Where do you live?... Like specific address? First, I'm going to sell you a bill for the pants I ruined because of your Wal... and then I'm gonna take it
Best I can do is send more photos.
I guess I'll settle... Yes please!
What a gorgeous grain! A Wal is definitely on my "endgame" list.
Here’s my ‘bursts’ that aren’t 3-tone sunbursts with tort. They got fresh strings and a full service clean/ setup yesterday. I’ve owned both since new. Also a few closeups of the Sterling neck (oil finish). Really starting to show it’s age. And my cat, who loves to play with strings when I change them.
-96 EBMM Sterling in ‘Sunburst’
-MJT ‘51 in ‘2-Tone Sunburst’ build w/ MIM U neck

Just finished this yesterday. A 54 style contoured P bass body customized from Rosser Guitars with a EMG MMTW humbucker and solderless wiring harness in Push Pull humbucker/single coil modes with a 83 Squier Bullet Bass Tele neck and an American Deluxe String through bridge.Finished with two layers of Tru Oil.
Sounds great, although I have only ever had one other single humbucker bass, A Sterling by Musicman Ray34 active bass to compare it to. Still a fan of the passive P bass but its growing on me.

Thanks, I did a 51 style slab body a couple years back and loved the raw basic approach with the single coil pickup wanted to see what a single humbucker would do after picking up a Sterling Ray 34. Only 2 Active basses I own. I kinda fall into the traditional P bass crowd as far as preference but like to roll my own in guitars and basses.One of the coolest basses I've seen here in a while!
Love the simplicity.

Super nice. So does Wal still make basses? It looks brand new.

That'll be lovely, if you match up that up with the pickguard material on the right.
