TheGreek Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 The Wal is a "Pro" model NOT the more desirable "Custom" that everybody is after and sell for £2.5K..The Pro models are passive and don't have the Custom's circuitry..these were designed as entry models which could be upgraded at a later date..no idea how much the upgrade is today..

Happy Jack Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 My Wal Pro IIe was active. [IMG]http://i1128.photobucket.com/albums/m496/h4ppyjack/Wal%20Pro%20IIe%201978%20SOLD/100_0172.jpg[/IMG] That rectangular thing running parallel to the G-string is the battery compartment (yes, funny place, I agree), and the bass in the advert has the same battery cover in the same place. IMHO, £1250 is still a very good price for this bass. If it was close enough for me to go and have a look at it, I would certainly be tempted. If it's in good nick and requires no work, then that price is a bargain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walplayer Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 The passive still had the compartment iirc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warwickhunt Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 So is this for sale by a BC member or is this in the wrong place? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
