  4. Shipping information Germany €95, EU €175, UK 275€ Item location 56281, Karbach, Germany Price 6950€ / 6100£ If you're reading this ad, you probably already know that Wal basses are legendary and need no introduction. If you're not yet familiar with the Wal brand, the simplest way to explain just how exceptional their basses are is to point out that they don't sponsor any artists. Despite this, they are used by many of the world's most famous artists, a testament to their outstanding tone and quality. These artists include: Paul McCartney, Geddy Lee (Rush), Sam Rivers (Limp Bizkit), Jeff Ament (Pearl Jam), Jonas Hellborg (Mahavishnu Orchestra), Michael Hogan (The Cranberries), Flea, and Percy Jones (Brand X). Mick Karn (Japan), Jose Villanueva, Sam Rivers, Jeff Ament (Pearl Jam), John Illsley (Dire Straits), Greg Lake (Emerson Lake and Palmer), Martin Kemp (Spandau Ballet), Mike Oldfield, Jason Newstead (Metallica), Colin Edwin (Porcupine Tree), Chris Squire (Yes), Bruce Thomas (Elvis Costello and the Attractions), Colin Moulding (XTC), Paul Simenon (The Clash), and the list goes on… This bass was made in 1992. It features a beautiful padauk veneer over a mahogany core and chrome hardware. Originally, this bass was fretted, but it has been professionally converted to a fretless bass with the installation of a new Indian rosewood fingerboard. This fingerboard was custom-made and includes an extension on the G and D strings to allow for a full two-octave range on those two strings. A brass nut has also been added. The rest of the bass is original and in perfect working order, including the hardware, electronics, and truss rod. The fretboard is in excellent condition, and the bass has just been set up with a brand new set of Ernie Ball strings. It weighs 4.5 kg. Although this bass is 33 years old, it is in excellent condition. It shows some minor signs of wear, as one would expect. However, I am confident that you will be hard-pressed to find another bass from this era in such good condition. I have taken care to provide photos from as many angles as possible so you can clearly see what you are buying. This sale includes the original Wal hardshell case. The case is functional and in very good condition. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask
  5. Shipping information Germany €45, EU €125, UK 175€ Item location 56281, Karbach, Germany Price Drop! 3450€ / 3000£ I'm selling this superb Pedulla MVP-4 Signature Bass with its original hardshell case. This cool bass was meticulously handcrafted in the USA in 1989 by master guitar maker Michael Pedulla. The bass is completely original and features custom Bartolini pickups paired with a Bartolini preamp. The bass's unique and elegant body shape provides excellent balance whether you're playing sitting or standing. At only 3.95 kg (7 lbs), the bass is very lightweight, allowing you to play comfortably even during long gigs without needing a chiropractor the next day. The sale includes the original Pedulla hardshell case. Please note that unlike newer Pedulla models, this one does not require any special tools for adjusting the truss rod. The truss rod can be adjusted with a simple flathead screwdriver. As many of you already know, Michael has retired, so Pedulla basses are no longer in production. This is a rare opportunity to acquire one of these incredible instruments while it's still possible. Although this bass is 36 years old, it has been treated with care and respect all these years. Aesthetically, it is in exceptionally good condition for its age, and technically everything works perfectly. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask...
  6. By "earache" do you mean "thoroughly deserved criticism of his pathetic "customer service" and "skills" as a "luthier""?
  7. That's right folks, just when you thought you had seen it all, I give you, not one, but two unbroken Just-A-Nut IIs! For the Warwick enthusiasts who think they have it all... 25GBP(each) including UK mainland shipping and they will ship from within the UK - I am located in Germany but these will be brough over to the UK at the start of April. For the faint of heart, keep your meds at hand because here they are...

  8. Vintage Schaller M4(180) machine heads, 12mm bore, 4 Left, black, NOS These are new old stock items still in the original packaging. I have only opened the packaging to take photos and confirm that all parts are present and correct. Please note that these are vintage 12mm diameter Schaller machine heads, NOT the current 14mm. 65GBP shipped within mainland UK.
  9. gorgeous and well crafted bass! Looks like exceptional value for money given the spec of the bass!
  10. HPW said mine was bubinga too until i asked him to look again. Afzelia Was the standard wood for Thumbs from this time...
  11. They are indeed! I love mine and as the seller states, the necks are so fast and easy to play. To me, the body looks like Afzelia which was used on almost all the early thumbs including both of my '87 JD Thumbs. Either way, killer bass and this one sure is a beauty!
  12. If it helps, I can source these Spector branded Gotoh tuners for you here in Germany - 50€ for the set:
  13. **price drop to 40GBP** Schaller vintage Chrome Machineheads / Tuner, 4-in-line (left) with screws. Operationally perfect - smooth and precise action as you would expect from high quality Schaller parts. Cosmetic condition is good - light pitting and scratches - not easy to see unless you catch it in the right light. Located in Germany but can be shipped from within the UK around the end of November.
  14. Unfortunately it doesnt have the trim pot on it. This helps you to dial in the pre-set mid range on the active pre. Still a great sounding pre without it though
  15. Would love a shot of the electronics cavity- depending on the pre amp Version this bass be the best Version
  16. Exactly this! Not to mention the Schaller tuners, brass JUST-A-NUT I and solid brass bridge. My 87 JD Thumb aint going nowhere!
  17. If you ignore the title of this thread, and one of the previous posts, then yes, i guess so...
  18. He owns a guitar so the disability is assumed!
  19. Last time i checked, you are only supposed to shim under the very end of neck, not the whole neck pocket!?!?
  20. Is that my old bass? If, it is truly a killer!
  21. Ich weiß genauso wie das ist! Ich wohne in Deutschland seit 4 Jahre und überlege noch, wie kann man diese sprache lernen??? Herzlich Wilkommen bei Basschat Ghostwheel! VG auch aus der Rhein
  22. Beautiful bass. Cant beat Bubinga body and a Wenge neck!
  23. Best option is to fly over to Frankfurt Main or Hahn and collect in person. Return Ticket is probably the same as the shipping costs with insurance alone.... I willbe visiting in the UK at Christmas time so any interested parties let me know and Ican easily bring it with me...
  24. Stone cold bargain! This is the same bass that Chris Wolstenholme from Muse used live and in the Studio!
