Hi I used to use a hardware tuner with a built in mic for what you just described. What I’ve also found useful is to programme in the scales and arpeggios you want to practise into a DAW to play along with. That way you also train your ear to adjust your pitch to the play along. I’m sure...

I tried a sub 5 recently and was really impressed with the sound. The neck felt a little chunky for me personally but a nice bass.

Yes, I agree. The mk 1 and 2 are what I also think of as the classic Wal. But I got mk3’s in the end because I prefer the practicality of them for me personally - and they look great!

Hi All After having tried to simplify things with just 4 strings (proud owner of a mk3 fretted and fretless, which are great), I find myself missing having a 5 string bass, so I’m looking to get a cheap or reasonable priced 5 string, to keep me going until I can afford to get Paul to make a Wal...

Cheers for the input. I think for me in an ideal world I'll get a 4 string fretless and a mk3 5 string fretless!

Hi all, First time posting here but long time reader :) Recently I put an order in for 2 basses with Paul, one will be a 5 string fretted mk3, the other a fretless. But I still haven’t decided on the spec of the fretless and I thought I would ask the opinion of you guys here. I can’t decide...

Thanks for the feedback, I guess it's just the way the strings feel under my own individual hands. ;)

Hi all I'm new to Talkbass but have been following the string threads with great interest. I recently put Evah Weichs on my bass and I agree with all the positive feedback on the sound of these strings. However I have found them a bit rubbery, in term of feel - they stick to my fingers a bit...
