Overwater Contemporary J Series
5-string Jazz Bass Guitar
The J Series are a range of traditionally inspired basses incorporated with Overwater craftsmanship, sound and playability and are available with both ‘Classic’ and ‘Contemporary’ styling.
Introduced in the late 90’s and, as with most Overwater developments, the Overwater Jazzes responded to established customer needs for instruments that combined more ‘traditional’ styling with contemporary electronics and a ’boutique’ approach to build quality and craftsmanship.
Overwater ‘ J’ pickups, while maintaining a traditional single coil tonality, combine ‘ noiseless’ technology with internal shielding – using a fine copper mesh to ensure a high quality, low noise output signal.
Custom options offer ‘passive’ EQ (usually coupled with our custom ‘ flat response’ buffer pre-amp) for a more old school approach to the controls which, at the same time, delivers increased flexibility and improved signal quality. Alternatively, an active 2 or 3 band EQ is available, catering for those who want the facility of additional on-board controls.
