picture above is the second release of the Pro basses with the tear drop control plate:

http://walbasshistory.blogspot.com/p/a-minor-diversion.html

these ones were made with one pickup; either in the neck position or bridge.

the only pickup position for the original Pro I or Ie were the neck position since Wal only had one control plate for both Pro I or Ie....

so just to comment, the one you own is an original Pro I, so where the pickup is now IS the original pickup position.

Thank you for the info. Really appreciate the history😃

Is the second cavity in the Wal bridge pickup position?

The 'second' cavity appears to be the original pick-up position - see image below for early Pro 1 fretless. The second cavity is now where the later models have the pick-up or when the bass has two pick-ups fitted. II guess an ideal solution would be to return the pick-up to its original position and find a replacement scratchplate...easier said than done!!

A piece of history 😀 This is a Wal Pro 1 lined fretless 4 string. With the launch of the Pro bass, at the end of 1977, early 1978, Electric Wood, the company that became Wal, started officially. This bass is from 1978 - based on the serial number and verified by the Wal database. 

The bass features the famous single Wal pick-up and a small switch that provides a series/parallel mode. The simple volume and tone control give you precisely what you need with no frills! The only modification made, very early on apparently, was the addition of a second pick-up cavity, which allows the pick-up to be relocated - no change to the wiring as the pick-up is attached to a pcb. 

The bass is in great condition for a 40 year old! There is very little marking on the fretboard, but the body does show a few signs of wear...don't we all!! The blanking plate for the second cavity is looking tired and, if I were to keep it, I'd change the plate.

The bass comes with a brand new Thomann ABS hard case.

I'm asking £1950, which I think is a fair price considering the few marks and the modification.

Finally, after putting the Pedulla up for sale a couple of years ago...

Here, again, is my 1989 Pedulla MVP 5 in a cherry sunburst. It is in amazing condition for its age with only a very tiny chip on the back of the headstock, and a couple of tiny marks below the neck pick-ups. All difficult to see unless very, very close! )

"All Pedulla instruments are proudly handcrafted in the U.S.A. using the finest woods, electronics, hardware, and building techniques.  We do not offer (nor have we ever offered) any “import” models. Each and every Pedulla bass is made here in our shop in Massachusetts by me, Michael Pedulla."

Based on the unique design that first brought M.V. Pedulla to prominence, the MVP 5-string bass combines hard-hitting tone with player-friendly ergonomics, making them favorite basses for the stage and studio alike. The MVP is a fretted bass guitar featuring neck-through body construction for superb sustain and tone, plus a sleek and facile neck shape, ebony fingerboard, and a beautifully sculpted flamed maple body. The ergonomic design includes a deep cutaway on the treble side for easy access to all 24 frets, and an extended bass-side horn that provides a perfect balance point when a strap is used.

A three-piece laminated maple neck passes through the entire length of the body, providing maximum focus and sustain. In addition, a double-acting truss rod and two steel stiffening bars in the neck reinforce and maintain stability. The 24-fret ebony fingerboard is inlaid with 5mm pearl dots, and its hardness resists wear and contributes to the MVP's distinctive tone and sustain.

I received this in a part-ex deal recently. It's a lovely amp, loads of power and that unmistakeable Markbass sound. I have no need of another amp head so...

The Head is in overall good condition but, as shown, there are some very light scratches on the top and bottom, which obviously do not affect the sound etc

sorry to hear of your misfortune. that is a stunning bass, GLWTS!

 

Thanks, it is a stunning bass both in looks and sound! 

After being ripped off by builders, it is with huge regret, that I'm having to put this brand new Merlos Custom 5 up for sale. The normal retail price on this would be just north of £3000, but I got a little bit of a deal (not that much!!) so I can make this affordable. I might be up for a trade - 4 or 5 string - providing I can sell my Chapman Stick, which is also up for grabs. 

Looking for £1900 (never played) or trade to the value of £2200.

I'm considering selling/trading my Chapman Stick. It's the 10 string version, Ironwood, stereo pick-up module. The Stick comes with an official Stick Hard Case, Stick padded gig bag, two straps, Stereo cable, Knee rest, Spare strings, tools, Stickology Book and Free Hands DVD. The Stick sounds wonderful and does everything a Stick should do 

Looking for £1500 plus shipping. Might consider trades or part-ex plus cash. 

And, the final series of pictures prior to packing and winging its way to me!!
