Yay![/quote] I hope so, Nik! I have had some woods for facings with Pete for about 3 years. Hope to hear from Paul that he is ready to continue work on material that has already been sent like mine Quote

I suppose since I have to ask, I couldn't afford it. Can't wait to see a pic of a new one coming off the line. dunc Quote

BigRedX Posted November 6, 2008 Posted November 6, 2008 "Prices in line with Overwater..." That sounds like excellent value! I feel maybe a Wal in my future? Quote
Francis Posted November 6, 2008 Posted November 6, 2008 I really hope that everything comes together for Paul. With perhaps some back up from Pete things must be good. If Paul sticks to the old modelrange and partspolicy, bridges, knobs and pick-ups, I'm in for a six string! Cheers! Quote

I was thinking of getting some for my Pro2e.. Great news about Paul getting to this stage by the way, but i think it needs to be said Chris that Wal owners and potential new Wal customers owe you a huge debt of thanks for helping bring this about.. So thanks a lot!! Cheers Nik Quote

How's things btw - are you still annoying the neighbours with that 1x15 of mine? And is Mr Claber building you one of his at the moment... Saw some posts with one of his cabs recently and it looked really good! Quote
BarnacleBob Posted May 1, 2009 Posted May 1, 2009 Just 2 littile things 1. How long? 2. How much? There, I think that'll probably cover it! BB Quote

I would think my neighbours can now play that tricky run in the middle of Levitation no trouble and I am indeed awaiting the arrival of a Big One [steady son], so Denton can learn it too.

That pint sounds good but Monday I might be in Londinium.. so may have to PM you tomorrow to let you know one way or the other.. It's no problem if not then, as I'm not using it obviously... How long till the arrival of said Big One? Quote

franzbassist Posted May 2, 2009 Posted May 2, 2009 Hi Nik Say hi to Paul from me and I hope you have a great day. If I'd known earlier I would have invited myself along too! Oh, and make sure to take some photos! Cheers Gareth Quote
