I do love that bass...
I'm slowly trying to convert every 4 string Wal player into becoming 5 string Wal players.

Having gigged my Mk1 a bit now I am thinking that a nice lightweight Mk3 5 string would be an even-more-beautiful thing. Oh-oh...
So it begins...LOL!
In all honesty, why there aren’t as many or more 5ers out there confuses me!

It worked on me!
Those block inlays are precious. I can't wait for my next Wal!
I played a Mk2 5 string once and didn’t like it at the time (even though I was playing other 5 strings). But things change. And the Mk3 is sleek.
Its a slippery slope! Do it!
Why not? I did that to Paul on my first order. I originally ordered a 4 string, then my long time band fell apart a few months later. Then found myself in a completely different gig so I changed my build to a 5 string.

Love the Mesa 115s!
The Walkabout is a great amp too!
I love my Bergantino NV115s!
I'm usually not as drawn to "painted basses", but that white body with black headstock looks downright SEXY...
The “rebuild post on the Luthiers’ Corner of Basschat is complete. For those who don’t recall, one of the members had managed to acquire a Pro 1E scratch plate/electronics and a fretless neck with a dodgy fretboard. Andy, one of the amateur makers over there made him a new body a d changed the fretboard. Turned out really nice.
Finished! A Very Special Save
PS the body neck socket makes it really clear that the body is non-original (in case anyone is concerned!).

So you're the guy with that handsome purple mk3 that always catches my eye when I'm on the website. Beautiful bass
Love the big Mesa cabs
Glare of the lighting. Here's what she really looks like.

Model spec/fingerboard isn't set in stone until the second payment due right before the neck is processed. I believe it's around the one year mark. Whole spec isn't set in stone though.....if you spec a 5 string mk3 - that is set in stone, but things like facing, hardware, finish, etc. Aren't set in stone till much later.....but changes do delay the overall process.

Excellent deal...probably costs the extra for that Certificate of Authenticity.
