    Double Bass Sonores Gut Strings by Gerold Genssler

    Double Bass All Things Walter Woods

    Sadly, I've had two unsuccessful attempts to get my Blue Light WW back up and running, despite it being in near-mint cosmetic condition. Mario at Upscale Music spent months trying to repair it, and Advanced Electronics in Los Angeles also had it for months with no luck. For now, I'm hanging...

    Double Bass Sonores Gut Strings by Gerold Genssler

    Tito! Can't wait to hang! The Corax would be a perfect change up from the Chordas. They're similar in size, they have slightly more tension but nowhere near a steel string and feel light under the hands, very loud and punchy. Just to confirm their validity, I put my old set of Basso's EA and...

    Genssler's W26's! I've had this set on my bass for over a year and they're not coming off anytime soon. I recently ordered a backup set, as they're that good. E and A are steel wrapped, so you get some nice lowend growl, while the D and G are wrapped in a synthetic material that feels like gut...

    Can anyone repair a Walter Woods Amplifier? Is Walter still in business?

    I found a spot in West LA, Advanced Musical Electronics, which has serviced numerous WW amps over the years. I dropped the amp off this afternoon, fingers crossed! I'll give an update as soon as possible.

    Circa 2006-2008-ish other than being non-functioning, it's in dead mint condition. I don't think it ever left the previous owners house.

    Sadly, my WW decided to stop working. I changed the fuse and the light came back on, but now it just makes a loud low end hum when turned on. If anyone has had luck with a tech let me know. Thank you!!!
