Look forward to hearing your review...

[quote name='bassplace' post='250126' date='Jul 29 2008, 02:40 AM']Very good summary. If anyone wants to dig more, try here... [url="http://www.trevorandthea.eclipse.co.uk/wal_history.htm"]Wal History[/url] I have a ProIIe which can sound very much like a MkI or, as some have described, a PBass on steroids. One warning... Pro electronics are aging and some parts may be impossible to replace. It wouldn't keep me from buying one but I wouldn't make it an everyday bass. dunc[/quote] Hi dunc, Absolutely - Trevor's site is a fantastic introduction to the Wal history and is full of really interesting and unusual info that surprises even old gits like me who've owned Wals for years.. I hear what you're saying about the Pro models and I do worry about what I'll do if /when the circuitry starts to go wrong in mine? And partly for that reason and partly because I get worried it'll get damaged, I've stopped gigging with it this year. Mind you; I was using it for the first time in ages yesterday and it sounded just amazing.. So I'm planning to give it a whirl at a couple of gigs next week just to remind myself how lucky I am

Not sure what gear I can bring as I'll be en-route to East Anglia but might be able to bring a G&L Tribute if anyone wants to have a go. Maybe my Trace head too?[/quote] Great news Matt! It'd be really good to bring the Tribute if you can because they've generated a bit of interest here in recent months, especially over the USA vs Tribute debate.. WalMan's USA L2500 will be there so a direct comparison of the two would be very interesting! CK - how come you're leaving your band??

Very interesting looking bass, Steve! Unusual looking pick up configuration and circuitry - what does it all do exactly? Hope it goes well tomorrow night! Nik

Welcome to Basschat Mark, This should go on the sticky shouldn't it? Edit: I've posted it up there...

[quote name='WalMan' post='249234' date='Jul 27 2008, 11:15 PM']Yes sorry I really should shouldn't I To quote Harry Hill "And relaaaaaaax"[/quote]

[quote name='WalMan' post='249203' date='Jul 27 2008, 10:39 PM']Nik - I KNOW I DID A VERY STUPID THING!!! STOP RUBBING IT IN!!! See you Thursday @ The Crown [/quote] Al, Have you considered talking to someone about this, so you can move on with your life and 'let go'??? Seriously, I was thinking very specifically of the Pro models, not the Customs which you do see come up for sale a bit more often... See you Thursday! Nik

[quote name='Sibob' post='248850' date='Jul 27 2008, 11:53 AM']That vid of them on youtube with her singing Under Pressure on the Reality Tour is amazing!! Si[/quote] +1 Great musician...

I like all of them! Those DiMarzios on a P bass always look cool I think..

That is gorgeous - every ding and every knock.... History and character!

[quote name='4000' post='247632' date='Jul 25 2008, 10:43 AM']So, having been out of the Wal loop for years, was Paul originally working with Pete? BTW, if anybody is ever selling a Pro, let me know.....[/quote] Yes; Paul worked with Pete for some years so in my opinion, is the perfect person to take the Wal name forward.. Don't see too many Pro's for sale but if you do - grab it while you can!!

[quote name='Happy Jack' post='248425' date='Jul 26 2008, 02:10 PM']My point? You have absolutely NO IDEA who you are sharing cyberspace with most of the time. Sneer at those funny foreigners if you want, but you would probably be appalled if you could interact with [b][i]SOME[/i][/b] of the people you think you "know" in the UK.[/quote] Wise words! But, having said that, all the Basschaters I've met in person over the last couple of years have been great company, even if we are all members of the 'strange bass players' club...

[quote name='Dr.Dave' post='245597' date='Jul 22 2008, 06:53 PM']Finished messing with the 54P reish. So here she be............. Enjoy.[/quote] Thanks; I did!! Looks quite stunning and very individual to me...

[quote name='bilbo230763' post='245656' date='Jul 22 2008, 08:24 PM']Oh, and 6stringbassist, that was a beautiful thing you did for your brother. Some things matter more than basses.[/quote] Well said...

[quote name='6stringbassist' post='245325' date='Jul 22 2008, 01:13 PM']Did Wal ever make a 6 string, I'm sure I saw one once in a shop called the Embassy in Mansfield.[/quote] Yes, IIRC the first one was made in the late 80's or very early 90's and is owned by a lovely chap called Tony Lewis who plays in a band called The Progs...
