Wilcock Bass

[alex_1_2_3]

I've got serious G.A.S for a Wilcock Mullarkey:

Does any one own one? What do you think?

Tried one at the LBGS last year. Absolutely excellent, and priced very well for a hand built custom instrument. 

[Lfalex v1.1]

I've seen ads for them. 

They look good,  but there's stiff competition from the likes of Ibanez Talmans (cheaper, I know) and Sereks, to name just two.

I don't really like V/T/3 way selectors. I'd prefer 2V/2T on a bass like the Wilcock (stacked knobs would be fine)

Nice to see something British made at a sensible price point.

I feared that this would be the case! Going to have to make the trip to test one out sometime soon.

Sereks do seem to be quite popular too, I quite like the look of the short scale 5 strings.

I’m just not a fan of the Sereks’ looks, but I know others who like them. I prefer the Wilcock styling.
