Again, if i'm missing anyone on the earlier numbers, please let me know so I can update the list, back tracking the thread Oddio seemed to PM people their numbers so I was unable to recreate the list at its entirety.

If you like to join, please post pics of you bass and let me know that you want a number.

Jaymi, I know you posted your previous Wal up a long while ago, did Oddio ever give you a number? If not post your Wal up when you receive it and let me know if you want one.

 

[Jaymi]

I think I was #10

 

[kulit17]

I think I was #10

Cool, its been updated... thanks!

 

[eligilam]

Cool congrats!!!



Guess you went liquid my trading huh? Lol!!



What a lovely pair!!!! Lines on a fretless
lol its cool!! Man a fretless must be cool but must resist all urges.... Hopefully for my pocket sake one doesn't pop up!!! You want a number??

Thanks, yes, I will take a number!

BTW, the MKII fretless has an Indian ebony fretboard inlaid with lines of (I believe) rosewood. I got this one out to play yesterday, and it absolutely sizzles...very very slippery dominant sound!

Cheers to all!

 

[kulit17]

Thanks, yes, I will take a number!

eligilam is number 39!!!

 

[eligilam]

On to the next one. And, it only took five years to get through the first thread.

Here's to another five more!

My baby

That's the one...someday...I want THAT bass!

Mike, aka Caca De Kick, also has a stunning white MKI.

He has good taste in basses.

 

[Jaymi]

I had a white whale once....MK I that is...

I had a white whale once....MK I that is...

Was clear finish and fretless originally. Went trans-white back in the 80's. Its from the transition period. DOB 30-Mar-1981

 

[Jaymi]

Mine was an originally finished white and I can't honestly remember the # because I really did not like it. My others were much more memorable.

 

[MC1970]

Cliff Bordwell, kulit17,

thanks for the nice comments and for the number.
It's so good to have a Master Luthier like Cliff and a "knowledgeable" Wal owner like kulit17 appreciate your new bass.

Unfortunately the wait for a new Wal is a little less than two years, but I deeply recommend it since IMHO new ones show a far superior fit and finish compared to "old" ones.

One more pic, this one shows the figuring of the Am. walnut top better ;-)

 

[Jaymi]

Well 2535 arrived today...here it is

 

[kulit17]

Awesome video Jaymi!! Wal looks alot cleaner on the video then on the FS thread. Great tone and great job man!

 

[Jaymi]

It has some player marks but it has that nice tone!
