SOLD Pending - Wal Fretless Mach II (2002)

[lozbass]

For sale, Wal fretless - Oct 2002 build. Walnut facings and ebony unlined board. Supplied in Hiscox case (a very snug fit).

This bass will easily pass for new. The only marks are a tiny (2mm?) scrape on the bridge - I can probably fix invisibly, and two tiny (1-2mm) scratches on the plastic control plate on the back. The scratches were are inconsequential and were caused when I tried to remove a fused machine screw. The screw and retainer were replaced by Martin at the Gallery when the bass was set up (beautifully) around 3 weeks ago.

I have around £2500 in this bass and that's what I'm looking at as a firm price.

I want to avoid hyperbole but this bass is simply stunning and one of the finest examples of its type. The facings are beautifully figured as is the flame maple neck. I'm only selling as I play short-scales almost exclusively and the Wal is redundant.

Collection in central Manchester or shipping to the UK, US or Europe (at cost). I'll try to answer any questions rapidly but I'm very pushed for time. The bass is unlikely to appear here for long - lack of time implies a fairly imminent consignment sale.

Very nice, is the headstock the same shape as the Mach 1?

[lozbass]

Hi Alan, thanks - yes the headstock is the same as that found on a Mach 1 (a kind of slightly modified paddle)
