Yeah I have just taken in 2 Wal basses as a trade ( 82 & 83), both beautiful and ultimately for sale as thats what I do. Having played them both they are amazing and I see what people mean about their sound. But to the normal person it's just a bass, don't suppose it matters the flavour. To others its a must have bucket list bass. Horses for courses. I know the guys at Bassbros had one in just sold at £8k I believe.
