RhysP Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 You can certainly see where Wal took their inspiration for their body shape from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Low End Bee Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 As used by Steve Diggle before he moved to guitar and my cousin Gary. These are great just like the Shergold Marathons they developed into. I would love one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matty Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Theres also a shergold Marathon on t'bay at the moment, which is what the 4040 evolved into. Both are over priced by nearly £100 though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
