AndroWal Posted February 4, 2011 Posted February 4, 2011 (edited) [quote name='littleal' post='1096251' date='Jan 20 2011, 04:48 AM']Heres a backing track i did for my daughter using this wal, Direct into the desk, Desk eq set flat, Bridge pickup solo'd tone filter on 2 & pick attack engaged,[/quote] Great track. Great Voice. Great bass sound! I have just about the same bass but lined and only 5-strings (Mark III/Walnut Faced Fretless). I'm going to have to try that setting you used this eve while tracking....I really only use the bridge pickup, but usually run it with the tone full open and pick-attack engaged. I keep looking at your bass and think about purchasing...but I think I am OK with just 5 strings! Best of luck. I know whoever purchases will be quite surprised and very happy.

Great decision! There just isn't any other bass that will provide the Wal sound other than a Wal.

I have it done before...there's nothing wrong about it..and it wont cost you £1000 ....

littleal Posted February 22, 2011 Author Posted February 22, 2011 Last price drop down to 3"250 or she's having a fret job done
Snarf Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 Every time I see this thread, a small part of me dies. Damn, that's a fine bass and I REALLY wish I would scrape together that kind of money.

dmz Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 Geez Al what ARE you thinking.......get her fretted - think of all that time you spent speccing her, saving for her, researching....... You can get ebony inlays to replace the existing ones on the side of the fingerboard. Would look nice with some maple dots actually on the fingerboard along with the frets - a la US Lakland Still loving the 6-string Thumb by the way

littleal Posted March 6, 2011 Author Posted March 6, 2011 One last bump for my fretless wonder before she becomes fretted
jedibass Posted March 12, 2012 Posted March 12, 2012 I have the prototype Wal fretted 6 string that I acquired from Pete Stevens around 1995. It's very collectible. As I have a problem with my left wrist, I no longer use it (a great pity!). I would therefore like to sell it. It comes with a hard case. I am looking for 3500GBP.
