[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Hi[/font][/color]

[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Selling my fretless Overwater J5 that I've owned for just over a year. I bought the bass from new direct from Overwater.[/font][/color]
[font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][color=#282828]It's only been gigged a handful of times and as a result it is in perfect condition, exactly as new - other than one tiny dent in the finish approx 4mm across, barely visible but nonetheless pictured below.[/color][/font]

[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I've just received another fretless Overwater J5 very similar to this, just with a few spec tweaks to suit me which is the only reason why I'm selling this one.[/font][/color]

If it helps, I assume you are in Camden Rob (hence name) and the Bass Gallery must be very close - they will refret a fretless for about £200 and do a superb job

Yeah I did entertain that thought for a while, I live just around the corner from The Gallery... Should save the pennies really though, I've a trip to Bass Direct coming up and I can't see me leaving there empty handed.

This is a lovely bass though...

Wow, INSANE price!
If I didn't already have the same bass but unlined it would be coming north..
Big bump for an absolute tone monster, the J5 is my 'rooooccckkk' bass.. B) but I also play folk gigs on it. :yarr:
If no-one snaps your hand off at this price, Richard, there's either no money around or no taste.
