This is mine:





It's not finished yet, but I am really pleased with it so far. The 115 is homemade and I don't use it since I got the GK 212 Neo - I may add a GK 115 neo at a later date, just not sure I really need it.

That pedal board is a monster ! i would not know where to start pressing the buttons

I voted yes.

I do like the look of some guitars , old Gibson 335 and the like , but generally i prefeer the look of a bass guitar

I really want to check out the MTD 535-24 , just a long way to drive.

A Very cool and mellow looking bass guitar , I like it alot

Pop this into the "for sale or Trade" section , could get some interest .

Welcome to bass chat

bump

I have had 4 different amps and then found the Epifani amps and cabs.

I have an Epifani UL502 amp and UL 210 & UL 410 speaker cabs

I really love the tone and weight of this rig and I can't se me getting rid of it any time soon

That is awesome to look at

I dont think i could do that with my bass guitars , i am not brave enough.
I would be so scared that they would all fall down like as set of domino's

If you go to my myspace page.... [url="http://www.myspace.com/androkotula"]http://www.myspace.com/androkotula[/url] , all the bass tracks except for the one entitled "Ocean" are played on 5-string Wals. Mostly Mark IIs....a couple on a Mark III. I used fretted Wals on "Protected", "Falling Face the Sun" (both on a Mark III with Shedua facings) and "Cathedral" (a Mark II with Maple facings)....others of course fretless, a Mark II with English Sycamore facings. And I do have a Mark III fretless once owned by someone posting here!

FYI...I keep my filter controls flat...no adjustment. Fretless always just the bridge pick-up. Fretted I favor the bridge pick-up.

Is there much differance between the MK2 & MK 3 Wal bass guitars ?
Looking at the Wal website , it hints that the differance is mainly body shape ?

[quote name='littleal' timestamp='1331796206' post='1578839']
but remember a little goes a long way with those tone filters,
You need to spend a bit of time with a wal to understand how the preamp does its thing, [/quote]


I have seen the term "tone filtes" mentioned before , could you please explain what the do a little more ?


I have a had a look on the Wal website , are the tone filters part of / built into the tone asjustment knobs ?
or is it an adjustment that is done inside the control cavity ?

I would not have thought so , but you never know , ya might pleasently supprised



They do a 14 day money back deal so you could give it a go and then send it back

Chis,

I bought a 5-string fretless Wal Custom from the Gallery last year ... and immediately had it fretted. It sits alongside a 4-string fretless Wal Custom in my studio.

what is the difference between a Wal & a Wal custom ?

I appreciate that you're way out West but, if you're coming up to London at all, please feel free to drop in and see me. I love having people play with my toys.

Thanks so much for all the great offers that I have been given in this thread and via PM it is very much appreciated

I think that the only way for me to decide properly is to play these things .
I shall plan a trip soon and get in touch with you.


Thankyou all for the great posts so far it has been great to hear your views on these bass guitars.
Everyones ears and playing styles are different and I need to check em out

Thanks gwilym , your right ............................... that is a good clip ..... groooovin

That sound clip is slightly "safe" sounding as it sits in the mix and i wonder if that is more "me"

Am i right in thinking that the core tone of a Wal bass is slightly more walm / creamy / less edgy sounding compared to an MTD ?

It could just be the sound clips that i have heard so far though.

Does anyone have any sound clips or video clips of any Wal 5 fretted bass guitars that they could post ?

[quote name='Gwilym' timestamp='1331727418' post='1577749']
There a some sound clips here [url="http://www.basssandiego.com/mtdbass.html"]http://www.basssandi...om/mtdbass.html[/url] of various MTDs which might be of some help.
[/quote]


Thanks for the link gwilym, most helpful.

Based in hearing the basses in the link , i am prefering the tone of the rosewood fingerboard bass guitars

[quote name='chaypup' timestamp='1331717008' post='1577472']
What, the one you're selling in your sig?
[/quote]


Thats right,
I am still keeping one stingray 5 , i dont plan on selling them both.
I have one with Maple fretboard and one with rosewood and at the moment the maple works better for what i am playing at the moment as the maple has slightly more mid range bite.

I am after and MTD and just cant keep them all

I am glad that it is not just me then


Here is a clip thet i found on youtube , this is the kind if thing that i am after - [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j4RF_Dap_kM"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j4RF_Dap_kM[/url]

I would love to see what the low B string is like and what variety of tones you can get out of the bass.
I wonder if a walm , smooth tone can be achieved ?

I think that a bit more detail would help any interested party
