Lol...me too. Born in 1970.....oddly, I watched a clip on Instagram from a KISS concert from 1996, and I literally thought that felt like about ten years ago...did the math...cried a lil. Lol. Cheers to us 'experienced' guys!!

Makes ya wonder how many more are out there! Wonder if theres a Honduras 6-string....
After idolizing them as a little kid in the late 1970's, I actually saw them in concert in 1996. Here's the sad part: I waited almost 20 years to see them play live, but it's been *over* 20 years since I saw them play that show. feelsbatman
Yeah man I'm pumped! Paul said I should have it by next Friday. I think the Wenge came out very classy looking, and Paul says the bass has plenty of bite on the top end. The hype machine is definitely turning hard now!
Congrats Bigsnack love the Wenge top please post more pictures! Did you see the recently completed White MK3 on Instagram? My God it's gorgeous

I saw the white mk3 too... looks nice with a black neck..... if you look at the owner's IG feed, he has two other Wal 5ers too!
The Wals being built in the past 2 years or so are especially gorgeous. I feel like we are seeing more and more unique choices and variety of finishes, etc. Of course, Paul / Philip's execution is jaw dropping as well!
Tapping blonde twins!

Oh yeah you hear it. the wider spaced bass sounds fatter. The other more hairy.
Anybody follow this on facebook and then see the price tag? It's in Italy too....that is not close.
Sure, it's a collectors piece....but man.....

Shouldnt be! That pic was taking 5 minutes after getting it back home, so I'll have to sort that out.

Yeah, the B string looks off on one them for sure.
Nice Wal, but see the previous discussion regarding the Midi module. Yes, a very unique Wal and it has a place in history, but the Midi module is gone so that dimension of this bass is mute.
Hey guys, would like to join...
Question for the wonderful minds of the Wal Club coming from another member and myself......have any of you taken the necks off your 4 string Wal's? More importantly, do the 4 strings in general come with neck shims attached to the butt of the neck regardless of age or maybe it's the older ones?
I've taken my neck off a few times, it does indeed have a shim at the neck heel.
