Interesting projection @LeftyJ. I wonder if things will fall into the pre/post situation we have now (Fender by Leo, Fender after Leo, Fender post CBS, Etc.), and we'll see 'real' Wals as those made by Wal himself and/or Pete the Fish? What will be a 'desirable' Overwater? When Chris retires, will current owners be sitting on gold mines? Oh, for a crystal ball (pre-acrylics of course).

Why mod it? Just don't dime the volume (and adjust bass/mid/treble to taste).

I never turn the volume of my active basses up fully. Try around a third to half volume on the bass, keep the input level low enough to avoid distortion and use your master volume on the amp to provide volume.

I don't think that this can actually be done (without the help of Q Section). I have a bass with the same gold pickguard and silver controls. If I were you, I'd leave well alone and learn to love it.

My '91

Or over it?

Here's a couple from 2018.

Eden 4x10 and 1x18 with Aguilar DB751 for louder Euphonic Audio 12" x2 with i-amp 800 or Aguilar TH700 for quieter Line 6 Studio 10 for "Shhhhhhhhh!"

Yes unfortunately, it used to be sunburst with a tortoise steering wheel. The tortoise passed away around 1997 I'm afraid, but it should be an easy fix.

It was indeed 'sand'. OK, £900,000 and it's yours.

Yep, yet more jumping onto the 'vintage, so it must be worth a million' bubble. I must get my 1982 Austin Allegro out of the garage. It has an eight-track fitted -'best sound ever'! It has to be worth at least £500,000. 😎

From my perspective, fanned frets are fairly easy to get to grips with except if playing up at the dusty end. I can't really get overly comfortable with the angle of the frets up there. Maybe it's just me? I play a Dingwall Z3 btw.

Yep Reggae, it belonged to a Tone Monster. 😉

When playing Kraftwerk?

So tell us Rosie, did your friend win?

Go Neeps! Don't mod it - it is what it is and what it is, is different. Enjoy.

Ah got you babe - Sonny and Cher

Bottle of Red Wine - Derek and the Dominoes

The very one I was on about. 👍

I seem to remember it looked a bit like that.

IIRC, don't Stonefield use a similar jack-socket on their uber-expensive creations?
