Greg Edwards' Bass Guitars
In this photo, Greg Edwards can be seen with a Wal Fretless Bass. In a Premier Guitar interview, Edwards stated, "I bought one because Mick Karn played them in the band Japan. When I saw the crazy and unique way he played that instrument, I was completely in awe. So in a way, he’s really the first person who brought attention to them."
I sold my Wal a while back and I regret it. It’s heavy – I don’t regret losing the weight, but that bass was so unique, the feeling of it and the way it makes you play. I didn’t find it especially easy to play. I liked that you had to wrestle with it, but if you did you were repaid with the tone.

For the making of Failure's last album, we can see here the tracking with a Fender Precision Bass American Standard.
They’re very new, there’s nothing magic or special about them. They reliably do what a 60s or 70s Precision would do without that extra bit of tactile magic you get from an old bass. I would say there’s certain transference of power down the neck when you hit a low E that you feel even when you’re not plugged in. The Wal was amazing like that – you could feel the power of the open E ringing through your body. Certain older P basses have that too. I love that, it’s one thing I miss, but they do the job and when we’re all playing it’s enough. I miss the Wal, though!
