martthebass Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 That is very nice, makes my Walnut/Spanish cedar perception deluxe look plain in comparison. Is the finish the standard satin or the gloss upgrade? Quote
purpleblob Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 Oooo, I do like a bit of buckeye burl. Very nice. Quote
NJE Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 Buckeye and Maple necks are the best combo ever. Congratulations thats going to be a stunner. Quote
FLoydElgar Posted October 15, 2009 Author Posted October 15, 2009 (edited) Wow such a great response. Buckeye burl is such a wonderful wood. I'll keep people updated with the process! I have other pics of the wood before it went under the process Anybody who''s interested in a new bass should consider Overwater. Speak to Chris May - He's such a nice guy!

Front - Claro Walnut with matching headstock Back - Spanish Cedar 3 piece maple neck with ebony unlined fretless board Build completed Sept 2008. Pickup combo and pre like the set you've spec'd. I know to keep costs down the standard finish is satin - but I think the woods on this would have benefitted from a Status-esque deep poly gloss (probably wouldn't have done much for the sound tho). The bass is very light - I guess about 7 lbs (about the same as my Streamline), but balances nicely. Quote
jwbassman Posted October 16, 2009 Posted October 16, 2009 I saw this in the flesh (wood) when I was up in Carlisle a couple of weeks back collecting my new Overwater - a stunning piece of work Chris and the guys really know their stuff, great guys too... enjoy Quote
pantherairsoft Posted October 16, 2009 Posted October 16, 2009 Awesome looking... Nicest one I've seen since mine was made ;-) great stuff Quote
Tinman Posted October 17, 2009 Posted October 17, 2009 Absolutely love that Buckeye Burl. Quite different to that which is on my Shuker, I had much more yellow pieces put on it. Beautiful. Quote
