History

For over twenty five years the name of Overwater has been synonymous with the finest hand crafted bass guitars, producing over three thousand instruments during this time.
Company founder Chris May - a musician, designer and instrument technician - has always kept close ties with both sides of the industry and has worked with and for many of the UK's leading Jazz and Rock musicians.
With a reputation that has spread throughout the world, Overwater bass guitars continue to draw the attention of discerning musicians, both amateur and professional. Our objective remains, as it always has, to offer the creative musician the means by which he or she may best express their art.
In more recent years Overwater activities have broadened to include distribution of other bass specialist products and instruments, including Euphonic Audio and own brand Overwater strings and accessories.
