Now that's great news indeed!

Hey, Oliver, where are you located? Somewhere close to me (Karlsruhe)? I´d love to check some other Walbasses :-)

Hi Jens,
I'm in Essen, NRW. Should take you some time to get here

That's right - I got it and it's a real Killer!
Hi there WombatBOTER (see, I'm still able to learn ), cheers again for the great day at your place! I just say funky fingers ... Couldn't help but attaching a picture ...
In the meantime I've purchased an E-MU Proteus 2000 and now the WAL has become a real orchestra. There really are limitless possibilities, and even without the MIDI this one sounds (and looks) awsome - a great player. Two miliseconds of MIDI latency - two miliseconds! If you're into the MIDI WAL world check out this great player I found on the www by chance:

I know that only about 100 of these killer basses were built by Pete, so the search will be a tough (and an expensive) one.
Best of luck to you!
Cheers Oliver

I got the price back which I paid for it so I didn't want to make any profit also..
Sorry that you didn't get it..[/quote]

[quote name='spiritchaser' post='231269' date='Jul 2 2008, 01:55 PM']Hi all,
It's still available: just got a 1982 fretted neck for my lined fretless 1985 MK I and it fits like a glove.
Since I already have a great fretless tone with my Hybrid-WAL and its 1979 pro I fretless neck, I'm selling my spare, original lined-fretless neck with chrome Schaller tuners (but without the string-retainers, for I need them now for the fretted neck), signed by Pete himself in October 1985.
I'm asking 400 English pounds or 520 Euro plus shipping which I reckon a reasonable price for an almost unplayed WAL-neck in showroom condition which would cost 600 English pounds new.
A great opportunity for the "swapping studio bass-player".
I'm in Germany, international shipping is welcome, but there may be additional customs duties to be payed. Anyone interested?

I already posted it on the walbassesnaturally forum, but since last Thursday I have been having problems with posting at all there - the Yahoo customer service is still trying to fix it. [/quote]

It's still available!

WAL basses - either my MK I 1985, my MK II fiver 1987, or my customized fretless hybrid-WAL with the 1979 neck. Sometimes, for some rough tunes, I use my customized 1997 Stingray.
Incredible tonal spectrum.

These WALs are plain killer basses.
My MK I is a lined fretless and there is a custom made with buckeyed burl tops I made myself with the help of my wife and a German master bass luthier.
Enjoy them!
Oliver

Here are mine:
