customstocker Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 selling my beloved wal pro bass. made in 1979, bass is in great condition , lovely straight neck with rosewood fingerboard, with only a couple of small dings to the rear which are barely noticeable & certainly not noticeable when playing .carbon fibre inserts are clearly visible at top end of headstock . body is black stained ash with the classic wal black scratch plate which is in perfect condition , completely undamaged. active electronics with bass cut & pick attack filter switches ( to the right of pickup) chromed hardware , Schaller machine heads nicely aged . bass gives a good variety of sounds with the 2 filters & is pretty impressive for a single pickup instrument. the pro series have a slightly warmer , less synthetic sound than the custom series but to be honest theres not much in it really. like the later custom basses this one is really quiet due to the graphite lined electronics cavity , it was designed as a proper studio instrument. with the bass is a slightly later wal hard shell case with a fluffy grey interior . im going to miss this bass a lot .sorry but no trades . for images please click on this link , thanks for looking [url="http://s1191.photobucket.com/user/customstocker/library/wal%20pro1e%20bass%20guitar"]http://s1191.photobucket.com/user/customstocker/library/wal%20pro1e%20bass%20guitar[/url] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4000 Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 (edited) Can't see the pics while at work, but I've been after a Wal Pro (pref a Pro 11 passive) for longer than I can remember, although I'll admit I don't know whether I'd get on with the forearm contour anymore. Bad timing though (isn't it always?). EDIT: Just checked out the pics. Lovely! Edited April 11, 2013 by 4000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BassBod Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 I'm thinking that must be a re-finish? I only remember gloss (natural, sunburst or solid black) finishes on the old Pro basses. Very nice look! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I reckon the body has had a refinish at some point in the past too ,if it has, its a proper pro job ... but the neck has the characteristic deep laquer cracking that is usual on these 70s wals see pics of back of headstock .im 100% sure that the neck has never been touched. cheers.
