Overwater Original – A beast of a bass! | Gaz Williams

gazwilliams.me

The Overwater Original bass is a unique instrument with intriguing features like a carved top and a graduated fret system, offering ease of play and exceptional bending action. Its connection to John Entwistle adds a layer of allure. However, the bass is not universally versatile, as its forceful sound can be overwhelming for certain musical settings, such as surf music. While it promises rich tonal options, the bass's size poses challenges for storage and transport. Overall, it's a compelling choice for niche projects but may not suit every bassist's needs.
