Why do you choose to play Overwater basses?

I play Overwater basses because of their attention to detail and pride in their workmanship. The build quality and, most importantly, the passion, advice and customisable options for the instruments they build are second to none. My Overwater basses are unique to me and custom-built to the specifications that suit me as a player.
