Unfortunately Overwater have historically leaned towards the heavier side of things, although obviously they could build you something lighter if you asked. 

I'm probably not in that price bracket :-). £2K would be a sting for me, but I'm pretty tempted to whack it on the card anyway.

I rang enquiring about Overwaters in the early 90s but the guy was so offhand it put me off.

I wanted to know prices/availability etc but he wouldn't tell me & just kept asking how much exactly I had to spend. 

Not knowing their prices (pre internet days remember) I guesstimated £1000 ish (I had a LOT more available having just sold a house)

His reply - "you're not gonna get a lot for that here" - I said I had more if necessary so he took my address & said he would send a price list.

He didn't & I bought elsewhere!

Unlike the example in the OP the 5-string versions of the Original in the 80s also had a 36" scale length.

Here are the two I use to own:

1983 fretless:

and a 1985/6 fretted:

Both have now been moved on to other Basschat members.

 

I’m in love. If you still had  them I’d be  making an offer!
