  1. [quote name='TrevorR' timestamp='1445506674' post='2891924'] And to be fair David, a lot of the current Wal based activity HAS been sparked and fuelled by your posts... :-) [/quote] Indeed. That point isn't lost on me!
  2. [quote name='WAYNESWORLD' timestamp='1445455845' post='2891679'] Times are really hard on here at the moment. Nothing is reaching its value it would seem!. Some of the stuff on here is going for silly money. [/quote] Agreed. I guess it is OK if you are buying [i]and[/i] selling here because it squares up, but otherwise it is a bit of a wake up call!
  3. Hijacked by the Wal brigade! Is it not enough that you guys have your own [b] It's the "I don't care, I love the way Wal basses sound" thread...[/b] without using a crowbar to wedge a Wal-related post into every other thread!
  4. [quote name='franciscosancla' timestamp='1445407943' post='2891192'] Any comments guys? [/quote] Yep. Love it.
  5. Updated to reflect that I will take care of P&P costs.
  6. I have now fallen in love with a Sandberg Panther 5 String so the ACG Gallus has to go! It is available in the For Sale section at £550. Check out the ad and PM me if you think it is for you. Cheers, Mac

Very High quality (it would cost you £200 just for the pre-amp) this is a lovely bass.. If i had to compare it in looks, think Warwick dolphin..ish.

  9. [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Hi[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Keen to discuss the ACG. [/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Grateful if you could PM me.[/font][/color]
  10. [quote name='Cameronj279' timestamp='1445290003' post='2890387'] Out of those two I'd go for the J-type. Only real reason is I don't particularly like the Gallus shape. [/quote] I'm with you - but once I start playing the Gallus i don't even notice the shape.
  11. Gallus arrived today. Bit larger than expected (feels a lot like the Overwater Tanglewood Aspiration Elite I used to own) but sits really well on the strap and lap. I think the J Type pips it on looks though. I'm also looking to buy the J Type but the seller doesn't seem to read their PMs. Assuming I'm successful I'll be able to try each for a while and then keep the one that works best for me.
  12. [quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1445260048' post='2889988'] Bloody hell! Talk about a poacher turned gamekeeper ... [/quote] I'm all about the love!
  13. No - but you could try finding it in "Where's Wal-lie?" [i]groan.....[/i]
  14. Guys - let's not have a falling out over an argument that very few us of understand (making a big assumption here I know).
  15. Thanks for the heads up. I'll need to check them out.
  16. I'm starting to warm towards the Gallus.
  17. [quote name='Twigman' timestamp='1445177656' post='2889293'] Neither I wouldn't give either a second glance. They do nothing for me.

  18. [quote name='TrevorR' timestamp='1445202353' post='2889628'] [media]http://youtu.be/kQFKtI6gn9Y[/media] [/quote] But Guv - I'm innocent I tell ya! I didn't break section 21 of the strange sketch act: causing grievous mental confusion of the great British public. It weren't me. Strike a light, and no mistake!
