Wal Bass Club.

Heard from Paul, he is running behind a few months so still a bit of wait for me. I said that My 40th is on the 14th of June I would love to open it then. Paul said he will work for that so fingers crossed. I asked him to not get photos for the surprise (sorry for content fail).

Thanks for the update @madmaskbass ! A few months ago he was thinking March-ish for mine and I haven't gotten any pictures yet, so March is probably out. Anybody have recollections on roughly how long it took from getting initial pictures to final delivery?

I made my final payment December 2023.

Received my first photo update today. This is surreal.

My previous build that arrived in 2022, was about 2 months from the bare neck & body pic like Treeman posted, to fully assembled.

My current order, I have no idea. original estimated completion would have been this past Oct, but obviously we're way passed that.
I just got to pick facings last week, but he said my neck is no where near done yet, and no eta.

 

[Chickenwheels]

Yes it is!

This was my original build but I changed to a Mk2 body. Congratulations and enjoy the ride!

Thanks! And I’m unable to view the attachment…at least on my phone.

I need to pick a Wal T-shirt size…are the sizes smaller fitting than U.S. T-shirt sizes, or anything like that? I’m 6’6” so length is a typical issue for me.

Oh yes…for me, I would order two sizes up. …maybe I’m wrong…but a UK large fits like a USA medium IMO

That definitely got pretty wild towards the end! Love to know the story with the two face dots, certainly unique.

 

[dhagopian]

I was wondering why only the two dots as well.

.. I'm thinking these are the only dots common to both standard and standard drop D.

Got my pic today. I can say it's a different feeling seeing this when it's your bass. Looking at early April, this will be trans blue burst.

Echo that sentiment. Beautiful, and congratulations! And with the two necks with matched faces! Can't wait to see the finish.

Ooooh, that quilt is really going to pop under a blue burst! Mmmmmmmm…

Love the matching quilted maple head stocks. I’m still waiting on lumber picks from Paul and I’m dying with anticipation

Yeah it is extremely exciting when the photo is yours!! Suddenly all the torture of waiting becomes almost warranted..

Yours was one of a couple Wals that drew me to blue, so we'll see how this turns out! Headstock is getting the blue burst too.
