Oli got a very awesome Wal!

Indeed!! I think these were the cause of my vertigo episode I had the other day lol!!!
Man an english olive looks sweet! Anyone ever see a cocobolo facing Wal? Curious if such a beast exists

If anyone has been following the fiasco on the thread "I won the Wal pick up on Ebay" and is tired with the obvious BS'ing, you may want to ask this guy where he got the electronics from!!

Thanks. It's a phantastic instrument. A bit on the heavy side for my shoulder, but the sound makes you forget the pain. Thor's hammer, I tell you!

Yep. I know. Actually, I've always wanted a Wal fretless because of the sound, long before I was looking at fretted Wal's. But then came along this absolutely gorgeus Geddy Lee MkII, and fretted is what I play most. Plus Mike kept whispering in my ears that I should get a Wal...

Indeed, yet I'm happy you infected me... I can imagine these instruments are not for everybody, and some might not get along with the electronics at all. But they fit me like a glove.
Thus, this addiction also has the power to cure quite some other GAS! That's what I call "money well spent"

I just had to chuckle about this a bit..... I'd have to say perhaps you should get that checked out
lol j/k!!! Are any of the ones you have ebony boards?Ebony boards are a completely different animal. I was trying out a couple things with my 5er and fretless and the feel and the tone is just unreal. By all means its phenomenal - just feels like such a jump when I've been playing my RW necks a majority of the time.
Fretless baby!!!!
Both are ebony. I was specifically looking to get ones with ebony fretboards, because I found out that I really preferred it on other instruments. To me, the ebony board brings more definition and clarity than rosewood, but is a little less snappy and more "even" than maple. That's at least my perception. YMMV.

Ahem...NBD.
It's a very early 'new run' from Paul. This and Martin Kemp's MkII were the first two completed.

I just picked up the 2001 MKII that was on eBay a couple times. The seller wound up working with my budget an I got a great deal! Should have it by thursday with pics to come.

Awesome pics!! Congrats on your new family member!!
Was it the 5er? Coolio man!!
Yes. The walnut facings. Funny thing is I've owned that exact style before. Only let it go as I wasn't playing 5ers much. This one will not go anywhere.

Congratulations, Mike! That's a beauty.
How does she compare to your other Wals?
