Of course that means I've started wearing turtle-neck jumpers and corduroy jackets. The sonic blue 5-string Spitfire is a joy!!![/quote] Cool! That sounds fab - any photos ??

You're welcome! Am fine thanks - how are you?

Thirded!

[quote name='janmaat' post='1147895' date='Mar 2 2011, 11:50 PM']Now come on people somebody buy this. (free bump for a great piece of kit)[/quote] +1 And Isaac's a great guy to deal with as well....

Think I've heard and played this one at the 'Walfest in 2006... From memory, it's got a fantastic tone, determined in part by the wenge facings which give it more edge than some of the other facings often used by Wal! But as well as that, it has all the versatility that comes with the Wal electronics.. Good luck with the sale!

[quote name='krispn' post='1144330' date='Feb 28 2011, 11:48 AM']Now THATS how you cut a gear demo [/quote] +1 absolutely fantastic.. pre-amp sounds great too...

[quote name='nick' post='1134446' date='Feb 20 2011, 04:12 PM']That is gorgeous. Nicely photographed - vase of flowers is a nice touch too.[/quote] +1 Great basses these..still regret the fact that I no longer own one.. From memory, these are quite unique instruments electronically because the tone controls act like a toggle switch and, depending on where they're set, change the pick ups from humbucker to a single-coil setting. Good luck with the sale!

[quote name='KERMITNT' post='1124006' date='Feb 11 2011, 04:27 PM']i forgot to say gill is a gent to deal with tempting this one but i cant justify it at the moment[/quote] +1 Gill is great to deal with; very upfront & honest.. Looks after his gear very well and as can be seen in the photos, has very good taste in basses!! Good luck with the sale..

Great basses these - I had 2 of them a few years back! Most amazing thing was finding out that, if you had a question about the bass and contact Tobias, Mike Tobias would email back personally!! They play superbly, are a very comfortable weight IIRC, the necks are very comfortable..and the low B strings sound really good (well my 2 did).. So to be honest, I'm surprised it's not gone already, especially with the upgraded electronics! Good luck with the sale.

[quote name='giblett123' post='1105827' date='Jan 28 2011, 06:25 AM']Really surprised this is still here, its a lovely bass, not a mark and sounds fantastic, I guess the post xmas credit card bills have landed![/quote] +1 Me too.. IMO, this is the bargain of the month as far as basses for sale go on Basschat..

[quote name='silddx' post='1096281' date='Jan 20 2011, 01:14 PM']Gorgeous looking bass! If only it had the right number strings.[/quote] But '5' is a very harmonious number according to the Buddhists, Nig

[quote name='Mike' post='1093644' date='Jan 18 2011, 11:19 AM']Interesting! A new one to me. At a very good price too, looking at what you paid for it. Welcome to BC and good luck with the sale![/quote] +1 That's a very interesting looking bass and though it's unique in a way that may not be to everyone's taste, the amount of detail & info supplied by the seller really helps to 'sell' the bass! Less than £850 for a hand-made, thru-neck 5er with a lot of character seems like very good deal to me... Good luck with the sale

This is a great bass and if i could afford it right now, I'd buy it back in an instant! Super-resonant body, very alive sounding..the pick up & bridge mods make a big difference too and it plays very nicely. Also, it's light, so long gigs are a breeze! Good luck with the sale

[quote name='4000' post='1095091' date='Jan 19 2011, 01:15 PM']Matthew Ashman Tribute gig in November?????? Aaaaaaghhh!!!!! Didn't know anything about it. Excuse me while I bang my head against a wall repeatedly. C30, C60, C90, DOH!!!!!!![/quote] It was an amazing night..will PM you so we don't hijack this thread!

[quote name='owen' post='1088726' date='Jan 13 2011, 11:09 PM']Steve has the funk.[/quote] +1 ...very nice playing and a really good sound!!

[quote name='basslondon' post='1094883' date='Jan 19 2011, 10:29 AM']Mr Gorman in the house![/quote] Absolutely!! And yes - I do know what you mean Shaun! Leigh was fantastic at the Matthew Ashman Tribute gig in London in November btw... This bass used to be mine many years ago..bought second-hand from a shop in Buckinghamshire for £400 in 1993! I sold it on when I bought a 2 pick-up version later that year.. Tonally, it was a very nice bass and it played as most Wal's do; i.e. perfectly! It used to look like this: [attachment=69304:Pro_1_PB1692.jpg] Would be interesting to hear it with the different p/ups and controls.. Good luck with the sale!
