Partner for my fretless Wal

[Clarky]

I did have a search out for a 5-string Wal but was today offered a Wal Mk2 4-string at a reasonable price and - having wondered whether I would really get to grips with a 5-string (I have flunked before when I had an Alembic 5'er) - decided to play it safe and buy the 4-stringer. So here is the rather lovely 2004 American Walnut-faced, ebony board Mk2 I have acquired today

Nice one Clarky, you do get your hands on some cracking basses.

[Happy Jack]

They're damned near matching basses, too.

Oh yeah Clarky has got some truly awesome gear. I would love a Wal but can't justify the expense, nice score there C

Whooaah - absolutely fabulous! I'm very envious indeed

[BigRedX]

Nice! Actually that's very nice.

Maybe it's time to start a thread for fretted/fretless pairs?

I'd be interested to hear what you think of the two body designs. I've owned two of the original shape (Pro IIE and MkI custom) and found them heavy but also poorly balanced (heavy tuners, short upper body horn!?). Does the later body design make that much difference?
