Hello Wal friends I saw Carter Vintage Guitars in Nashville posted a used Wal if anyone is interested. Not sure why they listed as a MK2.

I stumbled across this video last night and got sucked in. The video quality kind of sucks but the audio is pretty good, and there are some JUICY Wal moments.
Word on the street is, it sold quick. Anyone here in TB world snag it?
I contacted them about it 3 hours after it was posted here, but it had already been sold.
Are those the actual pieces of wood that Paul used? Sure looks like it. Gorgeous
Extra long scale?
Nice - looks like a rare "live edge" model!
Aaah, the Mark Zero Series Wal Bass... beautiful tone and woods but the finishing and ergonomics of the Mk 0 aren’t a patch on the Mk 3. They’re often even heavier than a Mk 2 and can suffer from some neck dive.
Seriously though. Paul just sent me a pic of the completed body and neck both ready for paint. I'm not one that wanted progress pics, rather just a 'show me when its done' kinda guy. But I imangine he sent me the pic to see how I liked the headstock cap to match the body of the chosen ash.
Going to look great. Yew is such a beautiful and characterful, yet subtle, wood when varnished!

Struggling with the decision to sell my MKI and try to get a MKII. I love my MKI but think the MKII would be a better fit for me. Dont think I would order a brand new one, so I would need to go used which is like playing wack-a-mole. It would stink if it took a while after selling mine to find one.
It would totally be like whack a mole. How many 4 string Mk2's have come up over the last two years? ...three?
Yeah, been there done that, but luckily I came out with a 4 string Mk2 since around the start of last year. I hadn't appreciated it until it had been pointed out just now by Caca de Kick, that there hadn't been that many 4 string Mk2s for sale over the past couple of years. I had seen quite a few Mk1s and the odd Mk3 here and there, but almost no 4 string Mk2s. I haven't played a Mk1 or Mk3, but i do see the magic of a Mk2, at least with the one i own
You might want to add the Mk3 to your list, it's a wonderful bass and my favorite of the 3 models. They aren't more common than the Mk2 but it might increase your chances.
Absolutely. I dont see too many 3s pop up either but i would definitely take one if i had the chance
