Promenade Music have a fantastic selection of bass guitars, the usual Fender Jazz and Precision models, plus Music Man Stingrays, an extensive range of Warwick basses, the unusual handcrafted in Germany models by Marleaux, Yamaha basses, Lakland basses (as used by Rolling Stones bassist Darryl Jones), Peavey, Squier, Levin, Gretsch, Westcoast, Danelectro and many more.
Over the last year or so, we have also begun to stock Overwater Basses.
Overwater are based (no pun intended) not far from us up in Carlisle, Cumbria, England, and the basses are designed and built there too!
Regarding their impetus to building their basses, they say:
"Our philosophy has always been to treat electric basses as acoustic instruments first. Electronics are important - but only to the extent that they can enhance what is already inherent in the bass: the fundamental tone must come from the wood!
As a general rule, anything with a specific gravity over about .85 (such as Bubinga, Cocobolo and all the Rosewoods) have a tendency to make the bass 'growl'. When light, resonant timbers like Swamp Ash, Alder or Sycamore are incorporated into a body, they give a clear open, 'hi-fi' sound.
Slightly heavier woods such as regular Ash and Maple add a little more brightness and punch, and those medium-weight, darker open-grained timbers such as Mahogany, Walnut and Lacewood emphasise the mid-range, which is great for classic fretless sounds and a fat, warm clarity in fretted basses."
