Wal Bass Club.

Had three gave one to a friend. Now I have a Wal Mrk 1, a Pedulla Buzz and a Fender Jaco Signature with custom appointments (Badass bridge and Seymour Duncan Custom Shop pickups)

My collection of 3 came from too many times in the snooker club with Pete in the old days in High Wycombe. Bless him.
I think he was just looking after me in a way for the future lol

You are lucky to have spent some quality time with Pete. I spoke to Pete a couple of times on the phone and he seemed a nice guy. He used to send me photos by mail at the time of some of his creations. You know there was no internet back then and we used to discuss the sonic characteristics of different wood facings.

Pete was a character. I do miss him. Any excuse to go to the snooker club lol. He totally knew his stuff though. Absolute legend.

that black nut is brass?

 

[LowEndHum]

that black nut is brass?

The black nut is a dummy plastic nut that he used to send this photo to me to approve the close spacing request. I approved it and he will now replace it with the permanent brass nut.

I’m having a hard time deciding between starting a mk 2 or a mk 3 order.

My mk 3 feels perfect in every aspect.

For those with experience with a mk 2 or both, how does the mk 2 feel when playing sitting down and how does it hang when using a strap?

I felt the body of a MK3 was too small.

4 or 5 string?

Either way, sitting down, the short lower horn of a Mk2 really digs into your thigh.
