Yes, great aren't they – I've had two Wals, both MkI customs, and would like to get that sound again – I'll probably have to make an approximate body template using images from the web

Cheers!

I'm thinking of building a Wal Pro 1e clone and wondered if anyone has a detailed template for this shape

I should explain that I have a Wal Pro 1e pickup and preamp, complete with scratch plate – all I need is the wooden bits etc

Dimensions such as thickness and routing would be most useful – the neck pocket is dictated by the scratch plate shape, so no problem there

Cheers!

Bought a Canon Ixus camera from John – great price, great comms, great packaging – perfect Basschatter, buy with confidence

Update: both tickets now gone

Two tickets going if anyone is interested – can't risk getting stranded 

ping me your email and i'll send them over

Price drop, now £225 – open to offers

Hi

They are all long scale – I have them on P, J, and Stingray, no cutting needed

The 3 sets of Hi-Beams are stainless steel

The MLH-45 Lo-Riders are stainless steel

The NLH-40 and NMLH-45 Lo-Riders are nickel plated

Cheers!

Hi Pete – I'm in East Oxford, OX4

TC Electronic BG500 - 210 for sale £250

I bought this from fellow Basschatter pantherairsoft back in 2010. It’s in fantastic condition – I moved on to an Aguilar TH500 to save my back so this has been hardly used since I bought it

Should've posted this ages ago, but just wanted to say that Mike built a nice Pearl Octaver clone for me

http://madebymike.co.uk/index.shtml

Scheme here: http://www.madbeanpedals.com/projects/LowRider/docs/Lowrider2015.pdf

Highly recommended, good build, good price and good communication

Walked right into that one!

Anyone used these guys:

I'm thinking of building a Stingray - I have two spare necks lying around

What's the weight?

Ah, this used to be mine - sold to Andy in 2010, or was it 2011

I bought it from ABC Music in Oxford in 1989 - I always thought the action was a bit 'not quite right' but my main bass was a Precision and this saw little action so I wasn't that bothered

I took it to Pete around 2008 (amazed that he returned my call!) along with my fretted Mk I for a once over and he looked it up in his book and saw that it started life as a fretless, which means it was fretted in the first two years or so

After Pete had stopped the Wal workshop I had it returned to it's original fretless state by Paul Herman via Charlie Chandler - the fret lines are Pearwood

Alas, not all is lost - soon Fishman Towers will resonate to the sound of my soon-to-be-built Wal Pro 1e clone - nabbed a Pickup/Preamp from here a while back - watch this space (or the build diary section)

+1 to Andy, a good guy to deal with

Fishman

Thanks chaps - will report back once things are under way

Hi

I'm about to commission a Wal Pro 1e replacement body and neck (not from Paul) - does anyone have the dimensions of the body only?

I have a pickup and pre-amp mounted on a Wal scratch plate so I know the neck width at the heel - I need the body shape thickness, etc

Gawd only knows where the rest of the bass is - could be the pickup etc is from one of those where someone has stuck in some J pickups

I have some pics of my old Wals (sadly sold) so I could always go from there - after all, it doesn't have to be millimetre perfect

Cheers
