Wal Bass Club.

I was once a victim of an ebay scam. I was advised to report it to the Australia cybercrimes unit. I did that and they passed it to local police where the seller was based. The police followed it up and I send them various pieces of evidence as requested. They eventually caught up with the guy and made him refund my money. The amount wasn't large, only $219. Maybe some people would not have bothered for that amount, but I didn't want the scammer to get away with it and I was glad to know that he was caught.

The procedure probably varies for different countries, but it may well be similar for the US or Germany or wherever. Anyway, it needs to be reported to the appropriate government organisation of the country where the scammer is located.

Now that BassPlayer magazine is being spearheaded from England - Wall basses are showing up within its pages played by various players. This month Justin Chancellor of Tool is on the cover holding his Wal bass along with 4 more pics inside.

Wow that is a lofty price for an MK1 no?

 

[ampegfuzz]

could always contact directly and work on the price

 

[mikeswals]

~6k for a MK1 has been a norm for a little while.
It would be way more if it was at Bass Direct.

I'd say it was the whole porch! Counting that 5-string, doesn't this makes six now?

 

[kulit17]

Yup!! 3703, 3075 (5er), 3059 (fitted with both fretted and fretless), 3062, 3006 and my old fretless honduras was 3282.

i doubt a 6er would pop us since it seems these guys are late 80's/now early 90's.....but never know i suppose

I would love to find another Pete era 6er. Especially one with Honduran facings.

Wow didn't realize that. I guess that is good news for my MK1s!

technically speaking.....Mk3 6er didn't come out until 95/96?? it seems all the honduran facings range from 88/89 actually.....so for the facings to be saved up until the 6er's came out i think would be pretty slim.

Hey, I was lucky to see Jonas Reingold playing with Steve Hackett, last night, in Boston, and he was playing a double-neck bass on bottom, 12 string on top, for the Genesis stuff. I could't make it out, but, dang, it looked like it had a Wal headstock on the bass. I couldn't get a picture. It didn't look like Jonas Hellborg's double Wal, the body coulda been Wal-ish, the pickups definitely weren't. But then again, Chris Squire's Wal triple-neck from 77 didn't really look like a Wal, either. Anyone know anything about this? Were there any other odd multi-neck Wals out there, besides Squire's?

 

[mikeswals]

Its a Hugh Manson double neck. Like what John Paul Jones has been playing for a while now.

 

[lordradish]

Thanks!

actually sorry. multitasking yesterday and just realized that the new one that popped up in reverb is a '92... so who knows...maybe a 6er will pop up one of these days lol

 

[Waler]

As far as Mk3 6ers are concerned I am curious to kow how many of them have ever been made? How many Mk3 6er players are in this forum? Maybe a Honduras is among them? I know of 15 including my 2 basses. I would estimate there are not more than 25 - 30 been made. If you got one a picture would be nice...
