Hey thanks

Looking for a little bit more than my ashdown tour bus 15, Im looking to pick up an 801 (S/H) I like the simplicity of it (and of course size) just for jamming/get togethers & home practice, other thoughts guys? thanks

Excellent

Ok ok, You got me, that’s quite cool👍 Out of interest so you play a Wal?

4000, so you really believe Wal make everything? The bridge is probably cast by someone in slough, saddles turned by a small engineering firm up the road and assembled by Wal, I think the tuners ate Schaller? The knobs are injection moulded from anywhere etc etc (I’ll give you the electrics though👍😆) Wal use lovely looking bits of wood though, but then so do the guys on the forum that make their own wonderful basses too, it aint hard to source a nice bit of wood👍 I used to own a couple of very expensive early panerai watches, I loved them but over the years thought about it and it came to me that the movement was a $300 generic ETA (modified and engraved by panerai) with is what the majority of what we think of as ‘high end watch makers’ use,

I would love to try one, see what it’s all about👍

I have never played a Wal and the only urge I’ve ever felt to own one is because of its value (sad I know!) I’m sure they play great but what I struggle to get a grip of is they’re just ‘bolt on’ and the headstock isn’t even ‘angled’ back, cosmetic maybe but that doesn’t justify the prices, whereas if you look at something like a NT thumb bass, it looks stunning👍 And probably at least half the value of a Wal (S/H) construction/cosmetics wise the thumb appears a better buy (btw, haven’t played one of those either 😆)

Of course rob green’s guuna do it but I’m asking has anyone any info before I decide, status will be top money with a wait (you think I’d ask the Q otherwise?) Thanks though👍

Thank you, I’ll check them out

Ok, I’m sure it’s been addressed a lot but what would be the best way to play along to my playlist from phone or tablet into my Bluetooth headphones? (So the bass is obviously amplified through headphones) make sense?? cheers

Yeh I got a luthier lined up just wondered if anyone had any experience in spraying resin

Anyone sprayed a resin bodied status? Think it’s a S4000 cheers
