flippyfloop Posted April 21, 2008 Posted April 21, 2008 (edited) This is my Wal Mk 2 custom fretted. Built 1996. I bought her in 1998. Mahogany body, padauk facing, rosewood fingerboard. She has been well looked after over the years but has sustained a few minor knocks to the body as you can see in the pictures. I'm sure I don't need to explain to you fellow bass players that this is a fantastic bass. Solid, reliable with a huge organic sound. I also have a moulded light weight Wal hardcase. £2,700 No Trades. Cheers Edited January 27, 2009 by flippyfloop

thisnameistaken Posted April 21, 2008 Posted April 21, 2008 Keep it. Don't you have any kids you could sell? Nieces or nephews?
Dazzlovski Posted April 21, 2008 Posted April 21, 2008 I'm sat here thinking; "I WANT IT !!" Little voice on left shoulder saying... "BUT YOU DON'T NEED IT !!" I reply "WHAT THE **** THAT GOT TO DO WITH IT !!"............... Sheeesh !, that's one purdy looking bass flippyfloop, I have funds for this and would be mighty interested, just need to work out a plan to smuggle it in the house and disguise it as furniture until she no longer suspects I'm fuelling my GAS problem again.... (I am the man in this house.... honestly ) Would you drop me a line when you post this for Sale, if of course you decide to do so.
mgauction Posted April 21, 2008 Posted April 21, 2008 I'd be interested. How does the reverse look - neck & body? I'll await the better photos.
Snarf Posted April 22, 2008 Posted April 22, 2008 Oooooh, purty... Damnit, no! Don't do this to me!!! It's a real good thing this isn't a 5 string, else I would be in serious sh*t with the bank right now.
steve-soar Posted April 22, 2008 Posted April 22, 2008 2.5k for something battered with a neck like half a baseball bat? If it was left handed, of course.

flippyfloop Posted July 22, 2008 Author Posted July 22, 2008 Hi peep's, I have decided to sell my Wal bass. I've just got a new digi camera so I will post some nice pic's this week for sure. I'm looking for £2,500. Cheers
WalMan Posted July 22, 2008 Posted July 22, 2008 P'raps I should have had that Pro2/Custom at the w/e after all I'll console myself with the moral high ground of having passed on the joy to a fellow BC'er without taking a cut. Nice bass BTW, but it's still a 5 I want really
bassjamm Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 Wal GAS is just the worst kind...soooo expensive, and this is a beaut!!!
Rayman Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 Yep, maybe the one bass I lust after the most, but will never own. Stunning bass.

parker_muse Posted August 14, 2008 Posted August 14, 2008 I'm so glad i've never played one so i don't know what the fuss is about!

wombatboter Posted September 11, 2008 Posted September 11, 2008 [quote name='flippyfloop' post='279798' date='Sep 8 2008, 04:26 PM']Hi fellow bass peeps. A five string Wal bass ( same age/ better condition ) just sold on eBay for £3,750.00 ! I may put my Wal on eBay very soon. Offers ?[/quote] Sometimes it's really hard to predict what prices are going to be... About two years ago I was able to buy a fretless Pro Wal Bass on the German ebay for a great price (641 £). I didn't use it a lot (I had four other Wal basses) and decided to sell it (an instrument needs to be played). I didn't want to make a big profit out of it and put it back for sale in Holland and Belgium for 800 £... I hardly got three reactions and they all made a lower bid... Finally I sold it to a bassplayer with a big love for Wal-basses for 700 £... Just proof that you never know what the response is going to be...
