It has now been two weeks since I have touched a Wal.... I think I'll email paul tomorrow to ask him how life is going. in two weeks it will have been 1 year since I placed the order.

Nice! So, when you order, do you have to pay up front or half up front? Just curious. I'd love to own a Wal someday, but the high cost keeps me away. You know because I'm poor. LOL

I would try to make as big of payments as possible. You also pay all of the incurred PayPal fees so you can add 5.2% to each payment. OR
Paul excepts direct transfers from your bank to his. My bank here in Canada charges about $30 to send an overseas money transfer.

I've had my new MkI for a few weeks now, figured it was time to post a picture. It's the one on the right, curly birdseye maple with a light coloured ebony fretboard. Picture is kinda crappy, maybe I'll try to get another one tonight.
please post more pics maedros. is that a new build? if so, was yours an up charge Birdseye top?
Not a new build, it was the one I got off Bassdirect maybe a month ago, it's a 1990 in pristine condition. Apparently it was owned by a collector who didn't play bass and it never left the case, there's not a mark on it, I'm pretty friggin happy with it. I'll get more pics tonight if I can!
Man did you seriously luck out, 1990 in pristine condition, congratulations on the bass, simply AWESOME!!!!

I think it's time for a drive up to Montreal....
Too bad you can't make the Toronto GTG I'm doing March 15, I'd love to hear and play a Wal bass.

There are a few guys on here from around Toronto, I think I'm planning a trip down this summer, is your GTG bass related? I'm a pretty serious foodie and there are a couple of restaurants I want to check out (Momofuku, Scarpetta, etc).
I was thinking of going to that GTG and bringing a couple of my Wals....but Tool just called a show in Vegas for that date and im seriously thinking of going.
Tool??? Vegas?? When??
btw any left handed Wal players???

Cool, no mahogany core. Looks like solid ash.
Intersting tuning machines: four goofy little non-original, and one original. Also looks like the ball of the B string doesnt fit the bridge....at all!
The GTG is all bass related, guys from around TO or other parts like London, Oshawa, etc. Whomever can make the drive out will be there.
Last time one guy brought a home made all tube amp head, the sound was Thunderous...! Another guy brought a new Acoustic 360 amp, others have brought their own handbuilt basses, etc.
Lots of nice basses, amps, good networking opportunity for people, and some bring stuff to sell as well.
You can only get replacement knobs by ordering them straight from Paul, he can be reached at [email protected] .
Is there a website set up or a post somewhere with info? It's really only a short car ride or train away from me and I was planning to go down this summer anyways, if I can work it out I'd love to go.
