Hi Guys!! So sorry to take... like 2 years to reply??!! What the hell happened to the world??!! Well... We kind of know... and its not looking much better after the latest little adventure in Ukraine!! Anyway!!! Thanks so much for the info my bass (which I still have!) I have finally got round to doing a little more digging on the origins of my bass... and aside from the info here, all I found was a post by TrevorR on talk bass saying: "Since Clear Air Turbulence was recorded in the summer of 1976 it’s debatable whether JG would have had his W1112 bass in time - it may have been recorded on the customised P Bass that Ian Waller built him with a pickup that Ian hand wound himself (which is also responsible for one of my all time fave bass lines - Roxy Music’s Love Is The Drug). But Scarabus and Live at the Budokhan certainly were his JGs." here: https://www.talkbass.com/threads/ive-decided-to-buy-a-wal.1463856/page-12#post-24397517 So whether this bass originally belonged to Johnny Gus I have no idea... But there won't be any other Wals with the same serial No.(unless there are!!) SO I am guessing it may be. I never got to the FB forum... But I will check it out now. BTW It came with the Brown outer / gold inner lining classic Wal case which I still have. Thanks so much for your replies - and apologies for my insanely late reply - its been a bit of a mad time for us the last 2 years - as for many I am sure. Gavin.

Greetings guys Can you help!! I own a Wal Pro 2 active fretless - bought it 2nd hand in a music shop in Fulham, London for £350 in '83 (my how time flies!!!) it is a beauty, original signature brown ' gold fur case with leather handle. all intact, had to get one of the pots rebuilt, but serviced etc and sounds like a dream - not selling!! I have had a lot of trouble identifying / valuing this bass!!The serial number is W1112. It has the pick attack switches under the pickups, and the XLR balanced out. any ideas - from my search the serial number implies it may be a bit special / early model... or? Thanks in advance!! Gavin.
