Overwater J Series Contemporary Custom 5 String
The Overwater J Series Contemporary Custom 5 blends classic J-style character with modern boutique refinements. Built around a 35" scale bolt-on maple neck for enhanced low-B clarity, this custom model features a swamp ash body topped with figured maple and finished in a striking Trans Blue Burst high-gloss finish—a visually stunning combination with excellent tonal balance and resonance.
A premium Birdseye Maple fingerboard delivers smooth playability and crisp articulation, accented by New Zealand Paua shell position markers and Luminlay side dots for exceptional visibility on any stage. The pair of OW Noiseless J5 pickups and Overwater’s transparent 3-band active EQ provide a wide tonal palette—ranging from warm vintage growl to modern punch and clarity—without unwanted hum.
Thoughtfully finished with Hipshot Ultralite tuners, an Overwater 18mm bridge, chrome-saddled hardware, and a Vintage White pearloid pickguard, this Contemporary Custom 5 exemplifies Overwater’s world-class build quality. Designed for professional performance, it offers outstanding comfort, tonal versatility, and boutique craftsmanship worthy of any serious bassist.
