Man thats Shiny! It looks absolutely mint!

Congrats!


Come on after all those Warwicks and this is your 1st dream bass?

I never 'dreamed' of owning a Warwick; given the second hand market for them, I never saw them as a difficult bass to get hold of. Basically, when I wanted a Warwick for the first time I just bought one, and never looked back :)

However, I have wanted a Wal ever since I picked up an instrument and never thought I would find or afford one. So I am happy :)

It is in top condition overall, but does have a few issues that need sorting, namely a few dodgy grub screws need replacing and a bridge screw is snapped in the body. I intend to get her down to Paul for a full service to sort the issues out, I shall not let them dampen my spirits :)

Congrats Kev!!! Bass looks awesome!!

The cherry on top would've been a poly black neck ;)
What kind of timbre is the facing?

Yeah, its a poly black neck and black/gold hardware away from being the perfect Wal, but I love it all the same :) I like being individual too and don't like the idea of owning a signature type bass (Geddy) so a natural neck solves that problem ;)

It has maple facings, really, really nice in person but quite hard to photograph. I will crack out the SLR at some point and do some proper photos :)

Never fear, I'm sure someone will be along in a minute to do that for you by telling us how ugly Wals are. ;)
[size=2]It won't be me though, I think it's gorgeous and I am very very very very [i]very[/i] jealous[/size]

And I have one :) First time I can say I own a dream bass!


[/quote]


I would never have guessed that was a maple top!

You had a chance to play it yet Kev?
Happy bunny?

I should leave this thread now. The last thing I need is Wal induced GAS...

Cheers bud :)

It sounds fantastic, hopefully will be taking it in later this month for a full service and repair for the couple of hardware issues it has so I can get it setup as I want.

Early days, but this looks to be a bass for life :)

Nice one Geert! Congrats...
The fretless one from Kulit is also really nice. Have to admit I don't play my fretted Wal Shedua Mk1 that often. If I could ever exchange it for fretless Mk1 I would do it. Although I also still love my fretless Pro....

I find this thread both wonderful and painful in equal measure....
[/quote]It is a wonderful thread that never fails to make me go, "Ooh!" I need to stop looking at it as it could end in tears.
