Thank you for the kind comments, i'll put some recordings of my wal sixer up when it's finished I'll have to find another song to do on it.

Love the shape & the contouring, it looks expensive.

Silddx, i do like the sound of the black beauties and the la bella's seem very popular amoungst you guys. Littleal can you send me that link please. I've put some pics up, they aren't very good though so appologies for that.[/quote] That thunb looks lovely, Here's the link [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/KEN-SMITH-BURNERS-BBL-6-BASS-STRINGS-LIGHT-6s-30-120-/110516795108?cmd=ViewItem&pt=Guitar_Accessories&hash=item19bb5076e4"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/KEN-SMITH-BURNERS-BB...=item19bb5076e4[/url] These sound absolutly superb on my fretless thumb 6 & seem to stay bright for ever

You could try these guy's [url="http://www.electronicmusicservices.co.uk/traceelliot/"]http://www.electronicmusicservices.co.uk/traceelliot/[/url]

I used Ken smith nickle round wounds on my fretless thumb 6 & they sound superb with enough attack for a great slap sound, they sound very full & thick for that funky finger style playing too, there's a guy sells them on ebay in the us, fast delivery,no customs charge or anything, i can send you his link if you want? Would love to see a pic of your thumb sixer

I'm still available & looking to move from the isle of wight for the right gig

[quote name='Spoombung' post='824895' date='May 1 2010, 03:02 PM']I'm wondering why anyone would buy a Warwick. They are design abominations and are barely evolved from trees. Comparing a Warwick to a Wal is like comparing brass to gold [/quote] Ahh Dude the're not that bad, but compared to a wal

[quote name='Spoombung' post='824863' date='May 1 2010, 02:31 PM']Well I've got one. And I can assure you it does not play itself![/quote] Compared to my warwicks it feels like it does, the chunky wenge necks on my wicks are a physical work out

[quote name='lapolpora' post='824830' date='May 1 2010, 02:01 PM']Tasty! Very tasty If I had a Wal. I'd give it to you in exchange for your chops.[/quote] You're very kind, but i think if you had a wal you'd find it would come with that funky kind of vibe bread into it, they are so easy to play

Cheers, i think its the bass more than me though, it almost plays itself

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]

I remember that day well, Ziggy you must have had a few red bulls to keep you awake for that gig Dude!!

Very smooth player, i think he owns the very first 6 string wal too

[quote name='uzzell' post='808813' date='Apr 16 2010, 07:27 PM']Its all about the low B, has to be a Warwick.[/quote] +1 Warwick thumb 5 string bolt on, the best low b in the buissness!!

Hey Matt That is lovely & it's making me want another one!! Dam!! i knew i shouldn't have looked

Poor little thumb It's just asking to be saved, i'll bet that'll make a beutifull bass once the paint has been stripped & the body's all oiled & waxed. You say it sounds good & most thumbs do,, if you can get the neck sorted you should keep it, maybe see if you can get some kind of payment from the seller to help with bits & pieces. You need to save that thumb Dude
