ambient Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 (edited) This is an amazing beast of a bass that has to be heard to be believed, from thunderous lows to sweet and exquisite high notes. It's currently tuned low B to high F, but other tunings are quite possible, I've had it low F# to high C which worked nice, and i once had it tuned low F# to high C in piccolo tuning which was fantastic. If you check out any of any Bandcamp stuff from this year, any of the solo bass stuff will be this instrument. I'm pretty sure that I have video too from the various concerts that I've done with it. The instrument is 14 years old, and was serviced by Overwater in February this year. It's in fantastic condition though, just a couple of very tiny marks that are too small to photograph, and would need pointing out for you to see them. I have the birth certificate somewhere, which details all of the woods used in the construction. The body is walnut, and the facing is quilted maple, with a black accent piece between. The fretboard is the finest piece of dark black ebony that I've ever seen. The electronics are Overwater's own pickups and the preamp is an Overwater John East. Black tuners and it has recessed black Dunlop strap locks fitted. The scale length is 35”, and it has 24 frets. It weighs 6.5kg, which probably explains it's massive sound. So not a bass if you've got a bad back or enjoying wowing your audience with your acrobatic prowess, no backward somersaults from the top of your rig with this strapped to you. I would prefer collection from Birmingham, but I am willing to travel to deliver for train fare. Trades welcome for an Overwater 6 string bass, either fretted or fretless. Also considering trades for either a Zon Sonus 6 or a Modulus Quantum 6. On hold - trade pending. Edited January 27, 2018 by ambient Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ambient Posted December 17, 2017 Author Share Posted December 17, 2017 A couple of people have asked about trades. I'd welcome a trade for an Overwater 6 string, either fretted or fretless. I can add cash to secure the right instrument. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ambient Posted December 19, 2017 Author Share Posted December 19, 2017 I'm surprised that amount of interest that I'm getting about this, especially with it having so many strings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No lust in Jazz Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 What's your Bandcamp profile? This guitar isn't for me but I just wanted to look in on your music. (Ian is a great buy to deal with BTW) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ambient Posted December 21, 2017 Author Share Posted December 21, 2017 I’ve had a few messages about trades. I have very specific wants regarding trades. It must have 6 strings, fretless is fine. Regarding manufacturers, ideally an Overwater, I love everything about Chris’s instruments. I would also be interested in trades for the following: Modulus Quantum, I had an amazing one for about 4 years and foolishly sold it two years ago. I still miss it now. Zon Sonus, I’ve owned a couple of these, they’d really suit what I do. I can add cash for the right instrument. Trade instruments must be in good condition.
