Chris Horton Posted January 7, 2013 Author Share Posted January 7, 2013 [quote name='White Cloud' timestamp='1357566726' post='1924544'] You certainly do have a great tone there indeed! Wals are fantastic fretless basses (as well as fretted lol). [/quote] Do you play a wal bass ? im guessing that it is a fretted wal ? are there any pictures of it in the "wal porn" thread ?

rubis Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 That's not me in the video clip, although I did have a beautiful fretless Wal in the 80's. My one regret in life was getting rid of it, but there you go! Regards Harry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah , a few changes , the main player is my Mtd535 its a bass that can do it all tonally. My first love is old precicion basses and my aim is to get my hands on an early '60's precision, Its nice to dream Do you still have your great playing jazz?

Fat Rich Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 (edited) Yup, time flies! Your old red P bass is my favourite Precision by a distance, it's a tone machine and a joy to play. I think I worked out the date on the neck stamp, it decodes to an early '72. The body must be after late '74 due to thumbrest position although I read somewhere that Candy Apple Red was discontinued by Fender in '73 so something's not right there. Neck plate is late '75 or '76, pots '73 but from different batches. No wonder you couldn't date it accurately, I reckon it's got to be a bitsa, and possibly a refinish. It's a great bass though so I'm very happy with it, my search for a P bass is over. Still can't chose between the two Jazzes you played, they're both exactly what I want from a Jazz bass. I generally go for the one that has the freshest strings, which is the chicken coloured one at the moment All the best to you and your family, I think if you traded them for basses you'd probably regret it Edited September 15, 2013 by Fat Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
