Back in the early 80's I bought a fretless Wal. Very similar look to Scott's Wal with an amazing unmarked neck. I went down to the factory, played and discussed lots of options, what a day that was - they then built it for me over the coming months. It took me many years to pay it off, but what a bass. 20+ years later - it was stolen from my house in London. I'm pretty sure the thief had no idea what they had... I searched hard for many years but it never turned up. A bit of a sad end but we played many gigs togther and watching this video brought back some lovely memories...

41:07 A very fun to watch video, guys. Thank you! As an instrument maker, I've just *got* to make one correction [pushes spectacles up bridge of nose]: the top and back facings on the Wal Mk1 are in stained *sycamore*, not spruce. Spruce is far too soft to use as a facing and never has figuring (flame) like that. End of pedantry. 😊

But wait! There’s more (pedantry)! For the Yanks out there, “sycamore” in the U.K. is a variety of maple (oh what the hell, let’s go Full Pedant: Acer pseudoplatanus), while the sycamore in North America is related to the plane tree.

The output of a Wal can be adjusted in the electronics section. There are 4 mini pots inside. 2 are for slight adjustment of the low mid of each pickup, one for gain and one for the amount of pick attack.

Michael Anthony used a BB I believe. Yamaha makes great stuff, some of the best instruments I ever owned were Yamaha. I had a TRB 5 string and it had the clearest low B ever, I miss that thing I believe the late great Sean Malone of Cynic used a fretless Kubicki in the early 90s before switching to Ibanezes

Absolutely! Yamaha has a fantastic reputation for making high-quality instruments, and it's no surprise that Michael Anthony and others have found their sound with them. That TRB 5-string sounds like it was a gem! And it's interesting to learn about Sean Malone's journey with basses too. Keep those stories and grooves alive! 🎸🎶🤘

And Malone switched to using a Ibanez GWB, also present in this video. Only later he started using what I believe to be defretted Soundgears. This is from what I've gathered over the years of being a fan of Malone's, especially Gordian Knot era.

The neck on the '74 Jazz bass looks to be on a slight angle: the strings where the neck meets the body don't look quite centred. If so, you can probably correct that fairly easily.

I was looking for a fretless bass recently and found a 2019 MIM Fender Jazz for sale for 400 bucks. The guy bought it during covid but never played it. So i decided it wasnt a bad price. It came with a set of Seymour Duncan quarter pound pickups, badass bridge, hipshot tuner, and a hard case. He even gave me the Rumble 25, well worth the 2 hour drive. Those wondering the shop where he bought the bass from did all the work and the old parts were in the case.

It'a a nice collection, especially the Wal MK1 and Ovation Magnum IV but I'm surprised there is no Alembic, Warwick, Gibson or Stingray in the collection! For me variety is the key as it makes you play differently, I never have more than 1 of the same model/type of bass. I'm guessing Scott is mostly a lover of Fender Precision & Jazz basses and variations of them which is fair enough, they are classics (I have both too, but one of each is enough!)

I’m self taught and learn mostly by ear and learned on a 4string. I ended up without an instrument for several years and was gifted a 5string a couple of years ago and picked it up a few times, but the B string complicated the way I played too much so it sat for a year or so and I’ve been practicing my 5string for about a year(but regularly for the last 6-7 months. I’m leaning towards going for a 6 for my next, I figure if I’m learning to deal with a B string (right hand string mute and relearning how to slap in my particular situation) I figure I might as well add 1 more under the G. Personally I feel more at home still on a 4 however I haven’t regularly used a 4 in about 6 or 7 years. However like I said if I’m going to commit to learning to deal with the 5 I can’t imagine a 6 is much harder than 5.

I’m considering trading for a nice 4 that being said working on getting this project started and I’m willing to mostly focus on vocals and let someone else play the bass for the band but I do also like the idea of doing something like slightly stoopid where I switch between bass and guitar(or keyboard or whatever depending on the song). I do play okay on a 5 but I play more freely on a 4. I’ve also considered getting the strings to turn my 5 into EADGC at least as an experiment to see if the B string is my only thing throwing me off for now, and revisit it later. That being said ima need to find someone in my area who can play first cuz if not I’m gonna do it.
