[quote name='littleal' post='1076958' date='Jan 4 2011, 01:20 AM']It's 1000 for a fretted 6 string neck too, I enquired with paul,[/quote]
I have also considered having Paul build me an additional fretted neck for my Wal six. It really is a point that fretless playing is for home or studio use mostly ...
I think 1000GBP for a fretted six string neck is adequate since most of the construction time goes into it. I think I remember reading on some Wal forum that Pete Stevens also mentioned that.
And there is the point of being able to swap necks without having to worry about playability and bridge setup because of that brilliant neck bolt construction of Wal basses. I once had a 1985 MKI marked fretless with ebony fingerboard and stumbled over a used fretted 1986 Wal MKI rosewood neck for silly money. I swapped the necks without any problems and had two basses in one with two different sound characters without having to adjust or change anything about the setup of the bass - incredible!
