Season's Greetings from the Overwater Basses workshop!
Well, the trees are decorated, the High Streets brightly lit, and Slade is on constant replay….it must be Christmas! And, while you will have been enjoying your Christmas parties, Santa's Little Helpers have been hard at it in the Overwater Basses workshop, busily sawing, sanding, soldering and stringing-up electric basses, so that they'll all be finished, polished and ready for Santa to collect on Christmas Eve on his way to deliver them to your house!
What's that…? What can we hear you say…? You forgot to put "a gorgeous, shiny Overwater Electric Bass" on your Christmas letter to Santa???
WAIT - DON'T PANIC!!!
It just so happens that the Overwater elves have quietly hidden a little stash of choice Overwater Basses in a cupboard, just in case Santa needed some spares. But they may be persuaded to gift wrap them in some festive paper and foil bow or two, ready for Santa to deliver them down your chimney on Christmas Eve! So, boys and girls, get your pencils and paper out, ready to write your letter to Santa, 'cos here comes your Christmas treat!...

Handy Xmas tip from the elves: if you think you may have problems justifying your Overwater purchase to your partner/parents/kids/bank manager, may we suggest you tell them that (apart from the fact you've been soooo good all year, you absolutely deserve it), according to the Mayan Calendar, the World is due to end on Saturday 22nd December, so this may be your very last chance to buy an Overwater Basses bargain before the end of the World!!! – What better excuse could you possibly have???
