Does it make you want to try the Wal flavor again

Nah, I really AM a passive guy...it's gorgeous, though!

 

[bassplace]

Get a passive Wal. I had a Pro I for a while and it had a lot of classic Wal tone

Yeah, looks like it's time to start collecting Alembics, hunh?

 

[brconflict]

so that's where my bass went! nice to see you on here buddy!

You'll see it again, surely. You'll probably want to compare it to your new one when you get it.

It's funny how much attention these get in a music store. Took it into Guitar Center, plugged it into an Ampeg SVT w/8x10" cab, and when the store (actually did) get a little quiet, I let it rip! A handful of loud, grinding notes, and three other people were eyeballing the head-stock. One guy asked if GC was selling it. Perhaps I should have pranked him and hung it on the GC wall. Nah, that would have been wrong.

A couple of beauties showed up on ebay UK. But why do these sellers limit themselves to Collection only? they never get their asking prices that way.

Rare MkII fretless, hardly ever see one of those:

And a fretted MkI:

Hello kulit17.

A fiver too for collection only

I did not get why you mentioned it was for collection only? Aren't those in a playable shape? Can you clarify?

Thanks.
Val.

It's UK English - for local pick-up only...

PazzoBasso. Thanks for kind explanation I could have read better) though with 5% of asking prise spent on top on two-way trip from Moscow I can now easily make a local pick-up)) World is small

Actually I plan to make a deposit at Paul in 6-8 moths for a fretless 5er. And I planned to visit them in person to agree on woods etc. if they accept visits.

Being Mick Karn guy since 1988 I finally started playing bass just several years ago. And though I withstand GAS quite well still I need at least 2 Wals - 5er fretless and 4 fretted (as I am 99% fretless I do not take any other fretted option except fretted Wal).

Cheers everyone
Val

Hello Wal lovers!
Whats the fret radius on a 4 string Wal MK1? 12 inch? Or could it be 9.25?

Hello wal-nuts. I'm borrowing a friends wal and cant seem to find what all this preamp does. it a mid 80's model "custom bass", mach 2 i believe. 2 internal trim pots and to of the knobs on the front pull out. Any links to some literature?

I would start by Googling "Wal Electronics"

 

[ampegfuzz]

i did a bit but seemed that the internal electrics seemed different then the ones in the bass i have in my possession. Too many trim pots in the ones i'm finding. Apparently this bass once belonged to the bassist in "Saga" and has been in my friends hands for 10 or so years. Also wal-mart seems to have more pull in my search then the bass company

edit:

should i just assume its exactly the same as this sans the low cut trim pots?
