Overwater Hybrid Series Custom 5

The Overwater Hybrid Series brings together the classic style, feel, and sound of both Precision and Jazz basses to deliver exceptional playability, tonal flexibility, and the unmistakable craftsmanship that has made Overwater a premier name among professional bass players worldwide.

Blending traditional inspiration with modern innovation, the Hybrid Series combines the multi-laminate construction, angled headstock, and superior neck joint of the Progress bolt-on design with the sleek body profile of Overwater’s Contemporary J models. The result is a custom bass that captures vintage character while offering the reliability, comfort, and performance demanded by today’s players.

This custom build features a lightweight Swamp Ash body topped with stunning blonde European Olive Ash, matched at the headstock for a cohesive boutique finish. A 35" 3-piece Maple neck with Maple fretboard provides smooth, bright articulation and effortless access across all 24 frets. Outfitted with dual Overwater’s SB5 pickups and exclusive 3-band active EQ, this instrument delivers an unmatched tonal palette—making it the perfect professional 5-string bass for studio recording, theatre gigs, concert halls, and everything in between.
