[quote name='Chris2112' post='1083770' date='Jan 9 2011, 11:31 PM']The BT shape is great, so much more elegant than Ken's other designs. He should have stuck with that one! If it was good enough for Chuck Rainey...![/quote] I totally agree but the bsr shape is growing on me, I still really want a bt though I would love to buy my old one back but I have no idea who has it now,

[quote name='spiritchaser' post='1078275' date='Jan 5 2011, 09:35 AM']I have also considered having Paul build me an additional fretted neck for my Wal six. It really is a point that fretless playing is for home or studio use mostly ... I think 1000GBP for a fretted six string neck is adequate since most of the construction time goes into it. I think I remember reading on some Wal forum that Pete Stevens also mentioned that. And there is the point of being able to swap necks without having to worry about playability and bridge setup because of that brilliant neck bolt construction of Wal basses. I once had a 1985 MKI marked fretless with ebony fingerboard and stumbled over a used fretted 1986 Wal MKI rosewood neck for silly money. I swapped the necks without any problems and had two basses in one with two different sound characters without having to adjust or change anything about the setup of the bass - incredible! Oliver[/quote] Hi oliver, I like the idea of having both fretted & fretless necks but It's just being able to afford it at the moment, I also miss my ken smith bt6 & this would fund another one

[quote name='MC1970' post='1075878' date='Jan 2 2011, 11:13 PM']littleal, by the end of November I was at Wal workshop to place an order for my bass, and happened to watch various wal basses pics with Paul Herman since I wanted to show him the way I wanted the figuring of the top wood. When we came across the pic of your bass, he sort of "jumped" saying that he was particularly satisfied with yours, far better looking in person than in photo and very good sounding. I just thought that it needed to be shared with you, M[/quote] Thank you for that, unfortunately I need a fretted 6 so it may have to go unless I can afford to have a fretted neck made

[quote name='Soliloquy' post='1075784' date='Jan 2 2011, 09:44 PM']I enquired about a fretless neck for my old 4 string fretted Wal, Paul quoted me over £1000, that was last January. I shudder to think what a 6 string fretted would cost.[/quote] I didn't think it'd be cheap & I'd probably have to sell another bass to pay for it.

It is with big regret that I have to let this go but I no longer need a fretless bass, this wal is as new & sounds & plays out of this world, it is on the wal web site in basses & gallery (american walnut facing with gold hardware, it cost me 4'250 I'm asking 4000 or px for the same but fretted, ken smith bt6 black tiger as in my avatar or maybe an alembic series 2 5 or 6 string, Any questions & I'll be happy to answer them. I'm offering this for 3850 for this week only Now down to £3600 I will now let this go for 3'250
