Sold.

Tell me about it! Sold/Traded 3 of my other basses and I genuinely thought this would be the first to go.

Just done a deal on Richard's Zon Legacy Ultra. Great comms and a gentleman to deal with, great packaging as well. Look forward to see if Richard has any future basses for sale!

Well I've heard it's a conspiracy... I heard it because I started it; I'm not sure on the details but I'll get back to you.

No it was distinctly odd as the sales threads were different people, different basses (not just the Wal, other high end basses) and they had all been tagged as withdrawn with absolutely zero replies or responses to the ads. If someone posts a Wal for sale someone ALWAYS has a comment to make... it's the law.

I now look a bit of a plonker as all of the basses listed/withdrawn have been deleted... can a mod please tell me I'm not cracking up! LOL The odd thing was they were in a couple of different names and it was the fact that 2 people had Wal basses for sale at the same time and had withdrawn them.

Can't see a way of posting about it in the actual sales section but has anyone noted the amount of basses that have been posted for sale and then withdrawn almost immediately before anyone can comment? Odd!

So if it has a serial number and is a solid colour it could be German OR Japanese? Yep that pretty much is where my research lead me as well.

My Pro II is 8lb so a lot lighter than 99% of Pro I basses.

Hopefully they are back, thanks for the heads up.

I'll add my £0.02 worth... I've owned 5 Dolphin basses; 1989 Pro I (one of the first), 1990 Pro I, Set Neck Tone Chamber, Pro I 'custom shop' and a Pro II. I presently own said Pro II and all others have been sold, that speaks volumes. They share the Dolphin shape but the neck location, feel is superior (IMHO) on the Pro II. Added to which they are lighter and the Ash body maple neck sounds unlike any other variant. What is sometimes over looked is that the neck/horn position means the first position sits closer to you on a Pro II than a Pro I. They do sound 'burpier' than the Pro I and you well never get the distinct tone of a NT Dolphin from one of these BO. One caveat is that the rear (bridge) pup solo is far to thin to be used in isolation, unless you are really trying to get that sound. Footnote - the German 'Shadow' made basses 'v' the Japanese ones; I've yet to see or have a definitive way of identifying which is which... and I've done a fair bit of research over the last 30 years. Great basses and not to be dismissed as an inferior Pro I, they are a distinct and different bass.

I never say 'never' BUT if it isn't something that really interests me the value would have to be such that I could sell it immediately, without hassle... in which case you'd likely get more selling it yourself. Message me and see, I can only give 1 of 2 answers.

Have they loaded OK? Nice 89Ltd in your profile pic!
