  1. Haven't posted in here in ages. The Beech girl...and my MKIi
  2. Is this Wal still available? Cheers
  3. My MKII is the same weight @ 4.6 kg
  4. Would you consider shipping to North America? If you see my avatar I am experienced. I have bought 2 Wals from Germany (Gregor Imbusch) and one from England (Richard Turner) thanks
  5. Sweet rare Wal you have there GLWTS
  6. Wow, beautiful bass sir. This would sit perfect beside Muriel (Richard Finch-Tuners) old bass. A birdseye MKII. If all shipping details are taken care of, would you ship to N.America? Cheers.
  7. Lol...this bass wont last for 2 days. If it wasnt collection, i would have already made an offer on it....and paid full shipping and insurance on my own dime :-(
  8. I had mentioned over on TalkBass....That yes he was inbetween residences at the time....Considering we are looking at close to 70k worth of basses, im betting (hope) you would rent a climate controlled storage for these fine instruments.....IF that was me, i would have also set up a bed, have a loaded shotgun right beside me and a electrified boobie-traped door incase someone tried to break in. Also you think you would just take them to a family or friends place to keep safe. Fishy fishy indeed. Almost guaranteed this was an inside job, and not some “random” break in and stumbled on a whack of basses, with him only scheduled to be there a short time.
  9. [quote name='walbassist' timestamp='1491494785' post='3273518'] Probably one of my old basses if they are positioned like this [/quote]I own this bass now. Bought in winter of 2012/2013!
  10. [quote name='JohnR' timestamp='1493211736' post='3286546'] Here is the awesome opening of the case moment.

  11. [quote name='mikeswals' timestamp='1490741997' post='3267664'] If I must be brutally honest on why I order gloss, is because I hate the way the thin standard finish wears off and is easy to break through. I'll buy used Wals that to me just have unsightly and sometimes weird wear patches. The gloss finished ones barely need a polishing. But "serial offenders", ha! Now that's funny! [/quote] lol
  12. [quote name='Kev' timestamp='1412371514' post='2568434'] Is there much in the way of tonal difference between the two, out of interest? [/quote] [quote name='W11ATO' timestamp='1412371942' post='2568438'] If I'm honest Kev, nothing. Ive set them up identically and done the a/b comparison and I can't hear a difference. [/quote] Excellent Rob! Im going to save the link to this quote....you do not have an idea on how many people have it JAMMED into their head that woods/facings are going to impact the Wal tone. I have had to trick a sound engineer, to get him to shush on the "difference" between two of my Wals. So i did some tinkering with my set-up(s) and they sound identical. The basses were even made 20 years apart! Good luck with the sale of this bass. If i didnt have 4 already o would have bought this up on day one! Dean
  13. I'm really surprised this bass hasn't sold yet!
