CamdenRob Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 (edited) [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/181985686347?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&fromMakeTrack=true&clk_rvr_id=964917996993&rmvSB=true"]http://www.ebay.co.u...6993&rmvSB=true[/url] Looks a good deal at £3500... The only reason I haven't bought this and sold my MK1 fretless, is that I have a fretless 6 on order and the MK1 will be easier to sell to pay for the new build when the time comes.

Musashimonkey Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Ok, now I get it! This is the first Wal that's made me stop and look! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowregisterhead Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Very nice indeed. I'm after a fretted 5 myself, but the two on eBay at the moment are a tad pricey... anyone seen any others? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazed Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Of the many things A Wal can be, cheap is not usually one of them. What is a reasonable price £3000-3500 ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andydye Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 (edited) while I am after a mk1 fretless ideally I keep seeing 5 string ones and they look lush...what is the usual scale length on the 5 string Wal?

With the increase I expect that is now £5650 + extra for specialist facings, matched headstocks etc. hence £3500 for the American Walnut sixer on ebay is pretty good [quote name='andydye' timestamp='1452615557' post='2951698'] while I am after a mk1 fretless ideally I keep seeing 5 string ones and they look lush...what is the usual scale length on the 5 string Wal?

Dazed Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Yeah I meant a fair price for a 5er, 6ers are rare, can't say I've seen many used appear for sale. Does look nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
