gary mac Posted June 16, 2014 Posted June 16, 2014 That is a very lovely example I love a Wal but that is serious dosh. Quote

visog Posted June 20, 2014 Posted June 20, 2014 [quote name='CamdenRob' timestamp='1402916688' post='2477773'] Less than a year to go for mine! [/quote] What does that mean? The 2nd hand one looks nice but that pricing if for the current trend for them surely. Is it worth that? (You could get most of Mark's other stock for that and he's got some amazing basses....) Quote
bakerster135 Posted June 20, 2014 Author Posted June 20, 2014 If you think that's pricey, you should see Pino Palladino's old midi Wal at the Gallery!... http://www.thebassgallery.com/BassProductListingTemplate.cfm?Brand=Pino%20Palladino&type=Bass%20Guitar&Cat_ID=1 Quote
visog Posted June 20, 2014 Posted June 20, 2014 Exactly... you're paying for the name, the trendy make. Don't get me wrong, they're great basses and have that swoopy tone thing happening but at the end of the day, you're still faced with dishing out Em on the plank just get something that works and hit the 'shed...

[/quote] Not sure I 100% agree with you there visog, having played a few MK2s I must say that they are really noticeably high quality. You can feel the quality and resonance of the wood, and the tone acoustically. The eq is also ridiculously versatile (I'd describe as slightly more than a "swoopy tone thing happening" myself tbh! ). Personally reckon they're a lot nicer looking, better sounding and more versatile than any Fodera I've played, and those go for this kind of price!... Regardless of all this though, I wouldn't pay £3600 for it, it is a bit too expensive for a second hand bass. Knock about £1k off it though, and the bass would already be at my house! Quote
bakerster135 Posted June 21, 2014 Author Posted June 21, 2014 P.s. You can probably partially blame Justin Chancellor of Tool (and his legion of gear-copying fans) for knocking up the prices on these! Quote
MoonBassAlpha Posted June 21, 2014 Posted June 21, 2014 All moot as it is sold now according to the website. Quote
