These modern Wal's are just so incredible in every sense. That top as I have said a number of times is just out of this world but the overall bass is just flawless. My day is coming soon. What a day it will be. Congrats mate!

Dang!! that is pretty!!

So glad everything worked out for you and you realized a dream to come true!! Excellent!

Got to babysit a fretless Wal Corvette Standard over the lockdown for almost two years, and even that affordable axe played like a dream!! Really nice basses!!

ENJOY!!

If you don't mind me asking, about what were these running back then? I imagine prices went up considerably since then. You made a wise decision to pull the trigger.

Well worth the wait. Now, enjoy!

That thing is beautiful! I've never touched or even heard one. What are they like? Well played.

Back in 2020 the MK3 four string started at £6350, and this included Walnut or Wenge facings, satin finish, chrome hardware, and Rosewood board. Everything else is an upgrade.

this makes me psyched to go see Tool soon, I got tix!

OP, do you still have the black Wal?

Yes it such a great bass as of right now not planning on parting with it.

That quilted maple looks so dang good... you’ve got me dying with anticipation for my mk3 which should be done next year! Congrats brother and can’t wait to officially join you as a member of the Wal club.

I promise the time will fly until the Wal is shipped and being held in customs. Then you revert back into a child having a tantrum I WANT MY DAMN WAL!!!

 

[FeltTipPen]

Incredible looking bass and from what I've read that sounds like a good weight too!

Congrats!
