Gorgeous, I've always had a thing for Overwater J-basses, my old tutor had a fretted/fretless pair that were to die for. There's something about a totally bare wood bass that I love

Yeah I’ve had an American Deluxe Jazz V that’s similar. With the “wood” finish and I had to go for it again with this Overwater
