iamthewalrus Posted December 23, 2009 Posted December 23, 2009 [quote name='JPJ' post='544631' date='Jul 19 2009, 11:35 AM']Here's my Overwater beauty. She's become my main gigging bass and I think this is everything I've ever wanted in a J bass format. [/quote] I've got one of these - I'll post some pics soon, but mine is the following spec: Body: Tulipwood with a Quilted Maple top (Blue) Neck: Curly Maple with Maple binding. Hardware: Hipshot Bridge & Tuners Electrics: John East Preamp & OW own pickups. I love it - would be gutted if I ever had to sell it.... Cheers, iamthewalrus Quote

Oldman Posted June 29, 2010 Posted June 29, 2010 Hi, thought I would post Black Beauty on this thread. I indulged myself for my 60th and Chris did a good job from my e-mails and phone description of what I wanted, especially so as I was working in Azerbaijan at the time. I had been playing (infrequently) a NT Thumb 4 fretted from new since 1990 and I though this might be a string too far, it was !!! 6 Months later I convinced myself I needed a fretted 35"so I bought a Spector Euro 5LX to assist me in my search for the truth, that worked [attachment=53248:Black_Beauty_2.jpg][attachment=53244:Overwate...eadstock.jpg][attachment=53246:Bla ck_Beauty.jpg] Quote

martinbass7750 Posted June 30, 2010 Posted June 30, 2010 Here's my perception, sadly I'm in the picture too. [attachment=53315:martin_overwater2..png] Lovely bass, great to play and great sound Martin Quote
lozbass Posted July 11, 2010 Posted July 11, 2010 Err...now with far better images (still not great i'm afraid!) A lovely bass for noodling moments - a nice slim neck and easy to get around on Quote

I'm really pleased with it - I think the aesthetic element of Chris' work is sometimes overlooked (probably not in this thread!) The build quality is absolutely outstanding, as it the choice of timbers, carving, finishing etc. The bass plays beautifully too - the easiest six I've ever played - sculpted neck and lovely low action. I find the tone very even across the strings - clean and clear with a big fundamental - versatile but nothing extreme or particularly characteristic in the sound (possibly why a lot of session players use Overwaters).

It's a stunner - couldn't quite work out why I couldn't get on with it until Steve informed me it's a 36" scale Quote
BigRedX Posted July 13, 2010 Author Posted July 13, 2010 But that's the great thing about those Overwater basses. I went to almost straight to mine from playing a Burns short scale bass (29½"), and I didn't spot the extra long scale until I bought my first set of replacement 34" strings for them and wondered why the silks extended past the nut!

pablo100 Posted March 6, 2011 Posted March 6, 2011 Sorry for the quality of the pic, but this is the best photo I've got of me playing my Overwater... [attachment=74068:earlefest07.jpg] Quote
