Here another great WAL Mk 1 Bass Guitar Model built in 1984, a handmade guitar from electric woods company put together from a great mixture of exotic woods including Indian mahogany core and American Walnut facings. Brazilian rosewood fretboard with dot markers. This is a cool looking bass and like most other WAL Basses it is a great player too.
