Happy Jack Posted September 21, 2011 Posted September 21, 2011 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Wal-bass-1986-mk1-Mint-Condition-/320763607099?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item4aaf00383b OK, it's a lot of money, but you'd likely want to hang on to it. I doubt it's everyone's cup of tea - I didn't realise it was my cup of tea until I saw it - but I reckon this is utterly gorgeous. Quote
mart Posted September 21, 2011 Posted September 21, 2011 A pretty Wal? Would that be a Wal-flower? Ok, I'll get my coat... Quote
Clarky Posted September 21, 2011 Posted September 21, 2011 I reckon that may sell at that price, helped by the fact the wood facing is highly unusual (not really my thing but I can see why you would think it pretty). The Bass Gallery sold a vaguely similar pale olive wood faced Mk1 recently that was listed at £3500 and also has an attractive red stained Mk1 on stock at £3500. My more ordinary walnut/ebony Mk 1 fretless on the other hand had 60 watchers on eBay and no bids at £2700, sigh .... Quote
Ou7shined Posted September 21, 2011 Posted September 21, 2011 Looks like a Werther's Original. Perhaps it's a bass with senior appeal. Quote

Kiwi Posted September 22, 2011 Posted September 22, 2011 Can't see any images atm, I'm hoping the server is down... Quote
Kiwi Posted September 22, 2011 Posted September 22, 2011 Server's back up Cheers for that Clarky Is that maple or sycamore? I know Wal used sycamore a fair bit because it was easily available. It typically is a lot paler than maple. Quote
