Details

Just in time for tax refunds! For sale only, serial # W2704 from 1986, built by Ian Waller. Mahogany core, hydua (schedua) facings with matte natural finish, Indian rosewood fretted fingerboard; weighs (a very reasonable for a Wal) 11-ish pounds from what my scale tells me. Originally purchased from The Bass Centre in London; I imported it into North America, and as far as I know I am the second owner.

So... This is an almost-30-year-old bass, and the wear reflects that: lots of scratches, bumps, and dings. Also, one of the tuners is slightly out of allignment (not an issue structurally, so I haven't done anything about it). Electronics fine, spring set-up not done yet due to the fact that the buyer will want to adjust it to his/her taste and climate upon receipt. So again, lots of mojo, with more wear than I can capture in photographs, great playing and sounding, as you might expect. If you want a Wal you can actually play out with no fear of putting a scratch on it & hurting it esthetically, this is it!

It was bought without the typical grey Wal hardshell case (sorry!), but I will ship it in a generic hardshell case & cardboard shipping box.

PRICE IS $3700 FIRM + SHIPPING
Will ship insured anywhere in North America on your dime. Tax and duties are up to you as well. I'd prefer a cashier's check so there are no fees to contend with, and please keep in mind that the bass will ship only after the funds clear. You know how it is...

I'll post more pics soon, and if there's anything in particular you'd like me to focus on, PM me. Feel free to ask any questions you might have.

Cheers,

Brendan

Thanks for all the trade bait offered, but no trades considered.

I'm going through all the messages I've been sent as quickly as I'm able, so thanks in advance for your patience if you're awaiting a reply from me.
 
All messages replied to; I'm a bit surprised that I've had three messages from local players! I hope everybody appreciates why I'd prefer to sell to someone who can try the bass out in person, so they know exactly what they're getting; and also to someone who has cash in-hand. Not having to pack the bass for shipping or do all the paperwork counts for something as well...

However, it's still available at the moment, and all potential buyers will be considered!

...:D...oh, there have been some discussions...:D

Wouldn't be the first time a few guys pooled resources and bought 'shares' in a bass. $3700 CDN is a steal for a Mk I hand signed by Ian Waller...

Support yer local guy BUMP!
