josh3184 Posted March 24, 2009 Posted March 24, 2009 i dont think GAS quite covers that. Whats the consensus on a good price for it? Quote
whynot Posted March 24, 2009 Posted March 24, 2009 Noticed this yesterday but I had a lefty 5 string WAL back in the 90's and was quite heavy compared to any 4 string WALs I tried or owned, so I'll be passing on this. I think it needs a new nut as well due to being strung the other way at some point, the groove being too wide on the G string. Quote

I tried a 4 string Custom in the Bass Cellar a couple of years ago and found the shape uncomfortable, very deep U shape. It was really battered and they wanted £2500. Quote

I think the weight was the major issue for me. Could not fault the sound, but if your standing with a bass for a couple of hours then you have to feel comfortable. May be worth asking the seller if he knows what wood is under the black. My old MK1 had a lovely neck. Was a little narrower than a MK 2 I tried. Quote
