Wal MKI 1985 for sale - SOLD

Less than a year ago I had five Wal basses but I found that a bit too much...
I sold a couple of them and now I have a fretless and two fretted Wal basses.
This blue one I bought in December 2008 from Pete Collins and it is a great bass with a nice blue finish.
I don't play it as much as my shedua so it is a pity that it is not played enough though there's nothing wrong with it, I just like the looks of the shedua more.
I don't want to be a collector so I'm selling the blue one with a non original case.
Serial number 2623 which situates it around 1985, olive facings..
It is in excellent condition, sounds really great from a funky slap to a nice jaco tone or a deep sub-bass.
Looking for 2600 euros, it can be collected at my place (I live near Brussels so there's the Eurostar) or it can be send though I prefer a pick-up.
Always ready for more pictures or any questions. I'm sorry but I'm not really looking for trades either..
Thanks
Geert

Scottsdale..?

I went to a bar called Jetz or Jets there a few years ago. Beautiful waitresses on roller skates tending to my every need. Is it still there. I go to Phoenix every couple of years but didn't venture to Scottsdale last time.

Were you in the Bass Gallery last Saturday afternoon trying it out by any chance?

What's that one on the right called? Is it also a MK1? It's identical to Rory Macdonald's Wal, and I've never known which exact model it was....

Anyway, sorry for the partial hijack, sweet looking bass, wish I could afford it!

I remember Jets. No longer there. Bars in that area change like water. Your memory is vivid - mant good looking girls there. Let me know when you travel to Scottsdale again!

I was there with my friend, Nik - silverfoxnik on this forum! First time for me as I am from the States. Did we talk? I'm back now in Arizona. Had a wonderful stay.

That looks similar to the one my dad had made a few years ago, except his was Mk II and had an ebony fingerboard and matching headstock.

Absolutely beautiful bass mate, and if I could afford it I would buy it!!

Good luck with the sale.

Hope the cabs are still too cool for school.

You need a Wal in your arsenal.

NO, but I did see two gentlemen (is that the correct term? :) ) trying out a Wal while I was in their checking out a Zon Sonus (the Zon's neck wasnt' for me). We didn't talk, but I remembered hearing a US accent and when I saw your location thought it must have been you!

Haha, still loving the cabs, they are great and really work well with the Little Mark II. Unfortunately no Wal for me - the necks don't do it for me, but I am currently seriously tempted by a Ritter :rolleyes:

Bump for a cool bass. I have loved the sounds available out of the Wal's I have played.
