jay-syncro Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 (edited) I recently purchased this Overwater as I've fancied a short/medium scale bass for some time, and it really appealed. The original thread for it can be found here: http://basschat.co.uk/topic/253487-overwater-1980s-medium-scale-bass-on-hold/page__fromsearch__1 AS stated in the original thread, there is an issue with the EMG pickup currently fitted having a narrow magnetic field (50mm) which means the output on the G string is slightly quieter than the others. As soon as I bought the bass, I purchased an EMG MMCS Musicman pickup and electronics, with a view to not just remedy the issue, but to make a lightweight, medium scale, Stingray-esque bass that I won't be afraid to use on rough pub gigs, jam nights etc. when I'd be worried to use my 71 Precision or Sadowsky. The issue is, I like the shorter scale so much I've recently commissioned my first custom bass in 33'' scale This means a hefty deposit has been laid out and money must be recouped (so I've been told, anyway). It's a great, solid, handmade bass, with excellent hardware and original appeal. Although the bass can be used as-is, I think it'd be great if the new owner fitted the EMG MM pickup/electronics, so I'm including them in the sale. I'm after £285 for a quick sale It can be tried out/collected from Margate.

jay-syncro Posted March 12, 2015 Author Share Posted March 12, 2015 (edited) After a quick jam on the Overwater earlier, I think I'll leave it up for sale until Saturday. If it doesn't go before then, I'll withdraw it and get the pickup fitted myself Edited March 12, 2015 by jay-syncro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
