Wal Bass Club.

Hi Guys,

I´ve just discovered who is Bass 42 in the real life!

All I can say is he´s one the best musicians I know. A hell of a bass player in one the the biggest bands in Brazil. I´m a huge fan.

Congrats man.

When I collected my MK III last year, Paul told me about you and asked me if I knew you...

Guess we are the only Wallers in Brazil!

You´ve got a beautiful Wal family!

Here´s a pic of my MK III ´12 in a small gig with my Rush tribute band in Sao Paulo (stageleftband.com)

Best

Marcos

Thanks for the words Marco ! Where are you located ? Nice Wal on pic !

Awesome action shots guys with your Wals, i'm afraid i just got my one lousy back yard bbq jam shot last year in my profile not worth posting up on the thread. :hiding:

btw Caca, why is your drummer giving a molesting look to his drums? :eyebrow: lol j/k the face he's giving reminds me of the old guy in "the family guy" (not really a watcher but tend to catch glimpse when the sibs watch it)

haha. I spit coffee. cool action photos mr. Caca.
 
This is a Jota Quest's 2008 recorded with my MK II Trans Red :



I just tried to upload more WAL sound I'd recorded, But Jota Quest (my band) is a SONY MUSIC Artist, this way I 'd no permission from SoundCloud due copy rights ! It's Crazy !

Hello WALers- been wanting a Wal for many, many years now and finally in the market for a used one. I've been in contact with this seller but he has been very unresponsive to my questions about the bass (history, serial number, more pics etc.) although we worked out a price. Any of you TBers know this bass or this seller?

Link Removed

Looks like a beaut- but any info would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

This in itself is a BIG red flag. The fact that you put Very before unresponsive makes it even worse

Have seen this bass for sale at least 2 times (possibly 3) using the same pics as this ad. It's possible it has changed hands since the first ad but I can't say for sure.

I would be asking for new and VERY specific shots of your choice with NO exceptions. First word of excuses....run

I had a guy who came up with every excuse in the book and when it boiled down to..."I'm having problems with my camera"...I said go to Target...buy a brand new 12 megapixel camera for $80 you cheap p#%€k....(I didn't include the expletives in my request lol)

If someone is trying to sell a 4k+ item they better do a lot more than post old crappy pics!
 
Haha! Thanks for your response- yeah I'm definitely feeling those vibes for this seller... Only saving grace is he did offer to arrange a pick up or meet halfway but I guess ill have to make an ultimatum on pics to see if its legit. He's the type after a paragraph of questions I get a one sentence response with "contact u wen i gt hme", which then never happens lol!

Oh well, if it doesn't work out I'm really hoping to get a 4 string MKII anyways but those seem to be harder to come by on the used market.
