Yes I have to agree, Marks lust for bling got the better of him, as this mock-up looks more business like.

I may get a set of black bridges and see what it looks like with black base plates and gold saddles.

That was my immediate thought and it seems I am not alone in thinking this will look very tasty indeed.

You know, as great as that looks, I think I prefer the gold with that top wood.

I am here you know! 😁

 

Well, it looks like we have a hung jury!  The gold bridges were just some I already had and don't owe me anything, so I think I'll buy some black ones also and experiment.

I like the gold!  Beautiful instrument, absolutely lovely.

Many thanks, I try my best, but Marks input has been fantastic.

Fabulous looking instrument!

The gold is fine, nothing wrong with a little bit of bling here and there. 🌟

Thank you, Steve - Gawd, how many years ago was it you installed that ACG filter preamp in my old Zoot?!  I hope all is well with you.

And, @Steve Soar- you're more than welcome to pop over and give her a blast any time.

Whoops - I had forgot!  That'll put the kibosh on that then!

[fleabag]

Nah,  play it right handed , upside down, and strings back to front.  Easy peasy

Wow.  Very lovely.  Looking forward to hearing a head to head with funkles walish. 

 

Meanwhile ... it looks better made than my actual Wal.

 

Timescales aside ..... comparative cost to a new Wal?

The Zoot Boudica "Wal-a-like" is £2,600.00 - £2,750.00 Also available in a left handed version at no extra cost.  I'm not sure, and correct me if I'm wrong,  but I think a new commissioned Wal will set you back around £6,500.00 and they are currently quoting a 4 year wait as a deliver time.  Regards, Mike.

...and the rest.  No prices published at present.  Delivery time undefined as they're not taking new orders.

 

*** Please note that the demand for our basses continues to exceed our production capacity, and our delivery time has now stretched to over four years. At this moment we are no longer accepting new orders until the backlog has reduced. Please let us know if you would like us to add you to our list to contact once when we are accepting orders again. ***

 

Prices don't, it seems, put off the people who MUST have a "Geddy" or a "Justin" look alike ...

I didn't realise it had gone over 4 years... That's a long time.

A LOT longer than 12 - 18 months anyway!  Best put your prices up, @Cosmicrain, or you'll be snowed under with orders! 😁
