Mickb1773 Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 (edited) Hi All, For sale a 1987 Wal Mach 1 with the following Spec: High Gloss Red: Olive Facings: Gold Hardware: Mahogany Body From the fact it comes with Custom Red Poly colour and the Gold Hardware, There is not many like this one out there and especially coming up for sale but needs must. It will also come with original Grey Wal Case, which is in reasonable condition given its age but it is missing a latch. Price is 3400 Euro (what I paid for it) and sorry No Trades: Need the cash, Here’s a link taken form Ville’ s Photobucket of the bass page … I hope you don t mind Ville.. Thanks [url="http://s626.photobucket.com/albums/tt342/prkl0405/Wal/"]http://s626.photobuc...2/prkl0405/Wal/[/url] All the best, Mick.

Papabull Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 Man o man at Mach 1 that has to be the fastest bass on the planet.... ( speed of sound at sea level) Looks pretty cool too!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
