Overwater Progress III Custom 7 String Bass. Incredible Quilt Maple Top. £1400. £1400 Basildon, Essex.

Hi all,

So I am debating another custom build... as such I'm turning loose this rather splendid 7 string Overwater Progress III bass. It's a beautiful bass in immaculate condition and works exactly as it should. It has a mahogany body with a fantastic quilt maple top and a nice thick ebony fretboard. Looking at the current Overwater price list, this would be near £4500 to have made today, so save yourself over £3000 and buy my one!

The tonal palette is vast, you can achieve crisp, bell like, paino-esque tones through to super boomy bass and pretty much everything in between. This is only for sale to fund another custom build, otherwise I'd keep it! 

It has recessed strap pins that work with Dunlop strap locks. The bridge is the standard Overwater high mass bridge, and excellent piece of design. The pickups are Overwater Kent Armstrong pickups and it had 'factory' custom wood top hat knobs with centre indents. It really is about as good as you can get for a bass! 

Scale is 35"

Spacing at bridge is 18mm

Spacing at nut is 9mm

weight is 5.9kg

All in it is an absolute monster of an instrument in the best of condition made in the UK by one of the finest luthiers. £1400 is a steal for a mint £4400 bass. 

Collection from Basildon, Essex is preferred, but postage can be arranged.

Any questions, let me know!

I think you'll find it's a walnut body - not mahogany.

I will happily stand corrected!
