gig bag. I'm not interested in any trades but I'm pricing it to sell at £750, I'm based 20 miles North of Manchester. Cheers Si Edited June 2, 2013 by Geddys nose
Geddys nose Posted January 30, 2013 Author Posted January 30, 2013 Thanks for the nice comments its a stunning looking bass in the flesh, Hey Ash hope your alright!, I'll have to weigh the bass tomorrow (its down at my unit) I suppose I should have done that before I put it up for sale. Cheers
Geddys nose Posted January 31, 2013 Author Posted January 31, 2013 I've weighed the bass by the tried and trusted fat guy on scale - Bass guitar= 9.4lbs Not particularly light weight but less than I imagined I suppose it's the mahogany being light weight-ish. Si.

Kees_SoS Posted May 25, 2013 Posted May 25, 2013 What a beauty! I saw another Artisan with the same recess in the body yesterday, so it must have been a standard feature. Were I not saving for a custom Overwater at the moment, I'd be seriously interested in this one. Good luck with the sale!
Geddys nose Posted May 28, 2013 Author Posted May 28, 2013 Thanks for the nice comments, I've been playing this a bit recently at home but I'm trying to get down to 2 basses so its still available, Interesting about the other Artisan having the recess, I've only seen the Originals shapes but would love to see another Artisan just to compare them.
Geddys nose Posted May 28, 2013 Author Posted May 28, 2013 None at all with a Mono Strap I think the large top horn (Arf!) helps a lot.
Stockholm Syndrome Posted May 31, 2013 Posted May 31, 2013 That is one of the coolest, original looking basses ever. How does it sound?
Kees_SoS Posted May 31, 2013 Posted May 31, 2013 Finally found the video featuring the identical Artisan I mentioned -- and some awesome playing from Rick Kemp: [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=0FdpCC9Hprk"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=0FdpCC9Hprk[/url] I think you'll all agree that the bass sounds fantastic.

Geddys nose Posted May 31, 2013 Author Posted May 31, 2013 Bloody Hell its looks the same bass! Lovely bit of playing in the Clip, Its a standard Overwater Preamp with Treble,Mids, Bass, its a very musical Preamp and can get you most sounds. Thanks for the Link.
Kees_SoS Posted May 31, 2013 Posted May 31, 2013 You're welcome. Chris May had mentioned Rick Kemp to me several times over the past year or so, so I finally got round to checking his playing out. I love what he does here -- really unusual, with a lovely tone. Whoever buys your bass will be a lucky individual.
Stockholm Syndrome Posted May 31, 2013 Posted May 31, 2013 I ammend my previous comment; that is one awesome looking AND sounding bass!
Geddys nose Posted May 31, 2013 Author Posted May 31, 2013 [quote name='Kees_SoS' timestamp='1369997437' post='2095307'] BTW, is the Artisan your only Overwater? [/quote] It's the only one I have at the moment, I had a Fusion for a while but sold it.
