Bass is on hold for the moment.. Got quite some reactions..wasn't sure since these are hard times to sell basses, even those of which we think it should take no effort.

Thanks.. Forgot to post this essential picture..

This is a MK I fretless from 1987 number W2977 Although I'm really pleased with the sound I do prefer a fretless with dots inbetween the lines (like on a fretted bass). I don't want to modify anything about this bass and I find myself sliding into wrong places (especially in the high register) because of the dots which are on the lines. Having a luthier change the place of the dots is not really an option I'm fond of. I know that fretless Pro Wal basses have the dots on the normal place so I would be interested in a trade + some extra cash (from the buyer :-)). Sorry but not really interested in other trades..Price I'm asking is 2350 euros. It comes with a flightcase made in High Wycombe and it can be picked up in the Brussels area or it can be shipped (the flightcase could make it more expensive to send). If possible I would prefer a local pick-up but I know that's not the easiest thing to do. The bass is currently strung with flatwounds, has a great tone imo and has all the ingredients that a Wal bass has to have.. Feel free to email me for more info or pictures which you would like to see.. Some pictures and a small YT-thing (sorry that I forgot my stockings) which gives an impression of the sound (says more than writing about it) : Thanks for looking Geert

Like I said, you're never sure... got no news anymore from the "buyer". This bass is still for sale..

Still waiting for confirmation... I'm actually never sure until the money is on my account or in my hands. People change a lot and sometimes their longing is bigger than their wallet.. :-)

Bass is on hold..might stay in Belgium after all.

thanks, Pierre !

I bought this a while ago from a fellow BC'er (Pierre G.) since I was always intrigued by these beautiful basses.. I found myself not picking it up too often since I still favour my fretless Pedulla.. Maybe I also have to admit to myself that a fivestring fretless is no longer a thing to have (four seems to be enough for what I do). This still is a great instrument with a beautiful tone and a nice finish.. It comes with a F-gigbag, an extra set of strings and an F-strap.. Price is 1800 euros..(new these cost around 3000 euros) Bass can be collected here around Brussels or it can be send..I have a good feedback around here on BC. Not really looking for trades or it would be a nice Wal fretless (possibly a Pro) with dots between the lines (like on a fretted bass). Thanks for looking... Some pictures and a small clip to give an impression (sloppy intonation, could be better ..I know)

I've played this bass and it sounds and feels like it should.... seller is also a very trustworthy person. Good luck with the sale...

For the record...Frank is also an ok person to deal with, very trustworthy

Unfortunately there is no logic in sales....good luck anyway, have a Belgian bump.

I don't feel insulted at all and I'm from Belgium...:-) Maybe not everybody's humour but I thought it was rather funny.. it referred a bit imo to "I'm from Barcelona". To be honest I have also received quite some puzzling posts from certain areas and I thought they were pushing the limit a bit but you learn how to deal with it.. If I'm correct I already bought a bass(wasn't it the mocha Fender ?) from the seller (bought a lot of stuff around here with very correct people).. Good luck with your sale !
