Overwater Basses is a fantastic company and bass maker. I used to hangout there often when I was a working musician in the U.K. I bought my six string bass there as well as my EA amplifier rig. I still use the gear to this day. Chris and Lawrence are the kindest of people and have a deep passion for what they do. Many of my students purchased their basses after I suggested it over and over lol. The basses are true works of art. The tone is out of this world. Check them out here: Overwater Basses

Happy International Fun Day. March 24, 2003. We (funk pop cover bands) did 10 shows a week Mon to Sat, then a jazz gig on Sun... for five months solid. Over 300 gigs in a row. 4am toboggan runs with skis, radios, and lasers attached. Was the bootcamp stage of becoming a musician. Here are some photos and audio recordings from that crazy fun special time. Some of us would snowshoe to the next town to go bowling. Too many stories. Wild times but grateful things are calm and peaceful now. French Alps near Italy & Switzerland.
