i had a Wal 6er for about a year or so....tried not to get attached to it since it was a temporary ownership. it was a beast! @ercompa owns it now. that guy using the looper also has a fretless 6er (he's on basschat as camdenrob). i just added a comment to upload a vid playing that lol
maybe one day i'll do some....

You should definitely do some videos man. YouTube needs more Wal hahaha
Does anyone happen to know the size and material of the standard "dot" fingerboard markers that Wal is using (on the face, not the side)? I have new-ish fretless Mk. 1 with fretlines but no other markers and am considering adding the dots for quicker reference when I cheat and look at the neck (which is often). Thank you.
they're just mother of pearl.
But I can't even see the fretboard dots when I'm playing mine. I'd have to hunch over a ways.
Mine measure at 6mm using my spiffy new digital vernier calipers.
hey guys, has anyone here ever had a new control cavity cover made for them? I emailed Paul about a replacement and he said they don’t just make “standard” ones because they may not be a perfect fit. He said I would send my current one in and they’d make me a new one and then send it back. Any idea on cost? I know he will get back to me with a cost but being Friday I figure I may not hear back until Monday. Just wondering if any of you guys have done it or had an idea of cost.
When I had it set up awhile ago somebody must’ve forced it off because of a stripped screw or something and broke a piece of it. I was livid about it. I’ll see if I’ve got a photo.
wow, thats an eye sore hope whoever did that will compensate you for that mistake. ya i was just looking at some of the pics the previous owner of your bass sent me once and it looked fine to me which got me curious.
Looks like maybe a layer got chipped off that one. Honestly I'd leave it alone.
But yes oddly enough, each cover is handmade to each bass. You cant take a cover from one to another as the screws wont line up and his jig seems to vary just a hair.

I’m sure the battle of compensation will come down to the cost.
I was hoping it was a standard part but when I emailed Wal they said it was more of “each one is unique” type situation. This is what worries me.
Well, honestly it doesn’t bother me one bit. I couldn’t care less about such a small blemish. Problem is that I’m considering a deal with somebody and it’s a big deal to him.
This is just a shot in the dark but I’ll throw it out there. I’m looking to switch from a 4 string to a 5 string. If anyone here has a 5 string they’d wanna trade for a 4 let me know. Here are some pics of mine:
Something seems wrong...that’s an EXTREMELY low price tag. If it’s all legit that is awesome man, what a killer score for you!!!
