I bought this last year from a basschatter.  (using pics from that post)

Very nice bass

I've been waiting forever for one of these to pop up in one of our well known emporiums as I would need to trade-in. The wait goes on. 

 

Stunner!

I’ve owned 4 Overwater Progress basses during my time on Basschat, they are superb basses well put together and sound exceptional. These Perception Basses represent a fab price point entry into great basses. And this one looks the Biz GLWTS

Oof that's nice

Great looking bass - there is a beautiful 7 string on here too that is well priced.

I only play 6ers nowadays and whenever they come up, they're typically priced a lot higher than yours and the 7 string.

GLWTS.

Hi dude.

The string spacing measurements you've quoted were taken from the bridge saddles or higher up? 14mm between B and E string sounds pretty tight.

Regards.

Is that measuring the space between the strings or from the centre of each string?

I think yours is great, great value. A beautiful hand made bass from a great luthier for less than a mass produced bass from the likes of Ibanez, Fender, etc.
