Cheers john[/quote] Thinking about it John, I'm not exactly sure whether this is a Pro model or a Custom model? It was built in 1987 so that is in the 'Custom' era if you like, but I can't remember what circuitry Wal put in these particular models... Because even a Wal passive bass has some kind of circuitry in it.. Not sure if that's a help to you or not but thought I'd mention it in case it is.

GreeneKing Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 That's one beautiful bass and the price seems to be very reasonable. I'm glad it's not a 5er or I'd be selling my body to science. I may do that anyway, someone can have more fun with it that I have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Rumble Posted October 16, 2009 Author Share Posted October 16, 2009 Hi guys thanks for all the interest and yes the Wal is still for sale a lot of you have said you want it but no one has yet actualy made an offer and short of the highest bidder getting it (smaks of evil bay) I'm not sure how to sort this out. If you have pm'd me and I have not responded I appolagise but bare with me a sudden and unexpected death in the family last night has thrown me let me know what you think and I'll get back to everyone as soon as possible.

I decided to ask them too make one improved offer each and the highest offer will get it, this is open to anyone else who is interested but be quick please. sh*t I hate this sort of thing home is an emotional warzone and upcoming funeral expenses I'm hoping someone will get my Wal at a price they feel is right and I can sort my cash flow. Hope you all understand thanks john Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deksawyer Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 More info on these newer Pro basses can be found here; [url="http://www.trevorandthea.eclipse.co.uk/history3.html"]http://www.trevorandthea.eclipse.co.uk/history3.html[/url] The price this is going for is pretty good - never mind for a Wal, but for an older handmade British bass! It's a tasty example as well.... D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
