Piers_Williamson Posted August 27, 2024 Posted August 27, 2024 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
Reggaebass Posted August 27, 2024 Posted August 27, 2024 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

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

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
itu Posted August 28, 2024 Posted August 28, 2024 Seller can say that this is the first bass belonging to the golden 24 K collection. Quote
simisker Posted August 28, 2024 Posted August 28, 2024 (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, 2024 by simisker Quote
