Description
Five-string sophistication, Overwater style..
Combining top tier craftsmanship with a reputation for producing instruments that meet the needs of serious players, the Perception range offers something a little different from the usual high-street offerings. This 2005 5 String Standard Deluxe is a particularly interesting example, bringing five-string versatility together with the understated appeal of a well-made boutique bass.
The additional low B string opens up plenty of possibilities for players looking for extended range, whether that’s adding depth to heavier arrangements, exploring more expansive playing styles or simply having a little more room to work with. A distinctive alternative to the more familiar names, Overwater basses are made in the UK and have earned a following among players who appreciate something beyond the ordinary.
There is slight fret wear, along with a few small scuffs, scratches and impressions. Some lacquer checking is also present in places, although there are no significant dings or damages. The original hardware is included.
A great opportunity to get your hands on a British-built five-string with plenty of character, offered in good, used condition.
