FlatEric Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 Hi. I have just bought a Doug Wilkes Bass, that is coming up to ten years old, from a fellow BC'er, Lewibassist. Lewis had this built, to his specification, just over nine years ago and has looked after it, very well. What a cracking instrument!! I have only put it through a small rig, at the mo' but sounds lovely. I will put it through the big rig on Thursday and let you know how I got on. Details here.

BassBus Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 That's really spooky. I was just reading the story of Mark Manley's Wall double neck at the top of the page. He talked about slapping on a fretless neck and suddenly I remembered about Wilkes basses many years ago. He put a small metal plate at the end of the fretless neck to give something of the metalic snap. Then I scroll down and here is this thread. Just a lovely looking bass you have there. Bet you enjoy playing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
