I am glad you finally decided to get yourself a Wal!

Lmao!!!!!

I thought the flea Wal was all black?

Sure, when filmed in black and white... but his Wal is blue....unfortunately in a lost video f his bass room, he showed it covered in stickers

[ampegfuzz]

Yeah in my brain I thought it was black with matching headstock. Must be from me watching that B&W video some time back like kulite said.

What case do you "Wal-nuts" store your precious bass guitars in? I am talking about long term home storage other than the old fiberglass dogbone cases.I have various Mono and Reunion Blues heavy duty bags that serve the purpose of short term travel.I have stored the original cases and don't want to add any unnecessary wear and tear.I place a premium on protection and want to be especially careful with these precious resources.Any input will be much appreciated.

The best cases are the current Wal/Hiscox cases. they're tough and lighter than the old fiberglass ones.

Mine live in Hiscox Lite Flite cases - purchased from Pete 15+ years ago,

Yes, I saw that bass direct was selling some now. They have them back in stock.

Although, a Wal will fit in most standard sized cases. Sometimes I use my jazz bass case when Im switching back and forth. But right now I've been using a protection racket for gigs and such.

Wal XLR out...... Is it super quiet or maybe Linked to the 1/4" jack somehow?
I was playing around with my friends and wanted to see how the XLR sounded direct.
I had to max out my presonus vsl to get any decent signal.
I thought maybe since I didn't have a cord in the 1/4" output jack also they might be linked somehow.

You have to plug a jack in the jack output to activate the electronics, even if you don't use the jack out signal.

LOL! It was super quiet because it wasn't switched on! I'm amazed you got any volume at all!!!!

You need to put a jack into the jack socket to switch on the Wal's internal circuitry (either a cable or a dyummy jack). Without that the XLR DI isn't powered.

 

[ampegfuzz]

Kinda what I figured after the fact and I had already put it away.
