Wal Bass Club.

Hi Guys, been a lurker here for a while and finally thought I'd sign up! This thread is much more active than the one on Basschat, so I'm looking forward to chatting to some fellow Wal enthusiasts.

Nothing compared to the mighty collections some of you guys have but I currently have two Wals;

A brand new MK3 Six with Ziricote facings, picked up from Paul a month back.

and a 2014 fretless mk1 with Violet stained sycamore facings;

I had to move my 95 Shedua sixer on for the fretless but I couldn't justify two sixers right now unfortunately.

I'm chatting with Paul about ordering a fretted Mk3 four string with a trans white finish but details are yet to be finalized... plus it's a 24 month wait!

Anyway I'm new so be gentle :)

Wasn't Spiritchaser's purple Wal fretted originally?

It was a factory fretless according to the masking tape, sorry about the crap photo

Good to see you finally broke down and joined us here @CamdenRob ;)
Besides, focusing on work is too responsible......

I'm a little worried quite how much work I'm going to be getting done from now on what with all the time I already spend on basschat... I think my Talkbass activity will have to be limited to this thread only :)

I needed to be here really, this is clearly where all the serious Wal stuff goes down.
