Tallyho Posted August 10, 2013 Posted August 10, 2013 (edited) Update: Now sold. Hi there, I've decided to sell my Wal Mk 1. It's in great condition, dated Feb '87 (W2845), and hasn't been played in years so deserves a new home. It comes with the molded Wal case ... the front-mid latch isn't attached any more but I still have it. I'm not interested is trades, thanks. Edit: there's a few small dinks / wear to the top and rear edges of the bass (not really visible from the front or rear as you can see). I've posted another 2 pics below. Selling it for £2500 + postage. Interparcel seems to be a popular choice on this site so I'm happy to use that. I'd be sending from Glasgow. Cheers.

White Cloud Posted August 10, 2013 Posted August 10, 2013 Looks exactly like the one I traded to Sound Control in Glasgow against my better judgement around about that time period. A really big mistake BUMP!
CamdenRob Posted August 10, 2013 Posted August 10, 2013 Oh Lord... If this is still here by the time I get back from holiday...
ModLad69 Posted August 11, 2013 Posted August 11, 2013 Please tell me the weight of your Mk I? Thanks!
steviedee Posted August 11, 2013 Posted August 11, 2013 Looks amazing, good price and in Glasgow. Shame it's not a fretless!
Tallyho Posted August 11, 2013 Author Posted August 11, 2013 @ whitecloud... I did get it from sound control, around '98. To be honest I don't really want to sell it but could do with the money. Thanks for the interest / comments. I'll get back to the other questions soon.
Tallyho Posted August 11, 2013 Author Posted August 11, 2013 The woods listed are shedua facings and mahogany core... sorry, not sure what the fretboard is. Cheers

[/quote] 99% certain this is my old Wal....it's a touch heavy - but what a tone! I bought this bass brand new from McCormacks in Glasgow 1987 for £750 on the never never...I traded my Rickenbacker 4001 for it (I got £350 for it). John Entwhistle played it briefly at one of those a Bass Centre weekends that were so popular at the time down in London. There you go ...a bit of a history lesson. I would buy it back if I could.

Tallyho Posted August 13, 2013 Author Posted August 13, 2013 @White Cloud ... never thought I'd find out the bass' history ... cheers for posting. I did use it to record some of the latter Ganger tracks, long forgotten now, heh.
Tallyho Posted August 13, 2013 Author Posted August 13, 2013 I have a buyer who plans to pick the bass up on Thursday. Assuming everything goes as planned, just wanted to say thanks for the posts and interest. Should things fall through for some reason I'll update the forum. Cheers
