basstrappist Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 (edited) [u]Now Sold[/u] Wal Mk1 Fretless, December 1986 W2834. Mahogany core African Wenge facings. Excellent condition a few dings on the mahogany core and top of headstock, I've highlighted these in the photos. Neck is pristine, no cracks in varnish around the tuners. Carl signed this one off. I'm the second owner, bought it from a friend, acquiring it around 1987, it has had minimal use if I'm honest. I might be tempted by a Mk2/Mk3 fretless 5 string if there's anyone out there with one they might want to trade. I have a Hiscox ([i]Wal unbranded[/i]) case available which it can be shipped in if required included in the price. This is my first listing/posting on BC, but I'm a confirmed Wal person owning 2 others a Mk1 fretted 4 string (Same finish as the fretless) and a Mk 2 5 string.

sbrag Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Lush. If only it had frets and i had 3 1/2 grand! Glwts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philw Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Interesting that it has a rosewood fingerboard. Unusual on a fretless Wal (there's also not many wedge faced fretless Wals). Lovely bass anyway, GLWTS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philw Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 It does specify rosewood on the masking tape though. I guess it's one of the traditional Wal, "terminological inexactitudes". P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basstrappist Posted September 2, 2016 Author Share Posted September 2, 2016 I will check this and report back however for now lets call it an unspecified material with no frets in it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basstrappist Posted September 9, 2016 Author Share Posted September 9, 2016 (edited) Due to server malfunctions the advert for my Wal keeps vanishing, I'm hoping with moderator Chris' help I can get it up and running again.
