CamdenRob Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 [quote name='Highfox' timestamp='1498738556' post='3326712'] I'm stoked I just today got an email off Philip showing me a selection of woods I could choose for mine [/quote] It's such a hard choice! I spent hours looking at slightly different bits of wood agonising over a decision. Of course any of them would have done fine! I think in the event of any future builds I'll just get Paul to decide for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eude Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 [quote name='CamdenRob' timestamp='1498738713' post='3326716'] I wanted something lighter coloured to compliment my fretted ziricote six.

Ian Davies Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 [quote name='CamdenRob' timestamp='1498737829' post='3326694'] So... Photobucket seems to have stopped letting me share images, that's new... Imgur it is from now on then. [/quote] I was at Wal HQ this week and saw this bass in the flesh. The maple facing is absolutely stunning and unique! Really nice instrument Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for showing that, Kulit! The fact is that I have intended to take better pictures of it before sharing it here, but that just hasn't happened since I've been too busy playing it.

PJS Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 (edited) Thanks!! I love this bass. I've had it for nearly a year and I'm still discovering new things. It seems to be impossible to get a bad or unusable sound from it. The electronics are fantastic. Edited to add that I waited almost exactly 20 months. Not too bad! It precisely matched Paul's time estimate. Ask and you shall receive; here are a couple of tunes I've done with it: [url="https://youtu.be/9RsAnhr3vsI"]https://youtu.be/9RsAnhr3vsI[/url] [url="https://youtu.be/t731zTXyHvo"]https://youtu.be/t731zTXyHvo[/url] Edited July 4, 2017 by PJS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urban Bassman Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 I had some very exciting news from Paul over at Wal HQ today. My MKI was scheduled for early Dec but it seems that it will now be ready in September! He sent me a photo of it to show where it's got to in the build and...damn it's pretty. It looks better than I imagined it would. Roll on September! Here's the pic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CamdenRob Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 [quote name='JohnR' timestamp='1499455811' post='3331743'] Great choice of facing wood. [/quote] It's lovely isn't it... is it Birdseye? So much variation in Wals. Paul has an incredible eye for detail regardless of whether you want something subtle or full on coffee table.

It looks fabulous with the old black poly neck. [/quote] I liked the idea of the contrast between the maple top and the black pickups and bridge. I also went for an ebony fret board to continue the look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
