Stacker Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 (edited) This bass belongs to a Scottish pro musician and he's asked me to act as an itermediary in the forthcoming sale of his late '80s Wal Custom. AFAIK. it's a shedua-faced bass and is around 9/10 condition, only being used for one tour before being superceded by Stringrays. There may also be the Wal moulded case but the existence of this and verification of the bass' attributes will be made when I see it next week. I don't really want to put this anywhere near ebay if I have to so it'll go on bass and Wal fora for now. I'm abroad all next week and will bring the bass back with me and then I'll post some pix. Any Qs, anyone interested, or knows anyone who may be, drop me a PM. Edited May 13, 2010 by Stacker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassman Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 Hello, don't forget to place the price and minimum one pics. Due to the new rules on marketplace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stacker Posted May 6, 2010 Author Share Posted May 6, 2010 I'm sure he'll be looking for a minimum of £2.4K. If that seems unreasonable - and I don't think it is - have a look at the new price list. Pix will follow next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barend Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 Yesterday did a rehearsal with it and today a gig. And I like it. At last I have a Wal MK1! (again) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty Soul Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 (edited) damn these basses sell quick! Must be the only basses on this forum to sell without pics Starting to think i'll never get one of these bad boys.... Anyway, congratulations on the purchase barend. EDIT: oh, there's a pic now! i'm sure there wasn't when I looked.. Edited May 14, 2010 by Dirty Soul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassatnight Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 East Lothian the locale....? This is not Derek Forbes's old Mk 1 is it? ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stacker Posted May 14, 2010 Author Share Posted May 14, 2010 No, not Deek's old bass. I think Barend was destined to have a Mk1 back in his hands. It's always the case when you let something go that you shouldn't have and you hunt high and low to get them back again. Nice meet another Basschatter in the flesh, too.

barend Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 Nice to meet you too! To clarify: it was not sold unseen. I had seen some pictures of it and also played on the bass before I made up my decision. I was looking for a Wal MK1 for some time now after I sold mine a year ago which I regretted. But still this one sounds and feels slightly better then the one I had although it is not a huge difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
