littleal Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 I found out last week that my new 6 string fretless should be finished by september :brow: So having serious wal withdrawl symptoms, i ventured up to my Dads to borrow his 4 string custom & played along to this backing track (I forgot how seriously funky these things sound) This is straght into the desk with no eq added, bridge pickup solo'd & the tone filter around 2 [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XP-DIhMyvwI"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XP-DIhMyvwI[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are design abominations and are barely evolved from trees. Comparing a Warwick to a Wal is like comparing brass to gold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mokl Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 Funny enough I've found the necks on the 2 Wals I've owned very chunky, with the Mach I being a very pronounced "V". I understand they do vary a fair bit though... I had a Thumb BO which although chunky depth-wise, felt quite fast to me! My current bass has just been refinished by Paul H. and I asked him to shave the back of the neck for me, so I'm hoping it'll be less "clubby" than it was before. Anyway, sorry for the ramble, lovely bass and admirable playing there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassBod Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 Nice playing there! I could never get that good a sound out of the (2)Wals I've owned - but to be fair I think I was pretty clueless about amps and eq back then....actually, I don't think I've changed that much.
