It weighs 9.5 pounds and there are no issues.
There is some finish wear above and below the neck pickup (anchor points).
Some of the black has worn off the knobs.
The frets are good and the neck is set up almost straight w/ a low action.
This thing is a tone monster and I'll hate to see it go.

I've always dug the look of the 5 string wals. Bump for a gorgeous bass.

I got it from the original owner about 6-7 years ago. He lived in Florida.

Thanks. This is the last bass I wanted to sell, but i just took out a short term loan to cover kids tuition & credit card bills, so something has to go.

This thing is beautiful! If it was a MKII I may would be seriously having to check the funds.

If you live in my neighborhood (cannot recall which part oftilden you are in), I would love to check it out. Not a five string player, but makes me wonder.
