Details

FS/FT: I recently was lucky enough to acquire this locally from another TB member and am putting it up for sale. It is quite simply put, an extraordinary bass. I am lifting this description from the prior post here on TB: Built Feb 2000 Wal Mark I fretted. Fully loaded with every option: flame maple facings on mahogany core with matching flamed headstock, ebony fingerboard, gold hardware, one-off gloss blue-violet finish, birdseye maple neck and hornbeam center. W4034 signed by Pete, with a very fast thin-slim profile neck and mild V-shape. Excellent condition and kept very clean, only a few dings in the finish visible in the pics near the bridge and forward pickup, and one on headstock.

Right after I acquired it, I took it to Mike Lull and he replaced the frets and put it on the plek machine. It plays like a dream. The bass plays and sounds absolutely fantastic as a Wal should. The case is the fiberglass "blue dogbone" hardshell that is missing one latch which was rather typical of these dogbones.

I am now open to trades plus cash. I paid $4,600 and put an additional $600 improvements with Mike Lull. I am reducing the asking price to $4850 (was $5,000) shipped CONUS OBO. PayPal is fine. If you have a trade offer, PM me.

Thanks for looking at this great bass!

I used to own this bass. It's everything you would expect from a Wal and a unique finish to boot!

P.S. That small ding is minor btw (from the previous owner before I bought it a few years back).

I also owned this one at one time--absolutely my favorite of the many Wals I've owned over the years, and I wish I had the money to pick it up again! Good luck with the sale...
