Does anyone remember this place? I found out about it from an article in Bassist Magazine in the mid 90's. It was a specialist bass guitar shop, and one of its main draws for me was it's 'wall of Wals'. At the time, they were around £1500 - £2000 each (if my memory serves me well), and I went with the intention of getting one. However, one of the main guys at The Embassy suggested talking to a new local young bass builder who could make me a bespoke bass for the same price (enter one John Shuker). The rest is history, as I've now had three basses from him (still got two of them). One part of me wishes I'd still got a Wal, but at the prices they are commanding now, I wouldn't dare take it out on a Friday or Saturday night anymore!!!!!

I must get round to trying a Sire bass sometime - probably one of the short scales, as I seem to be gravitating to short scale more and more these days......🤔

That's definitely got a story to tell - love that it shows it's 'scars' and what it's been before.....😉🤘
