Lovely bass, would have held on to this except for a certain one-off bass that's now available. Here's what the former owner said about it:
The bass is an Overwater Progress Three Custom Deluxe. It was delivered in April last year (2009) and is almost unplayed - it is entirely as new - indeed, apart from a professional set up 3 weeks ago with Overwater rounds (Ged Green), it is as it left the workshop - it even smells new. I can't emphasise just how gorgeous this bass is. Just a few features:
Lightweight central American mahogany body
Burl poplar facings (with black accent)
Maple and purpleheart neck
Birds-eye maple fingerboard
Pickup covers in burl poplar
Kent Armstrong (designed for Overwater) pickups
Overwater 3 band EQ
Abalone dots
Abalone logo inlay
Burl poplar facing on head
The bass plays beautifully and sounds superb - Overwaters are the choice of a lot of UK session players (they're so playable and versatile). This one really looks a bit special and comes in a Hiscox liteflite case. Original price was just over £2650 (now it would be £2790 I'm told). [snip]
There are a couple of pictures of the Overwater in the Basschat gear porn section 'The Overwater Porn Thread' (post number 41). Emphasis mine
There's not much to add to loz's detailed and concise exposition, except that the electronics are a proprietary system and are very musical and offer many useful tones. This is a fantastic bass, but I reckon I can get one later on - maybe not as nice one as this is, but I hear Overwaters are quite consistent. There's a one of a kind bass available right now. When it sells, this is pulled off the market.
Scott Devine plays Overwaters and his tone is somewhat more polite than what I get from this bass, but I'm sure that is due to technique and attack. This bass does get the same tone when played softly.
Looking for 1550 pounds until the end of this week. The bass is in perfect condition, without any blemishes, faults or so forth. Comes with a good Hiscox case.
I've used a photo from Loz and one of mine as it was quite dark last weekend - I'll be home tomorrow and will be able to shoot more photos then. No luck with the sun, but here's a few new photos anyways:
