I needed one from the other side, but thanks anyway! Actually, harleyyy from the dudepit forum sent me a spare he had laying around for free! what a guy!! I...
Wow, $600????????????? Are you in the states or the Congo Barry? I thought shipping would be $150 to $250. Sorry to hear about the quality issues. It...
When I bought Wals from the UK, the import duty was about $250 on top of the shipping which was about $250 as well... Also I emailed Klam angain at his old...
I was reading a thread on the Dudepit on Wal standards of build. A lot of people seem to be saying that Wals ain`t what they used to be, painted-on fret...
hello everyone... after quite a bit of deliberation, I've decided to "get rid of" the following Wal Mk III 5 str lined fretless. Ultimately this was an impulse...
Put down whatever you are smoking - you aren't ordering a new Wal. A) you can't get a hold of Pete unless you physically go to his shop, even then your risking...
Hi there, Regarding mention of Overwater basses as a reasonable substitute for Wals, I recently played a used (though only 10 months old) Overwater 5 string...
Well scratch that then, good to know Mike. A previous Wal-ut, Ian and quite a good player too, happily switched to Overwater other than that and the website...
Now there is a fine example of a great Wal, classic fretless configuration, fairly priced too. A real stunner Jonsey. asknowinc <no_reply@yahoogroups.com>...
Shame to hear that about the Overwaters, as I had been giving the make some consideration. I just did a quick check of their site, and it appears that all of...
Oh, isn't it sad to be talking like this here! We can only hope that when Pete finally gives up the ghost with the building and chucks it in somehow Wal rises...
Since buying my Wal 18 years ago, I have lost touch with the market in british basses (why look when you already have the best, but since buying a cheap 5...

I had to reply about the Overwater Knobs situation. I sold my WAL of 19 years and bought two Overwaters, a 6 string fretless and a 5 string fretted Progress...
Yep i`ve been thinking about Martin at Sei, he does make exceedingly good basses :) I`ll persevere with Pete and see what happens otherwise it`s off to the Sei...
If Pete sold the pickups that would be great. You could easily have a Wal style bass built. Copy laminate style, woods, neck joint and fingerboard radius and...
Greetings everyone!! It has been a while since I posted here. I am the one who waited 4 years and then got the side dots painted on. I figured I would throw in...
Steve I could tell that thing played great by the pics, but yeah corner cutting is not acceptable. We all know Pete's pressure is self inflicted. He wont even...
Come on! That's 6 painted dots a year for four years! I'll bet they're the BEST painted on dots ever! (this is a joke I hope you know...) And by the way,...
Yes, It is extremely sad to be reading these kind of comments about Pete, the Wal marque, production woes, quality control (sic), and where the future might...
Great post Mik. You're as much of an expert as can be had in the universe I know -G Mik Walker <mik_walker@...> wrote:Yes, It is extremely sad to be...
OOOOoooooooh MATRON!!!!!!! Painful I know. The little locating tangs on the plastic spigot for the Master Vol knob of my Pro bass broke off. D'oh! that...
Eloquent response Mik, I really couldn't have put it better myself. I feel so sorry for Pete. When I saw photos of Mike G's visit to get Bluey Pete looked...
If I lived in the UK I would organize a surprise group trip over to Petes, bring several cases of tetleys, and basically get things sorted, then when he kicks...
... cases of tetleys, and basically get things sorted, then when he kicks us out after being there for oh say 3 minutes, we would come back the next day and...
I`m after a Wal 5 string. Anybody got one getting dusty in a cupboard or being used as a door stop ? I`ve got a mk1 4 string for part-ex if that stretch for...
Hi G, i also still wonder what happened to thee almitee Klam ... We sure could use a good Klam-freakout here, to lighten things a bit up in these days of way...
