This is truly the worst thread I have found on this site..................

There are some stunning Wals on here, and when you are wanting one as much as I am, this thread is 'real' bad place to be.

I am still saving, but with my amp playing up, and another pay cut at work, they seem to be getting further from my reach :)

one day.........................In the meantime, is there a way of stopping this thread being viewed for me :rolleyes:

Wal MkII 4 white polyester finish
gold hardware
fretted macassar ebony neck

Cheers Geert!
Nevertheless, the Wal six fretless has also returned to me after one year :) and it smmmmokes! Maybe I'm going to have to sell that wonderful LeFay Remington Steele 4 again, since I now have too many fretless basses - know the problem? :lol:

[quote name='walbassist' post='255271' date='Aug 5 2008, 12:04 PM']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]

Nice!!!
