MrT-Bass Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 (edited) Up for sale is my amazing (and still very new) Overwater "Classic looking" Hybrid Jazz. This bass is beyond amazing in both sound and feel, and if I didn't already have a number one, this would be it!! Due to some major work needed at home, I have to let this one go!! Built in 2016 and delivered December 2016, this has a few modifications from the regular spec hybrid J that make it an amazing bass to play. In immaculate condition having only been on a few gigs and used in the studio for recording...it truly even still smells new!!! A bass at this spec would come in at £3500+ so this really is a great price for an instrument of this calibre...grab it while it's still here!! Price - £1700 (no trades) Spec - 5 String 34" scale (Fantastic B string) 18mm string width 46mm at the nut Maple 3 piece reinforced neck (No angle) Rosewood fingerboard 24 frets MOP Blocks and binding OW standard profiling Neck depth slim - around 22-23mm at 12th fret Swamp Ash body - Around 4kgs in weight East J-Retro preamp + Passive tone - silver knobs (Amazingly versatile) - rear battery compartment Bartolini 57CBJD L1/L2 pickups (Up-grade from the OW standard jazz pickups) Pickups in 60s jazz position - slightly back from the neck for "slap" access Edge mounted locking jack socket Bridge - OW 5 18mm chrome/silver Machine heads - Hipshot Ultra Lite - Chrome Scratchplate - Tortoiseshell Black gloss - solid finish (Nitro) Removable ramp Also with a Bass Centre case as no OW case bought with the bass.

MrT-Bass Posted March 10, 2018 Author Posted March 10, 2018 (edited) Still here for now...here are some answers to questions asked by interested parties for you all - the bass was built in 2016 and I am the only owner the bass is in show room condition...no marks or scratches no mods or repairs yes the neck is straight and yes the truss rod works fine the frets are in great condition the electrics work fine this is s custom hybrid, the bass is essentially an OW hybrid with 24 frets but without the angle on the headstock and designed to look like a more traditional Jazz bass. The sound is fairly growly...check out the YouTube video from the link above. the string width/spacing isn’t adjustable - 18mm the neck finish is gloss but that would be easily addressed if wished. Edited June 1, 2018 by MrT-Bass Correction to information
Brother Jones Posted March 14, 2018 Posted March 14, 2018 the bridge isn’t adjustable. Sorry, can you explain this for the unitiated. I'm genuinely interested in the bass... Thanks
rmcki Posted March 14, 2018 Posted March 14, 2018 (edited) With some bridges you can adjust the distance between strings, this bridge is not adjustable so the string spacing on this bass is a very comfortable 18mm at the bridge. Edited March 14, 2018 by rmcki

I'm genuinely interested in the bass... Thanks As rmcki has said the bridge string spacing cannot be adjusted, it’s 18mm...however, you can adjust the string height and length as per a regular bridge! This is a fantastically well designed bridge too...very solid!!
MrT-Bass Posted March 20, 2018 Author Posted March 20, 2018 Amazing this is still here...anyone thinking about this, send me a message!!
MrT-Bass Posted April 19, 2018 Author Posted April 19, 2018 So it looks like the buyer has pulled out so this is back up for grabs. I’ll reduce the price to £1700 cash, buyer collects...I really can’t go any lower and will probably keep it if it doesn’t sell... Thanks for looking!!
MrT-Bass Posted April 22, 2018 Author Posted April 22, 2018 Still here...can accept bank transfer and buyer arrange collection option if that is of interest?
