Well, that isn't the slighest bit gorgeous. Not at all.......

Hi Mike. I thought you’d guess in the end! 🤣

And here's some from when Pete was building my spalted maple 5 ❤️

Looking through some old phot albums this morning and found lots of Wal-related pictures. These were my two main basses in the early 2000s. Why did I ever sell them? The fretless in particular, as although I bought it used I've never seen another like it.

Remember mine is a passive Pro 1, so only the little scratch plate over the control cavity.

It’s a converted Pro Mike.

Turns out the pickup cavity isn’t grounded to the control cavity. Was that normal for these basses at the time?

Two 82s just showed up at BassBros. Prices not too crazy either. Bass 1 - PB1150 Bass 2 - PB1705

Yes, I am in the UK. Only about an hour’s drive from Paul actually. I tend to call but emailed this time - we’ve know each other nearly forty years!

Anyone got a wiring schematic for a passive 1982 Pro 1? I’ve got some grounding buzz…

Paul has some in the post to me today 👍

And I should also say hello. I haven't posted to TB for a long time, but I used to be walbassist on here. I've owned lots of fabulous Wals over the years :hyper:

Hello all Can anyone advise what screws I need for a Wal Mk 1 bridge? The ones on my Pro 1 are badly rusted and I would like to replace them. Thanks all :)

I haven't done a side by side, but I have swapped out the four way rotary to a six way in the five string and much prefer it. I went for the middle solo over the bridge solo version and find it more versatile. Other than that, the basses are identical apart from the fingerboard, so I can't...

I live these basses. I have the limited edition Rio Dream bass and a 5 ❤️
