Mike Posted September 8, 2013 Posted September 8, 2013 (edited) £220 picked up from Essex Hi all, Sad to sell this inexpensive but fantastic bass but am struggling for cash and since I got a USA jazz deluxe 4 most of my other basses aren't getting a look in. You probably know about these - if not, have a look here: [url="http://overwaterbasses.com/basses/overwater-by-tanglewood/"]http://overwaterbass...-by-tanglewood/[/url] Looks like this one: [url="http://www.kennysmusic.co.uk/tanglewood-overwater-classic-jazz-bass-car.html"]http://www.kennysmus...z-bass-car.html[/url] This bass is so good I took it on tour with an orchestra (Hooked on Classics with ELO's Louis Clark) instead of my Sadowsky or Warwick and it performed superbly. Great jazz tone and precision too! £250 please - I'm based in Chelmsford, Essex. Don't think I've got a box to ship it so pickup only or meet somewhere for a bit of petrol money please. Feel free to PM any questions. It's in good condition but doesn't come with a case. Edited November 19, 2013 by Mike
Mike Posted September 13, 2013 Author Posted September 13, 2013 Will take a close offer. This is a genuinely amazing bass for the money!
TheGreek Posted September 13, 2013 Posted September 13, 2013 You are joking???...these can't be selling for as little as this... No need to wish you luck, this is bound to sell in the not too distant..
uncle psychosis Posted September 13, 2013 Posted September 13, 2013 That's lovely. Suddenly I want a jazz again...
tonyf Posted September 13, 2013 Posted September 13, 2013 Picked up one of these a couple of months ago. Absolutely stunning bass for the money. Really can't believe how great an instrument it is.
Grangur Posted September 16, 2013 Posted September 16, 2013 I can't believe this is still here! Mike is a top guy too. Friendly, trustworthy etc.. Mike: If you need a box I can help you on that. Loads of packing stuff here. Cheers Rich
Mike Posted September 16, 2013 Author Posted September 16, 2013 [quote name='flippyfloop' timestamp='1379093256' post='2208667'] Do you have the weight please ? [/quote] Hey! 10lbs on my slightly dodgy digital bathroom scales!
Mornats Posted September 17, 2013 Posted September 17, 2013 I have one of these and it's my main gigging and recording bass (well sometimes I use my Tanglewater Contemporary Jazz on recordings). Fantastic playability and sound. Mine weighs about the same too.
Mike Posted September 18, 2013 Author Posted September 18, 2013 As I say, I took this on tour with a professional orchestra and it sounded amazing! I just need the money and already have another couple of 4st jazzes!
Grangur Posted September 23, 2013 Posted September 23, 2013 (edited) I met with Mike again yesterday and bought his Ibanez Gary WIllis from him. He's a really nice guy and his gear is in good condition too. Cheers Rich Edited September 23, 2013 by Grangur
Mike Posted September 29, 2013 Author Posted September 29, 2013 Thanks Rich! Hope the fretless 5 is treating you well! This is still available.
snotsnail Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 Sorry can't help with moving it on as I already own one. Have to say though that I recently acquired an EB MM Stingray and I also have the Contemporary OW/Tanglewood J 2 band active, but of all three this is strangely the one I always pickup without thinking about it. Wonderful quality and feel, unbelievable value in my novice opinion. Hope someone who plays for the joy of the instrument picks up a real bargain.
Mike Posted October 22, 2013 Author Posted October 22, 2013 Cheers. It's a great bass. I'll take a close offer on the asking price!
Mike Posted November 17, 2013 Author Posted November 17, 2013 I can now ship this - I have a fitted cardboard case so will ship in UK at buyer's cost!
