walplayer Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 (edited) The Wal now lives in Sweden,the guy purchased another 5 from me while he was over here in the summer and had that one with him. Nice bass. "[i]Ok I have sold this one now, bought second hand and sold to a low profile member on the old Bassworld, who I think has quite a WAL collection. This was to get a 'proper 5' and to allow me to play synthbass lines (it was a Midi) but the project never came off and tbh the bass never seemed right for me as it seemed to have a few mild dead spots - possibly due to the hollowed out fretboard. Unusually for a Wal it had an unfaced maple body - wonder where she is now? Seen here with all the interface units.[/i]" Edited December 5, 2007 by walplayer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niceguyhomer Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 Beautiful collection BeLow, I don't usually get moist over Wals but that was a beauty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niceguyhomer Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 Weird innit about basses and their sound soloed/in the mix. Most of the mistakes I've made in the past have been down to this very thing. I'd buy a bass because it sounded wonderful soloed but as soon as I used it live (we don't have the luxury of rehearsals so I couldn't try them first) I'd often be dismayed to find that they turn to complete mush in the band mix. The best basses I've owned that sound great soloed and in the mix were my Bongos, which Peter bought off me. Conversely, I've always found Ps don't sound that great soloed but playing with the band, there's not much better IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul, the Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 [quote name='BeLow' post='104220' date='Dec 14 2007, 11:28 AM'][/quote] I'm in awe of this photo. And the first of your Shukers (fretted) is probably my favourite looking one so far. I'm quite the envious shrew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreeneKing Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 Nice one Jon. You know looking at your collection again is really nice, it reminds me how classy they all look. Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutToPlayJazz Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Hey Jon, I remember your collection from the old site, especially for the beautiful Pangborn & also of course because you're the bloke with the TRB-6 II identical to mine. Fantastic collection you have there My TRB has found itself a definitive role, with jazz bands, shows & for other extended range tasks. Excellent bass. Rich.

OutToPlayJazz Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Yes, it is a heavy beast, but I really like how you can ease off with your playing and it moves 'dynamically' with you. Really is quite sensitive for a powerful active bass. Mine is still several mega-tonnes lighter than my Marcus Miller jazz, though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budget bassist Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Nice collection mate I just thought i'd chime in that the squier jazz 5 string you have isn't a vintage modified, it's a Jazz deluxe V, but they do look very similar, still, very nice basses none the less! I saw one in white the other day, VERY pretty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budget bassist Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 nice i was tempted to get one, but i don't use my current 5 string much as it is. I still want a squier jazz though, some of them are really good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
