Overwater progress 3 first impressions

[Monz]

Well at 36" it makes my stingray feel like a telecaster by comparison eeeek

After an hour of playing I'm getting used to it but the clarity of the sound on all strings and especially the low B is mind blowing, I honestly didn't realise until I A/B'd it with the stingray and it blew the stingray out of the water (and I really like my stingray)

The EQ is so precise and effective it needs very slight adjustment to achieve a completely different tone and being able to pan onto a neck pickup is delightful (stingray is the single humbucker)

Will bore you all to death again soon as I discover more joys of Overwater ownership

PS Thanks Iain you are a true gent

Congrats!

Progress 3's are stunning and the build on them is absolutely phenominal. When I got my old one (gone now) I must have spent about 20 mins just looking at it. I know what you mean about the 36" scale, it really does control that B string well and it doesnt take too long to get used to either. I have a Overwater Jazz at 35" now and that is a bit more aggresive on the B but I quite like that.

You have to get some pictures up to support the Overwater "porn" thread now so we can all have a good look.

To be honest for the type of nusic we play it's perfect (so was the stingray) but the overwater makes the stingray sound weak by comparison. It's not as aggresive in in your face as the stingray but packs a lot bigger punch in a balanced way, if that makes any sense... I can't wait to gig it for the first time on Saturday

Glad you are enjoying it, and that it has gone to a good home!
