What are the most common elements that make up the Wal sound? I know the preamp is really unique but is that the main factor or is it the humbuckers, woods, etc?

I just bought this baby
Good lord, another lefty!
Judging by the reverse stringing, I'm guessing that was previously owned by Steve Chesney? Just about any lefty who owns a Wal got theirs from his collection. Where'd you find it? Here's my '91 Mark I fretless, which I bought from Steve a few years ago. It's paduak with sapwood running down the center:

I found it in Pirot (south-east Serbia, near Bulgarian border, 750 euro paid
). As previous owner told me he had it for 15 years, and it was bought in 1994 from his friend in Sarajevo who brought it from Hamburg. This one is made in 1991. Who was original owner I don`t know, however it was made for someone who played reversed strings. Also there is bass extender key added, for which I think is not original. I am right handed so this reverse stringing came great. I don`t know if there is other Wals in Serbia, if there is I would like to meet that people.
