2 New Overwater Basses To Be Completed Soon

I'm very excited about 2 basses that I am having Chris May and Martin Lee at Overwater in  Carlisle United Kingdom.

The first is a 33" scale maple/ash Jazz bass with downsized dimensions and close string spacing.  This bass will have a sunburst ash body with a maple neck and black bound maple fingerboard wit Overwater pickups and a passive buffered preamp.

Here is the Ash for the Jazz Bass:

Here is the neck fitted to the body:


This is my favorite picture, it is the maple neck with the ebony binding!


The second bass is a Scott Devine model 33" Perception bass with medium weight ash body, Spaele top, Wenge neck and fingerboard with Overwater pickups and East preamp.

The progrès pictures I have received from Martin look great and they basses should hit the spray booth next week and then be on their way to the USA in another 2 weeks.


Here is the Sapele top


I chose the fingerboard on the left:
