Thanks KK for the update, even though it is rather bleek! I was afraid that was the case with new Wals. I have been checking ebay and the like recently, maybe...
Hello Chaps, I feel a little strange about posting here...English ex-pat, playing pro in Japan, used to have a pro11 fretless about 17 years ago. Loved it, but...
Never heard of a Sei Bass with Wal p/ups and circuitry. Sei's come standard with Bartolinis, and I have seen them outfitted with Kent Armstrong, Lane Poor &...
... I've heard of SEI's with Wal pickups before, specifically a fretless 5. It seems that Pete and Martin are close enough friends that Pete has supplied...
Thanks for the input Derek. I played a Sei last time I was in the UK, and it was very impressive. Now that is a thought... A Sei Bass with Wal Electronics,...
Morning all, As some of you may remember, I recently bought a passive Mk1 4- string fretless and, in a separate transaction, a set of electronics boards to go...
My 1st post in 2005! And it brings : -= in the UK : Fiesta red (?) Mk2 4-string with a (too) high asked starting bid ... item 3774715539 -= in Holland :...
Hi Mark, i saw a Sei with Wal electronics a while ago on ebay; if this has become yours, congrats, that was an awesome bass! now explain both bassfake and...

Martin, Intuition tells me parallel, as series gives a slightly "thinner" sound - but like I have said in the past, I am no electronics wizard either. This...
Good question, this is more complicated than on your average humbucking setup, as there are not just 2 coils per pick up, but 8 per pickup on a 4 stringer. ...
... Interesting. Both series and parallel wiring are humbucking and there's no absolute 'better' or 'worse' choice. The difference, in a nutshell, is that...
Thanks Derek, and all you guys for replying. I own a 4-string Custom, so I guess I should open that up and show the tech. I handn't thought of that, which...

It is a sad day. I have had to put my black MK I on the bay last night. Cash is tight, and I haven't played it in a couple of months. So, if anyone is...
I don't want to depress anyone here, but I spoke with Pete a couple weeks ago on this very bass and he said that you would need new pickups altogether because...
Steve what time of day (UK) did you get a hold of Pete?? thanks -G Stephen Chesney <walman01@...> wrote: I don't want to depress anyone here, but I spoke...
Steve- Comments?? - OUCH! that stings, but it is good information to know.....Looks like Martin will have to keep it passive - You heard it right from Pete....
very odd, how does a set of electroncs boards become available....you would need them for active pickups, Wals typically don't get smashed ala Townsend, and I...

Funny after a few Pewter Wal posts that thing hasn't surfaced again, how do you think the seller liked getting hit with the listing fees for reserve prices...
The bottom line is that Pete doesn't sell the electronics separately. He has made very few exceptions-I can only think of 3 in 30 years. I don't know what he...
This seems to be a rum situation all round. It makes sense that the active and passive pickups are wired radically differently. The active pickups are (as Mik...
