Hi all Just joined the group... I'm from the old school with lots of experiences under my strings, (HAT) I owed a Pro.IIe and used it for 8 years until it was...
I'd be happy to give it a good home next to my Pro2e. If you scan some messages and watch eBay for a while you'll get an idea on current prices. You may want...
Hey John, don't forget to give me a ring to check it out once it's here in the country! Dave ... strings, (HAT) ... in it's case in my loft. It's still...
OK, so after waiting 15 years and getting outbid a couple of times on eBay, with a little patients I now own my very own Wal Mach 1. A local gentleman here in...
shaving down a Wal neck...thats why cross bows were invented. Its not the wood on the back of the neck that slows you down its the player's ability. My guess...
Well, it's not like the neck is that thin. To me, it's as thick or thicker than my Spector bass neck. If he hadn't mentioned that the neck was shaved, I...
Yes I didnt think he made this till then they were actually referred to as the Pro90 somewhere - can anyone tell me what they sound like - is it just like a...
... They definitely existed in the mid eighties, there are pictures of other examples of that vintage in the photos section of this group. There has also been...
... other examples of that ... times and it might be ... former owner had ... It should be reasonably ... I haven't checked the database bass but according to...
I thought these came out in the 1980's. On my work PC, I have a picture of John Taylor from Duran playing one for the "Don't You Know It's Christmas" video. Or...
... Well, with the current example for sale being labelled as 1984, an example from 1985 in the 'ProI Basses' photo album and W3332 from 1989 in the Wal basses...
Yeah, there were a number built in 1990 as a special order for a music shop but it does seem that there were some earlier ones too - early 80s vintage. The...
Nah, it's a Mk 1 Custom series in the Band Aid video. Apparently it was given as a gift/contribution to the cause to Midge and Bob by Ian and Pete. Midge...
That's good news - my understanding was that that bass was always donated to Band Aid specifically to raise money for the charity and not "given" to any one...
I think there was a recent article on the 'Band Aid Wal' in 'Bass Guitar' magazine Keith ... Win a BlackBerry device from O2 with Yahoo!. Enter now. [Non-text...
So the black & gold MkII fetched $6900. Is this a record I wonder? Nice-looking bass but that's a stupendous amount of moolah for a poly-finish Custom - even...
I'm totally shocked! The maple was a beautiful bass and turns out it was also a steal of a deal price. I'm happy that my 3 wals have just increased in value...
shocker indeed ... what's more is that there were no less than 4 people bidding in the 6.000$ league ... "a stupendous amount of moolah" moolah is new to me,...
Why do we only ever see perfect examples omn the market?, am I only person out there with a tatty Wal (all my own doing). I find it hard to believe that we...
Good point. Both my Wal 4's have some cosmetic damge to the body but nothing that effects the sound. The "$7000 Wal" seemed to be in perfect condition from the...
... +1 (or 2, if you count both basses - but I admit the fretless has been gigged a lot less and babied a lot more than the fretted - but yea, they were bought...
Hi all My old WAL was used and fell off it's stand many times, (the cruise ship I worked on rolled and pitched). It's all about the sound and it never lost any...
$6,900 is getting into straight-jacket terrtory. I have been around people with that knd of extra disposable cash all my life, they tend to have a lot of nice...
Likewise my old girl (2400), bumped and bashed and inundated with custard pie foam for about 5 years in a night club residency. Certainly not an 'investment...
Well, I like the fact that mine has a nik here, there, over here, one on the back, etc. I love it, but I like the fact that it absolves me from being...
to me the fretless wal sound is the magic, then the fretted ProIIe series and finally a fretted custom. instruments should be played but not abused, like you...
