Come on after all those Warwicks and this is your 1st dream bass? [/quote] I never 'dreamed' of owning a Warwick; given the second hand market for them, I never saw them as a difficult bass to get hold of. Basically, when I wanted a Warwick for the first time I just bought one, and never looked back However, I have wanted a Wal ever since I picked up an instrument and never thought I would find or afford one. So I am happy It is in top condition overall, but does have a few issues that need sorting, namely a few dodgy grub screws need replacing and a bridge screw is snapped in the body. I intend to get her down to Paul for a full service to sort the issues out, I shall not let them dampen my spirits Quote
kulit17 Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 (edited) Congrats Kev!!! Bass looks awesome!! The cherry on top would've been a poly black neck What kind of timbre is the facing? Edited September 10, 2014 by kulit17 Quote

The cherry on top would've been a poly black neck What kind of timbre is the facing? [/quote] Yeah, its a poly black neck and black/gold hardware away from being the perfect Wal, but I love it all the same I like being individual too and don't like the idea of owning a signature type bass (Geddy) so a natural neck solves that problem It has maple facings, really, really nice in person but quite hard to photograph. I will crack out the SLR at some point and do some proper photos Quote
CamdenRob Posted September 11, 2014 Posted September 11, 2014 What a looker! bet she sounds fantastic? Quote
UglyDog Posted September 11, 2014 Posted September 11, 2014 [quote name='Kev' timestamp='1410377769' post='2548838'] I shall not let them dampen my spirits [/quote] Never fear, I'm sure someone will be along in a minute to do that for you by telling us how ugly Wals are. [size=2]It won't be me though, I think it's gorgeous and I am very very very very [i]very[/i] jealous[/size] Quote
bakerster135 Posted September 11, 2014 Posted September 11, 2014 Congratulations Kev, that's just beautiful Right number of strings too! Quote
kulit17 Posted September 11, 2014 Posted September 11, 2014 (edited) Speaking of which, i don't think i ever posted my latest acquisition here in basschat.... got her a couple weeks ago and she is mint!!! Edited September 11, 2014 by kulit17 Quote
CamdenRob Posted September 11, 2014 Posted September 11, 2014 (edited) right that's it, too much Wal for one day..... I'm off for a lie down Edited September 11, 2014 by CamdenRob Quote

mikeswals Posted September 14, 2014 Posted September 14, 2014 Fantastically beautiful MkII Kev! Congrats! Quote
Kev Posted September 16, 2014 Posted September 16, 2014 Cheers bud It sounds fantastic, hopefully will be taking it in later this month for a full service and repair for the couple of hardware issues it has so I can get it setup as I want. Early days, but this looks to be a bass for life Quote
wombatboter Posted September 23, 2014 Posted September 23, 2014 Got this one in exchange for a Ken Smith and really pleased with it...yew and from 88 if I'm correct.

barend Posted September 23, 2014 Posted September 23, 2014 (edited) Nice one Geert! Congrats... The fretless one from Kulit is also really nice. Have to admit I don't play my fretted Wal Shedua Mk1 that often. If I could ever exchange it for fretless Mk1 I would do it. Although I also still love my fretless Pro....
