  1. This bass is one of the last models the old esh-company offered. It definitely wasn´t around in 1993, so it has to be a 2002 then. Pretty versatile with the old esh-tronic (that I prefer to the new one)! Good luck with the sale!

  2. [quote name='FretSpot' post='1150154' date='Mar 5 2011, 01:14 AM']Obviously nobody wants this lousy bass. You should just trade it in to me and I'll dispose of it properly and you can get something better. :)[/quote]

    Donovan is the proper person to ask for F-Bass disposal... :)

  3. In its current form this may not be the most beautiful of Wals - but it´s mine and has a bit of a story to go with it...



    Bought it in 2000 along with a single pickup fretless MK I (I think it´s the one in the back row [url="http://basschat.co.uk/uploads/monthly_08_2008/post-45-1217955384_thumb.jpg"]here[/url] at the Wall of Wals). I left the fretted MK I on stage at an outdoor gig in May 2001, at an enclosed area, guarded by security with dogs. And - you guessed it - it was gone the next day. Some other gear had been stolen, too, but this one really hurt the most.
    I always kept an eye open in case it might turn up again, so imagine my surprise when I found a video of the bass on a German forum last summer. I wasn´t 100% sure, but after I had seen a link to the ebay auction where it had been sold with BIN accidentally instead of auctioning it off I knew this was my Wal! Turned out it had never been far from where it had been stolen - just a couple of miles from here...

    Now it´s back with me and I´m having it refinished - or rather finished, as it had been sanded, spray-painted blue, then sanded again, so it came back to me as bare wood... More pics here: [url="https://picasaweb.google.com/112925724378685434489/WalW2328#"]Wal W2328[/url]

    By the way, all the little screws for the back cover have gone and the neck bolts have been damaged from not using proper tools. Being non-metric they are impossible to come by over here - would those be available from a hardware store in the UK or are these extra-special???

  4. I have some older Trace stuff, but you know most of that already, like the pre-MK V GP11 or the AH250 heads to go with that. But I never seen another one of these:





    The PP33 offers three parametric bands of EQ for bass, mid and treble, each with frequency, cut/boost and q-factor. If you turn the q-factor all the way counter-clockwise on bass and treble they become shelving filters. Clever, huh? It also sports the mandatory pre-shape switch.

    There´s no date anywhere on this unit but I think TE didn´t offer the PPs long. Serial number is 2119.

  5. On hold till Thursday for a potential local sale. Opening the control cavity revealed that the bass actually has a Bartolini preamp, running on 18V. Always thought it had the Aggi - must be old age creeping in...
