FT mainly: Overwater Progress III Custom Deluxe 6. As new.

Sign in to disble this ad
Roscoe is sold, this is now primarily for trade for 'what have you.'
But as always, something I want has become available and so I need to sell something.

GBP1500 anyone? Should be quite fair I think. For someone who likes the idea of a 6, but hates cramped spaces of 18mm bridge spacing basses, this would be an excellent 6 with plenty of useful tones, and for once an EQ the extreme positions of which I use every time I play.

It's a 35" scale bass, with a long upper horn and bridge very near the edge of the body --> not much of a reach at all! Lovely bass, would have held on to this except for a certain one-off bass that's now available. Here's what lozbass 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. 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. 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.

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's too dark to shoot a photo of the bass now.


More photos in my photobucket album.
