Great pics! Can hardly wait for mine. 9lbs - that's really light for an MK II 4. Cool!

[quote name='silverfoxnik' post='478110' date='May 3 2009, 11:44 AM']Went to the new Wal factory yesterday with Mike G and had a great couple of hours... Paul Herman gave us his time and showed us around which was fantastic, so a big thanks to Paul for that! Very briefly, the details on prices, build times etc, etc will all be available soon on the new website which is about to be launched though there isn't a date set for that yet. Quite wisely, Paul is ensuring that things are done very carefully so that the re-launch of Wal Basses is done with great care and respect for the brand name and also, to manage the considerable expectation that there is out there from amongst the Wal bass community! With that in mind, I've said to Paul I'll let him see any photos I took yesterday before posting them up here or on the Walbassesnaturally group on Yahoo, so when he's had a look at them first and okay'd them, I'll put them up in another thread...[/quote] What about posting some of those pics now?

[quote name='deksawyer' post='826346' date='May 3 2010, 01:05 PM']I use a Neotech Mega strap with my Wal, which is quite heavy and can easily play a 2 hour set without any shoulder or back pain. Highly recommended. They're about £30. If you want a slightly longer strap, get the guitar one - exactly the same but a bit longer.

I have them, too, and they are the best weapon for the Wals.

[quote name='Charla' post='772552' date='Mar 12 2010, 11:48 AM']Thanks for the feedback: Tried the cab this morning with Ashdown ABM and 4 string Wal; I think I'm pushing the drivers too hard, the cab sounds really good, nice tight sound, then when at volume (about half way on the master volume) the speaker starts to misbehave. I can't tune the ports as this is a vented cab design. So it looks as if it's a `quiet Gigs only' setup, I can't put the old speakers back as I gave one away, and I'm not prepared to try other speakers just yet. Never mind I've always got the the EBS TD650 and Dr Bass 2460!!! Just waiting for a Gig where I can use both cabs together!!!!!! Cheers Charla[/quote] Hi Charla, if you can try out a Glockenklang Soul Combo Light featuring two 10" Volt Speakers (400watts at 4 ohms) do so - they really deliver the low B of my Wals. tc Oliver

I use an EBS Multi comp with my Wals and it works fine.

His WAL sound & playing style has been a great influence. Free pity bump on me.
