I’d agree with that. Added to which is the near certainty that however much you spend on a Wal, you’ll make money when re-selling it (much less likely with an ACG/ Fodera/ Alembic), it’s an ‘80’s era Wal - which does add kudos, and if it’s the one I’m thinking of then with those facings it’s unique.   Probably a realistic price, currently.

Now I'm curious.....do tell

A great foray into the world of P, good price- it shouldn’t be here long, glwts

Ooooof, my Big Al 5 has started trembling in its boots at the thought of getting sold for that beauty, best of luck

I have one and I'd never sell it. Unique and incredibly well made. 

and the B string on the 5 is most excellent

Yep agreed - that’s really nice and especially the neck. I think I know who owns (or used to own that). There’s quite a following for Big Als so I would imagine it would sell quite quickly. As for the one at Bass Direct, I’m surprised it was so cheap - was it an SSS though (seems to be the most sought after version) - or maybe Bass Direct weren’t aware of the volume of people looking for them (in the US often though). 
 

One thing which never ceases to amaze me is the number of people who are willing to take the trouble to log in on forums and post totally negative views on a thread (fugly etc etc). To the extent we get more fugly comments than anything else - I’m not sure how helpful those comments are - seems a bit like pi**ing in the wind to me as the people who like the instrument will just think they’re rather silly!! 
 

I often feel people’s love for certain 50s/60s designed and rather average instruments is odd (I’m thinking, from memory any electrical device from 1960 came with built in hum and other negatives but no-one would dream of using them instead of properly engineered modern stuff using a range of elements invented in the last 50+ years nowadays, certainly on a day to day basis) but mediocre instruments containing the same - well some musicians seem to absolutely love em  - such instruments are also fugly in some cases (IMHO) - however I’m really not inclined to log in and tell everyone - like most people, I just walk past what I’m not interested in!!  

It was an SSS and now belongs to me, it is definitely marmite to some people but I love it, have always wanted to try one and there was a black one that was for sale on FB recently also so they are still out there..I may look out for a 4 string now as well

kin hell, pass me my kilt

Obviously it looks great, glwts

Back up for sale you lucky so and so's

A couple of early Classics:

 

In October 2009, EBMM introduced the new Classic Series at Bass Player Live. Five instruments were on display, finished in Surf Green, Shell Pink, Sonic Blue, Trans White and Fiesta Red.

Here are two from that first edition:

B050501 (Surf Green) and B050505 (Fiesta Red)

For the regular production run, the colours were renamed Mint Green and Coral Red.

[Nice weight on the Surf Green - 8.9 lbs.]

 

 

 

 

 

stunners, I've got a mint green Ray - would have killed to have that neck on it..wow

Provisionally on hold

and open to offers, thanks
