Been wanting to sound one of these out ...........any samples available of the 51

Bloody hell Mike, im not a multi string fan but that looks damn sweet and a Smith to boot, I too like a bass thats seen some time as it were, pray tell us how much of a steal?

Thanks she is a babe, has a few wear marks as you can see but no real knocks, the neck doesnt have a mark on it and is great to play tho I confess to liking the narrow jazz type neck on the Lakland a tad better. But I just love the almost lazy way she sounds if u know what i mean nothing fancy just lots of pure smooth low down tone that only an ageing PB can make. If the Telecaster is the ultimate guitar designed to be what it is with nothing fancy, just plain and functional and get the job done superbly then the PB is the same for us Bass heads.

That would be most kind ped, that would finish her off nicely. I bought a pair off ebay but the spindle size in the knobs was too small, I guess off a tele as mentioned earlir, plus some genuine ones would be best. Ta

Im short of a couple of knobs as u can see! Thanks for pointing that out, so if anyone can give me a knob I would be greatfull!!

How many times have I said that: Im happy with these at the moment. A 1975 PBass for that simple passive lump, and a Lakland Osborne DPLE1 for that active Jazz feel.

I have to agree with an earlier comment that Wals are certainly not the prettiest of basses especially the headstock, but Id still like to have a go and fall in love, btw how much is the Roadie?

Bloody hell gadget thats never the same body, blast wish Id have had the patience now to do what uve done, shes luvly and a one off. Congrats,+1 for the Shukland!,perhaps the birth of a new marque!
