What a gorgeous bass. I love thisand would buy if I wasn't buying a house soon.

A couple of weeks ago I had put some DR blue coated strings on it.. most bassplayers really didn't like the look. I thought it looked kinda cool...:-)

Will do, although it probably won't be til next year.

Only went to Jets once but the memory stays with me. Whenever I'm over there I always end up in the Mill Ave Beer Co in Tempe for some reason. I think it must be the beer. I have friends in Gilbert so it's always a fun trip.

hmmm would my heart and soul be enough to pay for it??? or my kidneys too?

have a bump on me, its beautiful

[wombatboter]

Thanks for the bump but if all goes well the bass will be leaving Belgium next week...
The bass is as good as sold. The young man who gets it surely obtains a beautiful and great sounding bass.
The blue finish is just a joy to see and the sound is punchy and full.
I had doubts to sell it but as I said I don't want to be a collector and this bass deserves to inspire someone else who plays it a lot.
I don't believe in great basses locked away or staying in cases too long. The people who build them want their basses to be played.
And with the money I get I can look around for something else which will inspire me hopefully for a while.

Oh no you're not-although that's about the nicest one I've seen.

Hi Wombatboter

just received the blue WAL at 10:00 this morning. Looks as great in natural as it looked on the pics.
Thank you + once more: it was a great pleasure to deal with you! Sorry for the bad photo, but had only
my smartphone to took one by UPS-delivery.[attachment=26051:DSC_0002.jpg]


All the best to you. Regards,

federli71
the father who loves his son very much... and he's loving WALs very much ;-))
