Yes, that's a very cheap price for a Custom Series.
Don't stop and ask questions, go buy it now!

 

[kulit17]

PJ, how heavy is that?

About 10.5 pounds , maybe 30% just for the big ears heavy Schaller tuners lol

PJ, did you see that Schaller now has lightweight tuners that fit the original holes, same size plates and smaller ears.

Could you tell me the model ? I think I will change them for these light ones, 5 Big ears heavy Schallers Tuners are really giving a lot of extra weight for my 5 MKII ! Craaaazy ! What do you think ?

 

[mikeswals]

M4S lights. I still need to do my 5 string too.

interesting..... figuring looks identical to to the one that posted in Wal's facebook page.

If I had to guess, perhaps both mk1 ans mk2 Wals they have are recent builds

***EDIT***
I just translated the page and this is the first sentence:
"Stock brand new Wal is a miracle! "
..............so yup....not a bad way to bypass the two year wait on these things!!!! cost a bit more than getting it through Wal....

here's the Mk2 for the click lazy @ ¥ 1,200,000

Market prices a year ago were around 4k on average (from what I recall, bid on a few and usually ended around $4-4500). Now we're starting to see prices hit the $5500 to $6k range, that's around %30 increase in just a little over a years time. If Paul were to stop producing tomorrow, I'd imagine the market value would rise 20-30% yet again. Now seeing one for $4k would be a "jump on it right away!" price, where as you had to think about it a year back. But baring that, with price increases at Wal HQ I imagine $6500-$7k will be the norm in 1-2 years time...just my economic opinion. I highly suggest holding on to your pieces!

I can't find these light Tuners in US, any suggestion ?

 

[mikeswals]

No dealers stock them yet, you have to order direct from Schaller.

[kulit17]

wonder if we could do a group buy from them and get a price break

 

[Maedros]

I bought M4s lights for one of my MkI's, ordered them directly from a local store. They have a distributor list on the Schaller website. Worth the switch, they look almost identical and reduce the weight very noticeably.

 

[Bass42]

Good Idea !

 

[Bass42]

Fair price MKII 5

Has anyone here had a bass shipped from the UK fairly recently (not from Paul)? Any idea of cost in USD?

Probably would vary from company to company
But on average I think it's about $300?

 

[Toolmybass]

Mike or Jose would probably have more accurate numbers
