Drooooool....

Those things look so WALish ...

That square control panel is beyond coolness!

I like it! If it was in the US I might be tempted...

You mean Wals look so Hayman/Shergoldish. Remember which came first.

[uwe]

Trust the Brits to even steal from themselves. Was Waller ever with Hayman as an employee? I wouldn't be surprised.

[Highlander]

Nope, not as far as I can find... I had a thread running on these some time back with the PC links and such gibberish...

This bass was re-listed - http://cgi.ebay.com/SHERGOLD-MODULATOR-8-String-Bass-1981-/330584039168?_trksid=p3911.m7&_trkparms=algo%3DLVI%26itu%3DUCI%26otn%3D2%26po%3DLVI%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D1131965681003102791

There's also an interesting Hamer 8-string up as well, though it's been refinished, etc. - http://cgi.ebay.com/Vintage-Hamer-8-string-Bass-4-digit-serial-number-RARE-/370523986449?_trksid=p3911.m7&_trkparms=algo%3DLVI%26itu%3DUCI%26otn%3D2%26po%3DLVI%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D1131975799944831025

The Hamer 8-string seller is (Outpost member) Baz Cooper.

I didn't even make the connection! Damn, makes it that much more tempting...

Cool bass. I've got it's 12 string brother.  Hamer needs a lesson in how to properly foam a case...

You got that right! Both of my Hamer B12Ss came in "full-scale" cases.

IIRC Waller started his design by tracing a Fender Mustang bass.

Leo has a lot to answer for, God bless him...
