Yum yum, that's what I think

[Stingray5]

Yow! That's one damn fine figure of a bass you have there, sir!

[odub]

That is very nice indeed,

Remains classy but different enough from the norm to stand out

[silky13]

Yep she sounds great, the Audere pre has a really musical quality to it and is very fexible coupled with the large Swamp Ash Body and thick Maple 35" scale neck you get a lot of depth to the tone. I really love having the P/J set-up it gives me everything I need.

Cheers

Hey Laurence,

Stunning mate! Absolutely fantastic!!!

I was up the day Gee? was finishing it off the neck, machineheads on and what not. You weren't around.. Looks phenomenal anyway! I'm hoping to be coming up sometime soon!

Best wishes! Matt

Blimey!! That's one really smart bass. Awesome.

[d-basser]

i think it is terrible, tell you what if you give me a tenner I will take it off your hands, no more said. Believe me it will save you so much embarrassment...

I could get lost in that grain detail for days! Very nice indeed, I bet it looks even better in person.

Do you have any issues with certain brands of strings, having a 35" scale [i]and[/i] through body stringing? i.e. Do you find that some brands of string have windings that stop a little short of the nut? Just curious as I've got a 35" bass in the making.

[phsycoandy]

V Nice another Jazz on Steroids!

[iamthewalrus]

I want one....I really want one!

That's a lovely piece of kit Laurence - enjoy!

Cheers,

epic..

Once again gentleman thank you for all your kind words, basically I needed a bass that would fit in to any situation from Metal to Jazz and virtually everthing in between and this bass really does deliver.

(Do you have any issues with certain brands of strings, having a 35" scale and through body stringing? i.e. Do you find that some brands of string have windings that stop a little short of the nut? Just curious as I've got a 35" bass in the making.)

Peted to answer your question on strings, Overwater have all their strings custom made so they are long enough for 35" scale through body stringing as well as standard 36" scale. They worked really hard to find the tension and gauges that feel really comfortable on extended range instruments and they do really feel and sound great.

Cheers

Laurence
