I moved straight from a wal custom 4 string to a tobias pro 6 (korian version) & found it very easy to play, it took me a couple of weeks to get used to the extra strings & being able to hit the right notes & i had to realy think about the way i slap & pop but around a month later i could play it just as well as i could play my 4 string. I have had a few sixers since & currantly own a warwick thumb nt6 (not recomended as a first 6 string "very chunky neck") but i love it If you can find a tobias pro 6 go for it, dial in the bridge pickup with the tone backed off will give you a pretty convincing tye zamora tone, they usually go for around £300-£400 with through neck & active eq, the neck is i would say is a medium width but is very slim & comfortable. I would definately have another one of these but at the moment i'm waiting to see if paul herman will build me a 6 string fretless wal once he's sorted out his back orders

This isnt mine but i sure wish it was....

Thats a lovely bass !! I traded a flambouyant headless 6 on here for a through neck warwick thumb 6 for the same reason, my sei bass just lacked punch, it seemed ok when i played it on it's own but when i played it with my band the sound got lost. strange thing though is both basses have bartolini pickups but my thumb thunders through the sound of my band, i now wonder if i put mec actives in the sei the same as my warwick has if that would have made the difference?? Just a thought

[/quote] Thank's, i originaly bought it fretted & had martin peterson at the bass gallery relace the whole fingerbaord with an ebony fretless one, i just wish i could buy it back but i have no idea who owns it now. fretless wal's just sound awsome!! i need another one, maybe a five or six string if i could find one.

I know this may be an old thread but i thought i'd share an old memory, i sold it a couple of years ago & really wish i hadn't

I've had too many basses to mention here (always looking for that perfect sound) as i play a vast range of music, funk,soul,rock,m.o.r,METAL & even country if i'm payed enough. after going through the motions with trying different basses i settled on a warwick 5 string thumb & a wal custom 4, the warwick could cover every style of music with a bit of tweaking here & there. i sold both basses & bought a sei 6 a lovely looking bass that had a nice sound of it's own but i missed the sound & feel of my warwick so i traded it for another thumb nt6 & now i feel at home again, so i would say that in my mind the warwicks that i've had are very versitile in covering most types of music. Now i just need to find a nice wal 6 string as the 4 string i had was just an awsome bass. Josh don't let anything put you off buying a thumb, if i'd known you were after one when my girlfriend collected that eden cab from you, id've let her take my one with her just so you could try it.

Mmmm!! A brand new six string wal.... i wonder how much that would cost ?? i've lusted for one ever since i first saw one..

Thanks guy's, i'll have a look, getting it out is a problem, even if i unsolder the wires it dosent look like it will fit through the hole

Does anyone own or have in the past played a six string wal? The reason i ask is, i have just played a wal custom 4 string that my dad owns & i cannot believe the sound i got from it, the problem is i play a six string (warwick thumb) all the time so it would be a six that i would have to find

The inner part of the jack socket has come loose in my dads wal custom, does anyone here know how to remove it completely & if you can still get them new? Any help is greatly appreciated

When there's enough room on stage the Rick gets to go through both the V8 and the Twin Valve rigs. Ah150 GP7 was bought new by me in 82 and has never let me down and really is just an amazing amp. 410 is actually a Hartley Thompson design prototype with Trace speakers.[attachment=15573:V8_etc.jpg][/quote] WOW A slot head eb3!! I love those basses, i tried to buy one recently from a guy in the states but he would,t ship it over here Nice gear too, i've just gone back to using trace gear after trying loads of other stuff, you can't beat it.
