This Overwater Custom J Series 5-string was custom built for me for a tour in late 2019 and used as my main 5-string for several years.

I’m only selling it because I’ve got too many basses and I’m downsizing — otherwise this one would be staying with me.

Why it stands out

This bass feels incredible on stage and sits perfectly in a mix. The low B is one of the best I’ve played on a 34” scale, and the neck makes moving around the fretboard effortless.

I’ve had loads of compliments on both the tone and the look of this bass at gigs.

Ideal for:

  • Professional gigging bassists
  • Session players
  • Session and touring musicians
  • Anyone looking for boutique-quality tone with real-world reliability

Bass will be professionally packed, fully insured, and shipped via UPS/DPD with tracking and signature required.

Happy to answer any questions and provide extra photos or videos on request.
