JMJ gives a quick tour of his cool and quirky bass (and guitar) collection. The video lingers nicely for a moment on his three Wals... what a collection!

But nothing like: "We will be producing a new affordable series in *#¤(/&= so anyone can get one!" I like their approach. Quality matters.

Just watching TOTP 1984 and frankie goes to Hollywood’s bassist is playing a Wal 

[Dazed]

You mean “playing” 😉

[508pir]

Not for the faint hearted. Sounds stunning though even with single pick ups.

Saw Jonas Helborg playing his 4 string version a few times, that looked like you'd need a back brace to deal with it, god knows what your chiropractic bills will be like...

 

Cracking bass, officially jealous.

Stunning!  Love the colour.

I had the same model in sunburst and fretless in the 80's.  Still lose sleep over selling it.
