My New Love

I got my fretless Wal in 1986 and have loved it ever since! It makes so much sense to me to find a bass that does it for you and then work on the music. GAS is a great way of kidding yourself that the problems with your playing are with your gear not with your competences as a player. I hope you and your 5 have a long and fruitful relationship.

Yeah, I think it's kind of like love in that you don't know what it really is 'til it happens. Glad you've found what you're looking for - looks like a fair few people on this forum are pretty far from that stage.

I've had mine for years now and although she's a bit old and battered and maybe not the most glamorous, I'll stray from time to time but I always end up going back to her. Anyway, that's enough about my wife......

I've spent a lot of time in the last year buying and selling but I also seem to have really settled on one bass that just 'works' for me (well, actually I'm cheating a bit because I liked it so much I immediately bought a 2nd one!).

I sat down yesterday for a quick noodle and got up again over 3 hours later, no bass has ever done that to me before :)

Hope you have many happy hours with it :rolleyes:
