Piers_Williamson Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 Has the world really gone completely bonkers. Does someone really want to pay nearly £24k for a one year old Wal? I am sure it's nice, but........ PS, other than this looks like a Geddy Lee Wal, I don't think it has any direct link with him...or have I missed something? https://reverb.com/uk/item/83832311-wal-mk2-geddy-lee-2023-red?_gl=1*1vx8p6a*_up*MQ..&gclid=CjwKCAjw8rW2BhAgEiwAoRO5rDjH_W8GFJn3fxQ_CrsC23GKY8umDqJMOsC1-nUgABa395hwuaTDchoC05EQAvD_BwE 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reggaebass Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 I don’t know a lot about Geddy but didn’t they make a signature model based on what he played in the 80s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody gets sig models. Geddy's two basses were just standard option items and quite a few were made even back then. He just happened to make those color combos very popular. same with Justin Chancellor, his is birdseye maple faces and a rosewood fingerboard... that was a base model Mk2 back then. Lots of folks order similar, but still not sigs. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has nothing to do with Geddy at all. It was ordered by a fella that frequents the facebook Wal Owners page. He had ordered this and a black & gold Mk1 as well.

Yer ‘avin’ a laugh, mate!” 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itu Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 Seller can say that this is the first bass belonging to the golden 24 K collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simisker Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 (edited) It's a silly price. But my god, it's also a stunner. I saw a couple of these trans reds at the workshop when I went to pick mine up back in the early 90s, and even though I was pleased with the Schedua facings on mine, I remember thinking "wait... I could have perhaps had a translucent purple?!? Damn!" Edited August 28 by simisker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
