Pics? Any history on the bass, how long have you had it etc? Never seen a white /gold Wal before

[RhysP]

If you're asking three & a half grand for a bass the least potential buyers might expect are some photo's, and quite possibly some more detailed information too..... just sayin'.

[kulit17]

its actually in the old wal data base too....

[jfader101]

Apologies for the lack of pictures. I will upload some asap. But the above picture is identical to the bass I'm selling.

That MK2 from 2010 is mine - still beating every other Wal I've owned. The offered MKI looks awesome, too.
Best of luck with the sale jfader101!

Didn't the FIRST series of Wal have a bigger/squarer headstock?

[EMG456]

I think when the Custom model replaced the Pro Bass, the headstock was reduced in size and was missing the two extra walnut stringers,

Some folks (including me) actually prefer the look of the originsl headstock and at first certainly, you could order your Wal Custom with the older style "paddle" headstock. I know of at least two, a matching pair of fretted/ fretless that were ordered that way.

Anyone knows what happened with this bass? I was in touch with this guy but no replies since a week ago.

[kulit17]

don't think anyone knows. your guess is as good as mine, but after being scrutinized on how much this particular bass was originally purchased for by the OP and the OP not providing pics or further details on this bass, it may be safe to say W3457 went into protective custody....such a shame too

[CamdenRob]

I don't really follow either

[Happy Jack]

The clue is Post #8.

Cloudburst spotted something that no one else had spotted, at which point the vendor suddenly dropped off the radar.

Might just be a coincidence, of course.

[jfader101]

Decided not to sell this. It's a great bass despite the colour. Nothing a bit of gaffer tape can't cover up for a while...
