[size=4] [quote name='Francesco' timestamp='1411677621' post='2561904'] It must be a W3xxx serial number, build in the late ´80 /´90. It has the latest design stringtree. [/quote][/size] [size=4]good eye!! Ya i forgot that detail....its doesn't have the two part string tree.[/size] [quote name='goblin' timestamp='1411671646' post='2561827'] It's a shame your chance to buy one fell through, they sound and feel absolutely amazing. The option's here now for you though [/quote] it is tempting! been wanting to try out a passive Wal too [size=4] [/size][size=4]. i have things lined up locally in the Wal front that i'm waiting for i'm afraid....plus shipping across the pond always adds a bit of unnecessary stress......[/size] [size=4] [/size]

[quote name='goblin' timestamp='1411651448' post='2561558'] G'wan Philw, you know you want to Or even make me an offer! As for it being more mark 2ish, I've seen that page before and it comes as a bit of a surprise, as it's Mark 1 body shape. Either way, Wal's a Wal in my eyes Ideally I need it gone in the next couple of days, there's an Infinity I've seen and I know it ain't gunna hang around [/quote] don't want to sound or be argumentative, but just to clarify, its a Mach 2 in a sense that it means its the reissue of the Pro Series bass (second generaton). NOT A Custom series Mach II. This[b] bass is not a Custom Series Mach I [/b](Mk I), which the title misleadingly suggests. However you did mention it was early 80's so it very well may be a [b]Mach 1 of the Pro Series basses,[/b]but saying Mk I along with Wal has been synonymous with the Custom series. From Walbasshistory: [url="http://walbasshistory.blogspot.com/p/a-minor-diversion.html"]http://walbasshistory.blogspot.co.uk/p/a-minor-diversion.html[/url] [i][color=#333333][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=4]"The true chronology of these basses is not entirely clear. A number were certainly issued around 1989 or 1990. However, occasionally the odd bass surfaces which seems to have been build in the early/mid 1980s (around the same time as the Custom series was launched). It may be that this is a design that Wal dabbled with on a number of separate occasions."[/size][/font][/color][/i] Prob the only way to tell is by the serial number imprinted on the neck plate. W2XXX suggest early 80's W3XXX suggest late 80-90s here's a Pro from the Wal data bass Had a chance about 2 years ago to nab one of these, but it fell through since I was offline for a couple days since i was in the hospital and the seller went to the next buyer..... would've been cool to add to the collection!!!

Cool Wal!! These kinds are pretty rare and hardly pop up. What's the serial number on the neck plate? It'll help determine what year this bass is, but just to clarify it is not a Custom Mk I. Its actually a Pro Series Mk II (reissue Pro basses). A tell tale sign is the presence of a tear drop electronics plate. More info can be found here: http://walbasshistory.blogspot.com/p/a-minor-diversion.html All the same, its a very lovely bass. Whoever grabs it will be one lucky player!!!

Bumping this up for one of the nicest person i know!! Also Tom and Rachel are the best people to deal with!! For those who are "click lazy" .....

Nice!!! Saw a wal fretless neck available at bassdirect too, so if someone wanted a fretted and fretless Wal. This would be an awesome option!! Just a friendly bump from across the pond. Fortunate for me my Wal GAS will be tamed in the next coming days
