Looks a lefty to me :D

My apologies Matthew, I attempted a pun that may only work on North Americans who play right handed instruments... Thereby making right hand drive vehicles & lefties the "odd" version...

Not that there's anything wrong with that...

P.S. I always wanted to know what happens when someone drives through the tunnel to France from the UK (& vise-versa) .. Is there a crossing of lanes somewhere, so you end up on the opposite (and correct for the country) lane of traffic on the other side? & can you bring your bass, or will it also oppose itself?
 
unfortunately you do not drive through the tunnel, you are put on a train that does the work for you. You then change sides when you get off the train either in France or England. I must admit I would love to drive through it, I have a Caterham 7 and the noise would be wonderful for all those miles. :D

Regards

Matthew

Ahh, the train makes sense... Caterham 7 - Brilliant!

Uhhh, can't remember. :atoz:
I must have between 300-400 pictures saved in a file with very short descriptions of most of them.
This is the only close-up I've ever seen. I don't know if that's his typical knob settings, but the visibility is very clear.

Aw crap! Just lost my hard drive yesterday. Roughly 400 pictures and details saved of beautiful and some rare Wals, and now they're all gone. :crying: :mad:
The only few pics I have left are of my own basses I uploaded on photobucket.
 
@ Caca de Kick - sad to hear of your loss - was anything recoverable?

@ StevieDee - Congrats on the new Wal

@ jimmyjames - sorry to hear you have to let that baby go - I'm sure it will make someone very happy some day soon...


Are numbers still assigned in this club?

I've decided to start "clubbing" & see how many I can join...
 
Hi all,

I actually acquired this two months ago. I've only been off my "ramen-only" diet for a week or two. :hiding:

It has been worth it, though. It was pure bliss the first time I had her in my arms. Absolutely EVERYTHING I expected and more. I have been completely blown away by this bass. My only complaint is that I now have massive GAS for a fretless one, too.
