gilmour Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 Why did I just read this thread I really want a Wal, but just can't justify the money when the instruments I have are serving me fine. But then, maybe just maybe if I concentrate really hard it is good value for money.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_b Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 A Mk1 4 string has just sold on EBay. The seller wanted £2000 but settled for £1800. Prices have levelled out in the last few years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blind pilot Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 This is truly the worst thread I have found on this site.................. There are some stunning Wals on here, and when you are wanting one as much as I am, this thread is 'real' bad place to be. I am still saving, but with my amp playing up, and another pay cut at work, they seem to be getting further from my reach one day.........................In the meantime, is there a way of stopping this thread being viewed for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nevertheless, the Wal six fretless has also returned to me after one year and it smmmmokes! Maybe I'm going to have to sell that wonderful LeFay Remington Steele 4 again, since I now have too many fretless basses - know the problem? tc Oliver Edited July 13, 2011 by spiritchaser Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGreek Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 [quote name='walbassist' post='255271' date='Aug 5 2008, 12:04 PM']You asked for it.... My Mk III was one of the last two basses Pete made. It was very special for a number of reasons, not least because I supplied the facings he used (picked up on a ski-ing holiday in Vermont). This is the only spalted maple Wal in the world. I also asked for a walnut core ( usually mahogany), and Pete gave the bass a double pinstripe veneer (usually only one). As this was going to be my ultimate Wal, I also had Pete make fretted and fretless necks (ebony boards, no dots, unlined fretless) for the bass, so I could swap them over as and when I fancied a change. I also asked him to put his fish signature on the back of the necks. Pete also bound the pickups with contrasting laminates. Again, a very unusual feature. Often the back of a Wal looks just as good as the front! And here it is, finished.... Enjoy![/quote] Nice!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
