hestan Posted August 15, 2007 Posted August 15, 2007 (edited) Overwater Progress III Deluxe 6 String with hardcase. Only 2 years old, bought brand new, in excellent condition and frets/setup have been done twice by Chris. £1500. It is a reluctant sale - I was lucky enough to recently aquire a Fodera Imperial 5 and as I already have a custom Overwater fretless I feel this beautiful bass needs a new home. It really is a stunning bass with only a couple of little dints in the laquer on the rear of the bass and immaculate on the front.

jwbassman Posted August 15, 2007 Posted August 15, 2007 Looks great - and I know it will sound superb too (I've got a Progress Fretless 5)... If I had any spare cash I'd be coming to see you Bump for a great bass...
phagor Posted August 15, 2007 Posted August 15, 2007 (edited) hestan, that's a beautiful bass... good luck with the sale. But also, what a knockout arrangement of "I'm Old Fashioned" - really well played. Edited August 15, 2007 by phagor
lawriemacmillan Posted August 18, 2007 Posted August 18, 2007 I can vouch for this genuine sale. This bass and Johnny are both marvelous players and having owned one similar, it's tough finding a better [i]specialized[/i] instrument at this quality and price in the UK. If you've always fancied one, save yourself the long wait that you'll face when ordering one new!!!!
Steve A Posted August 19, 2007 Posted August 19, 2007 I owned a 5 string Progress III for a while and only sold it due to needing a more traditional sound. The Overwaters are clear, tight, focussed, with an incredible B string. I can't recommend them highly enough if you're looking for a modern bass.
