Clarky Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 (edited) One pickup version (bridge) but I bet it doesn't hang around https://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/Wal_MKII_4_Fretless.html Edited December 17, 2021 by Clarky 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
franzbassist Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 (edited) Incredibly rare model. I had the same configuration in both Mk I and Pro basses but have never seen a Mk II version. Not a bad weight, and subtle lines with dots on the "fret" too - best of both worlds? Edited December 17, 2021 by franzbassist 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellzero Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 Lovely ! And not (that) overpriced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodwind Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 That's great. I love the look of the one pick-up Wals. I missed the posting before it went in hold. what was it priced at? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarky Posted December 19, 2021 Author Share Posted December 19, 2021 £4500, if memory serves me correctly (yes, its only a couple of days but festive alcohol was consumed last night!) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Clarky. Considering that's being purchased from a shop that doesn't sound too bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
franzbassist Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 Yes it was £4.5k… Clarky’s brain isn’t pickled yet! 🤣 I think the unusual configuration kept the price down. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piers_Williamson Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 It's pretty unusual for a bass to still be being discussed after it has been sold, albeit a few here sound they think it was a (£4.5k) bargain. Does anyone know what the most talked about (post-sale) bass has been (and, as a leftie, please don't talk about Macca's Yamaha!)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weepaul Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 (edited) Found a Wal here, https://bassbros.co.uk/product/1983-wal-pro/ Edited December 19, 2021 by weepaul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had one for a while. Passive single pickup basses that still sound fab. Edited December 19, 2021 by franzbassist 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itu Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 Hey, the bass is sold. @ped please, lock this thread. (Where's my coat...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddsparx Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 Aww heck. And I had just put some clean knickers on too. Damn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris2112 Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 When the pickup is by the bridge, I can make do...! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickA Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 Bargain of sorts. Bloke in the states just coughed up $11900, plus import duty, for a MK2 off ebay Madness. One pickup is likely all you need for the classic Wal sound, but I use the neck pickup more and more on mine. The subject of this thread is also weird in that it's solid walnut, not the usual mahogany plus fancy face wood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
