Thanks y’all! And yes, American Walnut. I can’t believe how marvelous this thing plays and sounds. To finally have the sound in my head coming through so effortlessly.
Pretty much the exact build I originally ordered…before swapping to Mk2 body. Classic Wal. Love it.
I know what you mean. Found myself saying the exact same thing in week 1. 3 months in and still crazy about it!
… waiting around for Paul to tell me my bass is finished 
my eta was last October. So whats that, like 8 mos overdue? I lost count...
Oh man that’s brutal, though I guess when the wait time is already multiple years, 8 months doesn’t seem like such a long time haha.. do you have any custom specs that might be causing the build time to lengthen?
At my age, I didn't care about time to deliver, as long as I was alive to see it delivered 
Well...unfortunately for Scubacult, his Mk3 rebuild didn't get to be seen. RIP.At my age, I didn't care about time to deliver, as long as I was alive to see it delivered
It really does happen.
I know it... I had my own health scare earlier this year. I'm fine but the joke during it was "welp, I may not see the Wal after all". Sometimes it's a thing where you have to be old enough to afford it, young enough to see it delivered.
Amen. And that when it does arrive, we can can still actually play it.
Darn shame, rest in peace Nate.. one of the first guys on YouTube rocking a Wal back in the day; had a style all of his own. Truly a Wal OG
In late 1993, I had Pete make a fretted neck for my 1985 fretless.
At that time he also sent me this price list:

If only I had £1,488 when I was 8 years old!
After placing my order April of 2021, yesterday I got that email from Paul in my inbox that it's time to make deposit #2 and finalize my specs. So pumped!
