BarnacleBob Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 (edited) Thinking of pulling the trigger on this one [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110500469115&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT"]Here[/url] I am only put off by the odd facings but seems a bargain overall. Already have a Perception, the sale of which will go some way to offset the cost, so basically only paying a few hundred quid for it yet still I hesitate. And they do say he who hesitates is yada,yada, yada...... Basically I want talked into it so when the Missus clocks it I can say some big boys made me do it and ran away! BB ps if anyone feels this is in the wrong place please move it, thanks Edited March 4, 2010 by BarnacleBob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJE Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 DO IT!!!! ha ha That is a great price and if your sale will cover most of it then brilliant. For what its worth I think the facing is really nice, there is a good contrast between the back and top, I think its stunning. I have a Progress 5 string and absolutely love it in every way, the Overwate r neck-throughs are beautiful and the access up the dusty end is fantatsic. My progress and I went through a small slump in the relationship recently and I was looking at other basses, but after practice last night I could not be happier it was just perfect. Its a bargain DO IT!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martthebass Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 Nice bass BB, Overwaters tend to go for tiny money on ebay for some reason (mine was a rare bargain). Snag it while you can.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarnacleBob Posted March 5, 2010 Author Share Posted March 5, 2010 (edited) Here is a pic of Perception it would replace........... Also as I am undecided if anyone else wants to take a swing at the Progression and put me out my misery its not a problem......

First time I've been Wal-less in 30 yrs BB[/quote] That's bad luck! I got hold of him no problem by phoning (didn't respond to my email though). I sent my bass to him a couple of weeks back for a refin, dunno when I'll get it back though! Sorry to go OT. The Overwater in the OP looks lovely, and seems a great price. I'd go for it if I had the spare dough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tis very sexy[/quote] Betty is indeed a very sexy lady but doesnt get the attention she deserves as she is huge, as u can see, although shes not too heavy and balances well the neck goes on forever. I only hold on to her as it took me twenty years to find her. Chris at Overwater will build u one for £2.5K BB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
