    As a Wal owner, I have not even the slightest objection to their value going up and up. Quite the opposite in fact. Why do you find it 'objectionable' anyway? You obviously don't want another Wal so why should it particularly bother you? Do you object to the value of vintage Fenders etc too? Genuinely curious to know. Presumably you haven't seen the price of bolt on neck, solid wood Foderas recently..?

    I've got a NYE gig this year at the Cheese & Grain in Frome, with the ska band, supporting an Abba trib. Something tells me it's going to be a brilliant night. Can. Not. Wait. *jumps up and down like excited 5 year old*

    Fun? FUN? I'll have you know whistling is a serious business. Deadly serious. Tell him, Frank.

    Board width is 63mm at the 20th fret if that helps.

    A shade under 60mm.

    Does the preamp fit on a Stingray control plate?

      I'm sure he would do you a basschat discount @Rich and knock £200 or so off the asking price?

      ...and the benefit of paying the extra money for a pro players former bass is that you'll automatically be as good as them...

    Christ, I paid far less than that for it brand new.

    Westfield 'Thunderbird'-style bass guitar. NOW £80. Originally fitted with chrome hardware, but I have replaced this with black.... bridge, tuners, jack plate, toggle switch and knobs. Looks loads better IMHO. When I bought it the electrics were in a right old state, so I have completely overhauled them -- the jack socket has been moved to the body edge and the controls are now V/V/T with pickup selector toggle switch. The kitchen scales show its weight as 9lb 7.5oz. The body has its share of dings and dents but they are all very minor. The front of the body is flawless. It didn't have a truss rod cover fitted when I bought it, but I will try to find one that fits. The strap buttons are currently Schaller straplock type, but these will be replaced with ordinary buttons. EDIT: in the pics there's a couple of screws missing from the pickguard. These have be replaced. It sounds great and plays well, has the usual T-bird neck dive of course. It's been fun and scratched my T-bird itch, but ultimately it's surplus to requirements, last in first out etc -- the important thing is that it's leaving in a much, much better state than it arrived. I'd have liked to get back what it owes me, but at this price I'm not even getting that As it's a bolt-on neck, it would make the ideal basis for an Ox-style Fenderbird... I'm half tempted to do it myself, but I still probably wouldn't use it. And anyway, it plays just fine as it is, there's nowt wrong with the current neck. Collection is welcome from my home near Bristol, the kettle will be on. Alternatively I am happy to meet up within a reasonable radius (e.g. Chippenham). Cash only in either case. Straight sale only, not looking for trades unless you want to swap it for a Wal 5 string Sorry, but I will not courier it under any circumstances. I don't have the packaging materials and there are too many horror stories at the moment.

    Is your dad Roger Whittaker? No, because you would have mentioned it if he was. Therefore, by your own arguments, either your dad didn't whistle anything, or whistling does not in fact come from the aforementioned beardy crooner. Either way, you are definitely not right, and have thus self-invalidated your entire argument. QED. Or something.

    I'll take an ounce of whatever you're smoking.

    Whistling also came from my dad (and from me, I seem to have inherited it). There's a link to Roger Whittaker in that, on one particularly memorable car journey with my folks, my dad whistled 'The Last Farewell' all the way from Reading to Northampton. 2 hours. Two. Hours.

    Zombie quote Blimey that takes me back. I had a Delta rig for a while -- 300w head (I couldn't afford the 600) with a 1x15 cab and a 2x8 on top. Good sound but never seemed particularly loud, and oh my word that 15 was a heavy old beast. Massively deep too (dimensions, not sound). There's a great quote from Chris May in this thread:

    Likewise, my main loyalty is Elixirs. They're on everything, even my Tanglewood acoustic bass. Other than that, I do have three Genz-Benz amps (Neo Pak 3.5, Shuttle 6.0 and Shuttle 9.2) but that's only because I haven't sold the 6.0 yet. The Neo-Pak is currently serving as the house live rig at my mate's studio. I could quite fancy one of the G-B neo 2x12s. Obviously if I had the money I would have a house full of Shukers and Wals...
