NBD - A Perfect trifecta ?

[walshy]

Had a nice visit from @Bunion today and somehow I ended up with this trifecta of basses. Not gonna lie, they’re pretty killer 😍 

Never had a Wal before but I guess everyone’s fave with be the Modulus 🤟

Nope, the Wal(s) do it for me. 😍

[Doctor J]

Given the thread title, I was expecting yet another mundane P, J and Stingray effort and was pleasantly surprised to see something very different. Shame on me. An excellent selection, indeed. Very cool.

[Bunion]

Good to see you again Paul.
Never thought I’d be without a wal again but they’re too good to be kept in cases.
Needs must and the need is Motown and Soul atm.
The Grabber might be a little more punk but the Precision was calling 😄

The Bag Ends are set back up and I’m going to get my ‘Duck Dunn’ on

Yeah those Bag End cabs were damn fine! The Wal are both beautiful mate and yeah I agree the both definitely need to be played. The Modulus though, that was never going home with you 😂 

 

Enjoy the P and the Ripper mate, both stupendous basses and with flats obvs.

 

Catch up again soon dude

That walnut faced Wal looks ace.

Yes, but the neck looks wrong... it's in the Pro.

[OliverBlackman]

Yeh 100% the modulus wins it

[SurroundedByManatees]

Nice trio. Those Flea basses are something special indeed. I like the look of that 2 pu Wal too, never played one though.

 

My guess is that Bunion got a very cool 63 P in return... Also lovely🙂

Shows you how much I know about Wal's.

IIRC, this swap was the subject of a thread some time back.

Yep and registered with Wal as carried out too. I have the print out receipts for the work. Easily reversed should someone want but I think they’re better this way around.

That’s quality provenance and manufacturer backup. Impressive. FWIW, I think they’re better the way the necks are currently fitted.

Yeah just been i. For a full clean and set up when they were swapped over. I’m in full agreement of they way they are now, been playing the fretted almost all day, sublime! Hoping no one wants to buy it 🤞

It is with a mahogany core

[Jack_Stroud_Bass]

Absolutely stunning. 

 

I've been in love with the idea of the Modulus ever since "Off The Map". Wal and Modulus are both bucket list basses for me. 

 

In the best possible sense, hope nobody buys them!

The Wal mk1 for me

Same!

[Bigwan]

Without a P-bass? No...

[jonno1981]

Amazing trio! I’d pick up the walnut wal 4 first, then the modulus, then the other wal4. 
As contemporary basses go, I think all three are as solid investments as you can get at the moment. I’m very jealous!

Well as I am sure most are aware, I have a fair collection of those already.
