Overwater Perception 5 - Scott Devine Special - SOLD £1100

[OutSpoon]

[size=4]Up for sale is my Overwater Perception 5 string. Made in 2007 for the Legend that is Scott Devine. This isn't a signature model, it was actually made for Scott (I have emails from Scott and Chris May to confirm this).[/size]

Awesome bass, really light, really low action. Lovely to play. Very versatile despite only 1 pickup in the bridge position. Simple controls, volume and tone - but that's all you need.

Hipshot tuners and Overwater hardware. The fretted neck has a matched headstock to the body (front and rear) - the Fretless is a dark wood... not sure what!

PLUS - you get a Fretless neck included... that's 2 basses for the price of 1. :-)
PLUS - a ramp for the fretted neck.
PLUS - a Hiscox hard case
PLUS - all the mojo from this being owned and played by a Legend (not me.).

Selling this in order to fund my current P-bass lust.

Would consider trading for either a 70's Fender P or a new (ish) American P. Rosewood neck, white, red or burst...

Happy to post in the UK or EU at the buyer's expense. I have lots of packing materials so no problems. You can also collect if you like - I am based just south of Reading.

Here's a clip of Scott showing what can be done...

Well, it's Friday night so perhaps someone is coming home late from the pub thinking... I really need an Overwater - and whump; there it is.

BTW - i'm open to offers! ;-)

Mr Spoon is this a 34" with low B or a scotty 32" or 34" with hi C

[OutSpoon]

Hi there - it's a standard 34" scale - with 17mm string spacing. Currently strung E-C but I will happily restring B-G with some new strings if anyone would like :-)

Also considering a trade for a Fender P bass, white, fiesta red or burst with Rosewood neck and tort guard :-)

[deepbass5]

Thanks, String spacing was my next question - as the bass was tailored to Mr D's spec - is there room for adjustment in spacing 18mm + or would the strings be off the board.
As a 19mm man I would find it difficult to go less than 18mm

[OutSpoon]

Hey there - yeah, it's totally adjustable. The strings are right in the middle of the saddles right now so I think it will easily go to at least 18mm. I'm only in Reading if you wanna take a look. :-)

PM'd

[OutSpoon]

It's Monday and the bass is still here... there are quite a few vintage P-basses that I have my eye on right now so need to sell this and one of my Warwicks before xmas! :-) Make me an offer...

[OutSpoon]

Some interest but still here.... roll up roll up! I have added some trade options as I really want / need a Fender P bass. Either a late '70's or a modern(ish) 2-3 year old. Rosewood neck, white, red or burst. Preferably with a tort guard. :-)

[OutSpoon]

Gentle nudge...

[OutSpoon]

Traded this with David at Cotswold Bass Guitars for a lovely Fender P-bass. :-)
