First string change since Paul built the new body and I couldn't resist having a look in the control cavity. I still have the old cavity cover.

My Wal and I have just celebrated our 29th anniversary and what a great 29 years they have been.

Vanderkley + Darkglass + Wal = Overjoyed

Not sure if Colin Cunningham is still taking pupils. Stunning player with great online resources. https://www.cocosbassment.com/

I would love to take lessons with him if I could find the time.

Before and after.

Here is the awesome opening of the case moment.

The courier has just left leaving this behind. 29 years old this month and one new body later here is my Ian Waller built black poly with a new Paul Herman birdseye maple body. The black neck and hardware look superb with the body.

Thanks I will give this a try tonight.

Shipped and will be with me on Wednesday.

I have. Especially if they can offer 24/96 flac files. I have no interest in MP3.

I am in my Saturday morning hungover intolerant phase.

I have been a subscriber to SBL for a few years and have got great value from my subscription. I think Scott is a great player and educator and would recommend him to anyone wanting to learn bass. He did a great set of lessons on how to read charts which I have watched repeatedly. I think I just need to unsubscribe from his YouTube channel and stay within the refined walls of SBL where his persona is very different.

I am attempting to watch a Scott video about bass setup today but his use of dollars when speaking made me hit the off button.

Let's consult the Oracle that is the magnificent Alan Gorrie. Case closed.

I have stopped watching both of them for this very reason.

The cello suites and violin partitas are essential listening. The prelude to cello suite No. 1 is a great piece to learn.

Great find. Thanks for sharing.

This happens to me for other reasons. Make sure to be well hydrated before going to bed. Beer doesn't count, it has to be water.

I am hoping to get in tomorrow for a look around.

A massive thank you from me for sharing these. I have made a PayPal donation and am looking forward to getting my hands on the high resolution version.

Regards

John

A big plus one for OBBM from me. Great service.

I can't stop looking at it. I am on holiday next week so it will be with me the week after. These have been the longest six months of my life.

Couldn't agree more. My reading was functional at best but I still got tremendous value from it. I have been without my bass for several months while it is being rebuilt by Paul from Wal and I have have taken the opportunity to work on reading and transcriptions. I am nowhere near being a decent sight reader yet but am light years better than I was just a few months ago.

True to his word Paul has just send me a photo of the completed bass.

Agreed. The bass playing and tone sounded epic during the intro then the inevitable slap kicked in.

Could you provide a few more details please such as age, assessment of condition etc?

Thanks.
