Happy? Dunno. I’m not sure if it’s down to the likes of me to be happy or sad about a particular company’s business model that hasn’t changed and has worked and still works for them. If they changed that model, then it might be open to comment and criticism, as in the recent changes to Sadowsky business model with Warwick. As things stand, as much as I’d like to own a Wal, I won’t, as I can’t justify having that amount of money tied up in an instrument, even before you get to the crazy waiting times. I have one bass that is rather premium (not Wal level money) and I wonder if I shouldn’t move that on and use the funds for something else. I like to own basses for sure, but I’m quite pragmatic about their worth if they’re not getting used much and I’m not working in a band where they might see some action.
