It's an interesting point - You could say they mean the same thing - i.e., The difference in the Wal sound is what makes it better..but yes, first and foremost, it's tonally different to anything else. Think I'm gonna just wait for them to go out of fashion again and swap a Boss DS-1 for one (or two).

So - Anybody ordered one yet?

I think of the replies so far this is the one that resonates mostly with me. The poorly organised / managed multi band bill. I'll add equipment issues as something that can make a gig 'bad' for me. Or an arsey in-house engineer.

I've had a Wal 'itch' for a long time. For me it's simply the sound. You can get in the ball park of it with other Basses, but if you want that exact sound, you have to have a Wal.

I'd imagine this will be a limited version only. If you've got a PJ - I would think that a certain Mr. @KiOgon could make you a double stacked knob loom for substantially less than the cost of this Bass!

I can't agree about The Winery Dogs I'm afraid. For me, the 2 albums they've done so far are utterly fantastic. I guess that's they great thing about music and it's complete subjectivity! Good idea for a thread mind you!

With you on that one Andy!

Good Score, that's super clean!

Indeed - Been showing it to the Mrs this week. She's not keen.

Sounds like a short circuit to me.

The traditional approach would be to have your Bass signal receiver with /near your pedal board (if you are using one), and the IEM transmitter in the PA rack. Sounds like that's not quite what you wanted to hear though....

The long and short of this is really that most pub/club audiences couldn't care less about where the backing music is coming from & there are plenty of people out there doing exactly what you describe. The handy thing about it for pubs is that (if needed) they can fit into tiny spaces and charge substantially less than a full band. Musicians / People in bands will always think that it's rubbish.

Blimey - Does he ask for help loading all of that? That's insane!

I'm the same with 38mm nuts, and also the description of 'super slim 60's style neck' is off putting for me. BUT - have you SEEN THIS BASS?....

That hasn't helped the GAS.

Already difficult to not push the 'add to basket' button on that!

I would have expected a single knob compressor as well. Still......

Awesome - really enjoyed the first film!

Is there any news on when these are gonna be available yet? Can't find anything online..

We use the X18 (also operated by yours truly) and only 2 of us on in-ears, My 2p: - I want to hear everything including the punters, IEMs will be too isolating - Ambient Mic will work fine. Although I don't find the isolation half as bad as some people imagine it'll be. - What do we do if the iPad crashes or WiFi stops working? - I only use it with a wired connection to a laptop. If you're dead set on wireless, then get an external router, the built in one isn't very good. - On having an app to control a personal monitor mix: I’ll never be able to do it, too complicated. (From the singer, who has the biggest objections to IEMs, but constantly wanting ‘more me’ and causing feedback with his mic antics) - You can setup his mix for him initially. A few minor tweaks later, you'll probably find he stops asking at all from gig to gig. This can also be done these days on a relatively modest budget. I'd suggest hard-wired IEM at first, as decent Wireless IEM units are not cheap. We use the Behringer P1's, but the newer, smaller P2 units are also good and cost about 30-odd quid each. As far as earphone themselves, the KZ ZS10's seem very much in favour for those wanting to dip a toe into IEM's and can also be got for 30-odd quid.

Been on 45-105 Super Bright Nickels for ages now. Love the sound, lower tension and feel of them. Seem to last well for me too.

Oh no! Jazz bass GAS returns.

I always take a spare Bass, and have plenty of cables. Don't use an amp, but if my Helix has any issues, I can either go directly into the PA (XR18) or I have a Sansamp Paradriver DI in my case.
