Collection: Overwater basses

Overwater Basses – Your Dealer in Europe

For over 40 years, Overwater has done one thing from a workshop in the north of England: build basses that refuse to compromise. Chris May started in 1979, and the Progress Series he introduced in the mid-80s is still the flagship today. That kind of staying power doesn't really happen by accident.

So why so few in Europe? Because Overwater builds in small numbers, by hand, and most of them never leave the UK. We're one of the rare stockists on the continent, which means you get genuine British craftsmanship without the post-Brexit import circus. We're in the EU, so the bass ships from the EU : no surprise customs bill landing in your inbox three weeks later. 

We carry the full range, including :

  • Progress Series : the flagship. Through-neck or bolt-on, Standard or Custom, four to six strings.
  • Hybrid : Progress build quality with J-style body and ergonomics.
  • Contemporary J : the classic voice, done the Overwater way.
  • P Series : timeless precision tone
  • Scott Devine Signature Model 

Whatever you pick: clear lows, singing mids, highs that sparkle without getting brittle. Equally at home tracking in the studio or holding down a stage. If you've been eyeing an Overwater from across the Channel and dreading the paperwork, this is the easy way. Have a taste of that Made-in-UK craftsmanship - minus the bureaucratic hell.
