[b][size=3]Update on 11th September at 16:55...

this bass is currently sitting on e-bay at £730 with just over 4 hours to go.[/size][/b]

I think I'm going to cry :)





I originally posted this ad up on TalkBass, but a member from this forum suggested I give you guys a try...

Up for grabs - an Overwater six string electric bass

The bass is a Progress Series III Elite Custom six string, 36" scale length, full walnut overlay top with matching headstock. If you scroll down on this page [url="http://www.overwaterbasses.com/bass.aspx?t=1&c=3"]http://www.overwaterbasses.com/bass.aspx?t=1&c=3[/url] you'll see the specs for the elite. I've attached a couple of pictures. The photos are quite representative, but I reckon it looks even better in the flesh. Condition is very good and it has been well looked after with regular maintenance and set ups at Overwater.

I'm not sure what the retail is on these basses now, but when I got mine it was £2690. I'll consider all reasonable offers. I've seen lesser spec'd Overwaters go for £1800, so somewhere in that region would be nice. I'll be really sad to see it go, but needs must.

(By the way - here's a sound clip of the bass DI'd - both pickups open: [url="http://www.naturalstudio.co.uk/misc/ns_bass_presampling.mp3"]http://www.naturalstudio.co.uk/misc/ns_bass_presampling.mp3[/url])

N.B. there are more images on the second page of this post!

Cheers,

Douglas.

P.S. please feel free to PM me to get my telephone number - I'll happily answer any questions you may have...

That's a smart looking piece of kit - I play an Overwater Progress III Fretless 5 so I know how good these basses are...

Good luck with the sale :)[/quote]
Thanks for the comments - I've never heard of an unhappy Overwater player. I'm going to be really sad to see it go.

Im not sure, but basses costing this much usually take ages to sell, especially as Overwater is a pretty speciaslist sorta manufacturer. It is a stunner though!! Id love it but already have one.

Good Luck, M :)

Okay then - here we are... it's after Christmas and I'm trying one more time.

Anyone interested in this bass for £1500?

I can't believe no ones snapped this up, for £1250, thats unreal... :)

If this came up before I got mine, id probably have probably gone for this despite being second hand.
Can Chris at Overwater not suggest or help you out with selling this?

Il spread the word, im not sure if my mate is after another one... it'd be a shame to see this go on Ebay for waaay less than what its worth!!!!

[quote name='douglas81' post='234225' date='Jul 7 2008, 03:36 PM']Well, I never did get a reasonable offer for the bass. I've been very patient, but this is my last call - anyone interested? If not, I think it'll have to go on e-bay :-(

Surely someone out there is tempted... surely![/quote]
Yes, I know. I thought it would be quite easy to shift. My offer of £1250 was really just a tempter. I'd be hoping for offers over that - nearer the £1500 mark. I still think it's worth more than that, but... offers over £1250 for now.
