    [quote name='JanSpeeltBas' post='521502' date='Jun 23 2009, 10:32 AM']Thanks Jon, have added this obscure brand to my ever evolving Bass Encyclopedia - a project I should pick up again soon...[/quote] OT a bit here - have you in ur research for your encyclopedia came across an 80s bass maker from Devon,England area called D'wailles, de walles (or something close to that spelling) this has been bugging me for years. That WRM for a ton also has a warped neck BB

    If this is a wind-up, I hope it doesnt stop other genuine newbies coming on and asking the appropriate questions and getting the answers. It is heartening that people have given proper help and guidance here but will they be so quick next time something like this appears thinking they may be getting wound up and budding bassists may lose out on good advice. Its like a backwards gnome. It's not big and it's not clever BB

    [quote name='soopercrip' post='520485' date='Jun 22 2009, 08:42 AM']Never heard of Michael Manring until this thread, and WOW! the man is awesome (although I think he could do with an extra hand for that hyperbass ) After a bit of research his album 'Thonk' keeps coming up (has The enormous room on it) so had a look to try and aquire it. HMV wha...? Amazon £70+ so without stealing it off the web, anybody point me in the right direction to get a copy?

    Apologies but I am full of sh*t! My mouth should stop writing cheques my brain can't cash. 6317 is the serial number for an early Modulator bass (78) according to the Shergold website also the logo is the nailed on badge style which does tie in with earlier models - so it is probably a nice early original one. It says Marathon Serial numbers can be sketchy which may explain why it comes up as a Modulator on the database or its a swapped out neck but age still in keeping with the body. My apologies again to everyone BB Yes the E string does seem a bit close to the edge (so don't push it!)

    Quite right too, it being such a rare beast it deserves to get played. I didnt know there had been an issue with the lefties. There are plenty of basses i would never buy for various reasons ( 6 or 7 strings, fretless, acoustic, leftie or whatever ) but it's still nice to see 'em Best of luck with the sale BB

    Please dont take my poor atempt at humour in the wrong way! I wasnt trying to say u were in the wrong part of the forum or anything. I was only sad that it was a leftie being such a beaut! Had a nice 85 custom til last year and still miss it. BB

    No, My favourite is my Dolphin (just). The Overwater has a bit of a dead spot on the D at the 4th which i can dial/compress out almost. Chris May wanted it back to upgrade the electronics (it's passive) but I like it the way it is. BB
