I do wonder how much it weighs, and are both basses 'on' all the time?

17.5 lb

Lovely 

Obviously having only one pickup you haven’t quite got the tonal variation but the position has been moved slightly towards the neck, so it sounds awesome. Plays lovely if a little heavy. If I had had it made I’d have put the fretless on top.

The guy that had it made ordered it semi chambered to keep the weight down. Although it looks like any other Wal apparently it’s not solid mahogany core.

One of the knobs is volume one for each pickup. The fourth is blend between necks so you can have both necks on but you wouldn’t be able to control any feedback from the second neck. You just wind it one way or the other. To be honest would be easier with a switch.

Now the proud owner of this beauty. It sounds terrific even though it only has one pick up. Not for the faint hearted gigging wise.

Not for the faint hearted. Sounds stunning though even with single pick ups.

According to the Wal Facebook forum one of the necks isn’t real.?? Just saying.

Beware it’s a scam . The 5 string on eBay is using somebody else’s picture 

I have one of these . Superb bass easy to play great sound . Moved the strap to stop neck dive.

The volume on my reidmar has started fading in and out ,does anyone know someone local who could fix it ?  Many thanks.

That's stunning if only you were closer.

Top seller , good communication, well packed . A pleasure to do business with. Thanks

Tried the Jazz and precision last week both stunning for the money seriously tempted

Sorry to the UK

How much would shipping be please

Where are you based ?

Supported Krokus back in the 80s .when we went on our back line had the plugs pulled by there roadies. Our road crew had to stand guard over them with some Hammond C3 legs we carried as clubs. Welcome to the business,

Has it gone?

Very interested in this can I come and have a look

1985 Wal hanging on the wall ,does that count. Also two 75 precisions one of which I bought new. Cant get rid we've been thru too much together. Gigging a 62 reissue jazz at the moment so it don't matter if it gets dinged.
