I bugged the owner / store today.

That price is way too high for a 5.

-Chris

For a standard shedua 89 with a couple finish cracks and a bit of wear all around it, prob about $1500-2000 to high IMO..... oh well, guess the fretless Wal on reverb needed a buddy to hang around with coz I don't see either of those moving at those prices :roflmao:

I think they are both banking on the fact that not many folks will wanna pay $9k+ for a new one with the wait. Someone will buy em

Hahaha........nice man. Too funny!
I caught the finish cracks on the back of the head stock.

I wonder what Howard got for his Fretless MK2 with the LED's he had listed on here in the Classifieds for $6500.
That hung around for a while too.

Yeah I must admit, i've had my fair share of "gotta have it" moments.

It was not an mk2 and a fellow Wal club member picked it up.

 
Ah, you're right......it was an MK3. I missed the 5 bolt neck.
I just kept seeing those mini pictures and couldn't see the sculpted body either.
Cool. I bet it hung around because it was fretless though.
Fretless basses take much longer to sell........and fretless Wal's are just about the best you can get.
That's why I still have mine. My Ken Lawrence Chamber Bass was the closest one to beat it......and Mitch Starkman's F-Bass AC5 was just slightly behind the Chamber Bass. The Wal still one. :)
