Wal Bass Club.

I was a Highbeam user since the 90's, but over a year and half ago I switched to R Cocco's...absolutely fantastic, especially on the Wals. Both the stainless and the nickels....and I never use to like any nickels!
If you can find a set, try em. Tonal bliss heaven to me.
 
The ones I use are the 45-105, and I have been using both stainless and nickel. So RC4G and RC4GN.
I use a bright gritty sound, and I do feel the they are more girthy sounding than EB strings. Lately I've been favoring the nickels.
If you want even more sizzle, try some DR Marcus Millers, wowee!

Only from Wal, or some place in England unfortunately. I've looked and they're like a british metric thread...stumped every screw and fitting supplier in the Seattle area. So I just order them from Paul.

I just received an email from Paul last night. Yes, it took about a week for a response, which is pretty good considering I'm not ordering a new bass or anything. He is going to sell me a set of replacement screws. I got the spec from him and looked all over. There is nowhere stateside I can get these. I'm also ordering a t-shirt!

Now, if anyone wants to offer me a MK-II...
 
Hi guys,

I'm a bassist from Brazil and recently got my Wal MK III with Paul.

Here's a recording of my Rush tribute band for your consideration using:

PLease share your thoughts on youtube!



Best regards

Marcos :bassist:
