Can anyone recommend someone who'll do me a set of nice padded covers for my Epi cabs?

[quote name='silverfoxnik' post='272107' date='Aug 28 2008, 10:40 PM']Just what I was thinking... Me and my basses (or should that be my basses and I?) may need therapy to get over the deep sense of rejection that this thread has caused.. [/quote] I think your Pro's a sweet bass Nik, and it sounds even better!

She wants [url="http://www.themodernfix.co.uk/"]The Modern Fix[/url]. They play just what she wants and are pretty damn good to boot.

[quote name='Platypus' post='256160' date='Aug 6 2008, 12:21 PM']Was it death by 'natural causes' Gareth ? Can't have been very old.[/quote] Just over a year old. Our very own OBBM checked it out and said the coil was open circuit. I've never driven the cab(s - I have two) very hard and they've been used with an Epifani PS600, which is the recommended amp (600 watts at 4ohms). The other cab seems fine btw. I bought the speakers from the US, so I can't be arsed to try and sort it with the supplier, so I'm just looking for a quick fix really.

[b]This is an updated thread.[/b] The driver in my [url="http://www.epifani.com/products/ps_112.php"]Epifani PS112[/url] cab died, so I needed to find a suitable replacement for it. As I knew Epifani use OEM Eminence drivers, I asked Eminence what a suitable "like for like" replacement would be. They advised the following: [b]Eminence Delta 12LF 500W Bass Driver[/b] Impedance: 8 ohms Resonance: 45Hz Usable frequency range: 45Hz-3Khz

[quote name='BassManKev' post='255275' date='Aug 5 2008, 12:08 PM']iv admired your avatar for a long while, most attractive wal bass i think there is[/quote] Many thanks. Here are some of the other Wals I've owned: W3306, built for me in 1989 and my first Wal W12397 "Blondie", with beech facings (note, again, the custom placement of the neck pickup done especially for me) W30496 "Fifi", walnut fretless. The one bass in my life I wish I'd never sold.

[quote name='overwater#1' post='255245' date='Aug 5 2008, 11:39 AM']Anyway.. I'd love to see some close ups of your MkIII!!!! Its jaw-droppingly stunning.. ! [/quote] You asked for it.... My Mk III was one of the last two basses Pete made. It was very special for a number of reasons, not least because I supplied the facings he used (picked up on a ski-ing holiday in Vermont). This is the only spalted maple Wal in the world. I also asked for a walnut core ( usually mahogany), and Pete gave the bass a double pinstripe veneer (usually only one). As this was going to be my ultimate Wal, I also had Pete make fretted and fretless necks (ebony boards, no dots, unlined fretless) for the bass, so I could swap them over as and when I fancied a change. I also asked him to put his fish signature on the back of the necks. Pete also bound the pickups with contrasting laminates. Again, a very unusual feature. Often the back of a Wal looks just as good as the front! And here it is, finished.... Enjoy!

[quote name='overwater#1' post='255233' date='Aug 5 2008, 11:30 AM']Yeah.. im no good at English either.[/quote] Hey Matt, no worries. I wasn't having a dig. I think a Wal thread is a great idea.

[quote name='Rich' post='255222' date='Aug 5 2008, 11:20 AM']Yes.[/quote] +1 And while we're there, can we punctuate it as Wals (plural) rather than Wal's (possessive) please?

[quote name='silverfoxnik' post='253823' date='Aug 3 2008, 06:04 PM']Maybe if it was one of the 'leather scratchplate' models, of which only 24 or 25 were made.. Otherwise, I don't think so. In fact, GAK recently sold a Custom Wal for around £1100/£1200 to someone here on Basschat, so that gives you some idea of where the market is at.[/quote] Wow that's nice. I want... I agree with Nik on price. A few months ago I would have said the sky's the limit because folk were paying silly money for Wals (I was offered £5k for mine!), but with the economic downturn prices should become more reasonable. Also, one important thing to remember is a lot of the electronics that went into these Wals are now no longer available, so should the bass break down it could be a big issue for the owner. Cheers Gareth

[quote name='silverfoxnik' post='250216' date='Jul 29 2008, 09:51 AM']I was using it for the first time in ages yesterday and it sounded just amazing..[/quote] I second that. Nik's Wal has a really nasty tone, but "nasty" in a good way!!!!!!

I think you dodged a bullet there CK.
