Replaced Hipshots w/ Chrome Satin until originals come back. "Worlds Gnarliest Wal Pups Award" probably goes to me. Two decades of fingers hitting the same spots.

Btw, what type of satin finish should I use to touch up belt buckle/worn spots?

Yours is nothin'! There is a woman named Maitri from Christian Death and she has worn holes thru the facings of her Mk1.

Here is the back of the Wal. I dont see any distress or relicing.....possibly a hairline crack though

Bet. Beat me on wood for sure. But she got nothin on my pups

She could use more midrange bump

Pay attention to hairline cracks! Seen too many good friends ruined by hairline cracks that get out-of-control.

 

[mikeswals]

it's expensive having Wals as it is

It’s the ones closest to the G string that have the greatest potential for disaster.

View attachment 3366560 I prefer my black MK1 with chrome

What's the finish on the left one? Seems black with a strange sunburst in the middle? Do you have some close ups? Is it original or a refin? I like that one.

 

[ampegfuzz]

Its the original finish and its the wood top with poly over. The pic is what i playfully refer to as the "Iowa Trifecta" myself and two good friends all own a wal. Mine is the black one. I believe it’s a shedua top.

 

[Les Fret]

ok thanks. Never saw one with that top before. Looks a bit strange with the asymmetrical light shade in the middle. But I love it anyway.

its not shedua, its ash. Most re-issue Pro's with the tear drop electronics plate were made with ash. going by the center figuring, looks to be ash.

Man! another one that sold in about 18 hours!

I can’t believe the amount of Wals for sale lately. I feel like I’ve seen more in the last couple months than I have in the last couple years

 

[mikeswals]

It ran dry for a bit,then a few, then dry again, then a batch popped up... but more of the same, Mk1's and Fivers.
Still only a couple Mk2 4's and mk3 4's per year.

Then there is that Double neck available in Germany (serious offers only).

Ugh, tell me about it. The 4 stringer Mk2 and MK3s are not so common. I was originally looking for a trade for my fiver and at this point I may just buy the next one that pops up so I don’t miss it haha.

just remember, the next ones that pop up, you'll probably have less than 24 hours to decide - so don't hesitate
