Nice, padauk was my original choice for my build's facing, I guess it is still in the mix before firming specs.

 

[Les Fret]

Hi all, the jack input on my MK2 came loose, it loses contact and makes noise when moving the cable. I'm pretty sure i saw a tutorial on how to tighten it but can't seem to find it. Anyone?

 

[mikeswals]

Remove the two screws holding the outside black jack housing. Use pliers to hold the internal jack still (careful dont crush any of the tangs).
While holding it still, turn the outside black housing to snug it back tight.

Thank you so much.

Is there any downside to ordering a MK3 with a MKI/II headstock these days (a 4-string in my case) now that there are super light tuners available? Is there still the risk of neck dive? Thanks!

No time frame. Just an acknowledgment and they will let me know when they can take orders again.

The list for the list!

Interesting bass. Especially because of the placing of the neck pickup. I really wonder how that sounds on a Wal compared to the normal placing.

Love that grain in the wood. I would prefer it without the gloss but still looks amazing.

My “ULTIMATE AND MOST INCREDIBLE WAL BASS EVER” vote goes to the 9lb Mk3 5-string Paul built. I’d love to do a gig on that!

IMO high gloss would be much better on Spalted Maple due to the wood being so soft in places. I have seen other basses with Spalted that "caved in".
Spalted Maple like Buckeye Burl to me is either beautiful of hideous depending on the piece. The facings on this MK3 are beautiful!

Our very own member Toolmybass has the other Mk3 5 with same custom spacing, the one with beech facings, I believe the same guy originally commissioned both basses.

Beechwood was originally comissioned by Gareth Morgan.
I haven't had another MK3 5'er to kind of compare any difference with knobs set the same. But i would guess that it wouldn't be something that would "stand out"
