wombatboter Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 Less than a year ago I had five Wal basses but I found that a bit too much... I sold a couple of them and now I have a fretless and two fretted Wal basses. This blue one I bought in December 2008 from Pete Collins and it is a great bass with a nice blue finish. I don't play it as much as my shedua so it is a pity that it is not played enough though there's nothing wrong with it, I just like the looks of the shedua more. I don't want to be a collector so I'm selling the blue one with a non original case. Serial number 2623 which situates it around 1985, olive facings.. It is in excellent condition, sounds really great from a funky slap to a nice jaco tone or a deep sub-bass. Looking for 2600 euros, it can be collected at my place (I live near Brussels so there's the Eurostar) or it can be send though I prefer a pick-up. Always ready for more pictures or any questions. I'm sorry but I'm not really looking for trades either.. Thanks Geert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ednaplate Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Scottsdale..? I went to a bar called Jetz or Jets there a few years ago. Beautiful waitresses on roller skates tending to my every need. Is it still there. I go to Phoenix every couple of years but didn't venture to Scottsdale last time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's identical to Rory Macdonald's Wal, and I've never known which exact model it was.... Anyway, sorry for the partial hijack, sweet looking bass, wish I could afford it!

Higgie Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 That looks similar to the one my dad had made a few years ago, except his was Mk II and had an ebony fingerboard and matching headstock. Absolutely beautiful bass mate, and if I could afford it I would buy it!! Good luck with the sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wombatboter Posted May 7, 2009 Author Share Posted May 7, 2009 Thank you ! I was just watching the bass when I was walking through my living room and it looks just great. Weird but it wouldn't be unbearable if it wouldn't get sold ..:-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We didn't talk, but I remembered hearing a US accent and when I saw your location thought it must have been you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately no Wal for me - the necks don't do it for me, but I am currently seriously tempted by a Ritter Bump for a cool bass. I have loved the sounds available out of the Wal's I have played.
