Wal basses for sale

I am the lucky owner of four Wal's but, in recent years, I'm playing less and less ... and after a recent motorcycle accident which has left my left shoulder in a mess, I'm simply not playing at all. It seems a shame and waste of their talents for my basses to just sit there unused so the time has come to sell on one or more of them.

So, in no particular order:

- W2043 4 String Fretless. This is has a single pick up at the bridge and is passive, not active. There is slight wear on the fretboard (use
of round wound strings) and a chip in the lacquer on the top/back of the body (see pic). Original brown Wal case (no keys for the locks
however). I've owned this bass for over 20 years. I have no idea what this is worth as nothing comparable has come up for sale.

- W2225 Mach II 4 String. Wenge body. Non Wal hard case. £2500

- W3742 Mach II 5 String, Birds Eye Maple, Original blue Wal case (one lock missing. no keys either). £3000

- W2783 Double Neck, 4 String MIDI bass and 4 string fretless. American Walnut body & gold hardware. I have all the cables, manuals
and the rack mounted MIDI processor. Original fitted flight case. This was made for Steve Payne (his name is on the headstock) and I bought
it from him a few years back. As I understand it, this is one of only two ever made, the other belongs to Jonas Hellborg - Make me an offer!

To be completely open, all these basses have been used live, except the double neck which I've only used in the studio. There are some
slight marks on the head stocks etc but nothing serious, The damage to the fretless is more serious but it was like that when I got it, it could be repaired pretty easily I think, I've just never done it

I guess not all of these are "for sale", but I can't decide which I would keep - so I'll see what the interest is.

I also have a red Yamaha TRB 6 string going for £500

I'm afraid you'll need to post prices on the Fretless & Double Neck.
If you're not sure, please remove them from the post until you are, these are the For Sale rules.

Best of luck with the sale, beautiful basses!

Cheers
Si

Hi AdamK550,

Welcome to BassChat.

My Q's for you are - Isn't the 4 string fretted a Mk.1 and where are you based please?

Just the kind of thing I'm after but need to shift some other basses to raise the funds unfortunately.

All the best,
Jon

Yes, the fretted 4 string is Mk 1 not a Mk 2 - sorry for the confusion.

I'm based in Somerset and I'm happy for people to come and try the basses first.

Since I need to put a figure on the fretless and the double neck, I'm going to ask £1300 for the fretless and at least £4000 for the double neck

Adam

how heavy is the double neck? :P

It is quite heavy - play for a while and you know it. It made from American Walnut so my mates refer to it as the "coffee table"

Could you tell me where the dots are situated on the side of the fretless neck of the doubleneck ? (between or on the lines ?)
A picture would be helpfull..
Thanks..

The fretless neck is lined so the dots are between the fret lines. The 4 string fretless is unlined, so the dots are "on the fret"

Since I've completely failed to work out how to add attachments to personal message replies, for all those people who wanted more pcitures, here they are.

I've included shots of the cases, front, back, headstock, serial plate, controls etc as appropriate. You can see any minor bumps and wear from these.

I should have also said that I'm know to the Wal community in the UK & US so be assured this isn't a scam!

Forgive my ignorance, but what is the wal community? Also how would we contact this community should I need a reference.
