BJC Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Can someone illuminate me on the differences between these two? I'm mainly concerned with the tonal differences. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philw Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Not sure if it really covers subtle tonal differences between Mk 1 and Pro IIE, but Trevor Raggatt's site here: http://walbasshistory.blogspot.co.uk has loads of useful (and reliable) info.

Shaggy Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Some really interesting reading there - secondhand prices sure gone up a bit since the Pro 1 / 2 article from the (early?) '90's - "The price to pay for a Pro-I in good condition, with original Wal case (brown moulded fibreglass with embossed Wal logo) is about the same as the price when new - around £375. The more expensive models follow the same pattern, meaning that you can be sure of your purchase remaining an investment. Expect to pay from £400 to £599 for those models, depending on type and condition." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markorbit Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 I used to own a ProIIE and a Mk1 Custom years ago. I found the ProIIE more 'electric/active' sounding. Great with a pick. I preferred it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
