Overwater fretless bass. Old original shape. Project. SOLD SOLD SOLD £200 Cardiff

[gelfin]

An original Overwater bass. Fretless. Now sold thanks all for your interest and input.

 

This is offered for sale as a project. I bought it in this condition with the intention of doing the restoration myself. But have never found the time.

 

It has one major issue. It has a crack in the neck at the rear near the headstock. Visible in the photo's. 

However the neck is straight and level.

The electronics do work but realistically would need replacing.

The body and neck have been sanded to bare wood with the exception of the front of the headstock.

 

There is a case included in the auction.

Shipping is possible. Will update the listing when I can an idea of cost.

Do you ever come over the bridge to Bristol? I appear to be in restoration mode having bought a load of stuff for a double bass restoration.

Unlined fretless too!! Mmmm

I’d be very interested. Thanks

pm.

A mere scratch...

Did you see the damage to the Spector Euro LX 5 string I had??? Much worse than this...

Pretty sure there are several BCers who can put this right...calling @Andyjr1515...

I reckon so Mick. Been after a decent unlined fretless and just bought some lovely hide glue for my double bass project.

I don't actually think this is that far away from being a great instrument once again... a very interesting project for someone!

Bargain, and looks like an easy project.

Shame I can't get anything resembling a tune out of an unlined fretless...

+1

They look like Bill Lawrence pick ups too... 

Must sound really good (in the right hands of course)..

Oh my... I love the shape and the plain fretboard... do you ship overseas? Any ideas of trades?
