Paul when my Chapman Stick came from L.A. to Scotland the strings were not slackened. When I opened up the case I found the stick to be in perfect tuning,...
Various schools of thought here. In theory the neck is designed to have the tension of the strings counterbalanced by the tension of the truss rod at all...
Great idea Stephan! No! It hadn't even crossed my mind.... (duhhh....!) I may try that when I have a bit more time (though I am a little wary as I have just...
Just over a year ago, I ordered another bass. During the summer (This summer), I was visiting the factory, and Pete told me to call him during the middle of...
Last we heard (Sept 2nd) he was doing fine but had been extremely busy settling in to new premises. Not sure this forgives lack of contact with paying...
... Which did you prefer? And did you swap them back? I fully intend to swap the necks on my Wals, but haven't done so as I need to have two sets of brand new...
I feel your pain...I was trying to reach Pete all last month, regarding a truss-rod rattle issue with my less than a year old MK I. He did return one call,...
Klam! browsing through the posts from before i joined i came across this posting of yours and was so happily surprised to see a fellow walnut that digs the...
Hi, the ad in loot is from me. It`s actually "Wal fretless wanted" but placing wanted ads in loot via email is a precarious process. Sorry for the confusion....
I agree with your obscure suggestions for people to listen to (Even the oxes who dont have a bass player), I have actually played with the Oxes and Billie...
I`ve been offered a 5 string with honduras mahogany facing (it`s not the one just sold on ebay, the wood is much darker almost walnut).It`s fretted but i`m...
Well folks. I'm no longer a Wal owner so I guess I must leave. For those that are interested; the bass sold for 920 GBP (a bargain I suspect) and at one stage...
Hey Paul, There are plenty of people here who don't own Wals - the group is for enthusiasts as well as owners. Feel free to hang around and throw a few...
me sorry for the confucius too, Good luck with your quest, apparently you're already making progress. (have no experience with changing fretboards, can't...
Yeh Paul, no need to leave this group! hop in once in a while and tell us when the wal-itch is back! And 920GBP indeed is a bargain for a 5string Wal (in good...
... Thanks Mik. I think I will ... It's bigger than it was... or am I just getting thinner? It has drummer-drool stains on the left sleeve and a worn patch on...
(sorry, no much wal in here ..) Hi, P_P, what's the name of the band you played with the Oxes and Billy M? haven't seen The Oxes yet, but they're coming on...
Hi guys, Just done some tweaks to my Wal dedicated website (what a sad man I am!), revamped some of the styles adn formats, added some new text and piccies in...
mo - Sorry for the late reply.... Damon Che is one of the best drummers on the planet. PERIOD. "What Burns Never Returns" is one of the most amazing albums I...
Just want to let the word out that I am looking for a Mach I 4 string (not TOO old - but I'm open to anything). If you have one you want to sell or see one on...
Oooooh! That's almost tempting! If I was to sell you my Mark I you'd have to tell me your secret identity! Hmmmmm, but then you'd have to klam me - so...
Trevor & Mik - Thanks for all your help and input with my questions on the 1980 Wal Pro II fretless. I have decided to buy it. It is a natural finish with the...
Will letting the battery run out have the same effect? Maybe- I dont know because I keep mine nice and new and zingy. You can acheive an almost passive sound...
... No, if your battery goes flat your bass will start to distort in a fairly nasty fashion. The good news is you'll have to pretty much leave it turned on...
This is just a word of warning about a scam on ebay. People are sending out bogus "second chance offers" on things people have bid on and lost out. I made a...
Hey Mike, what's the SN on this one? And a pic would be really nice when you get the time. I don't think I've seen one of a Pro II, natural finish with the...
