I'm definitely having reservations about letting this one go, so I may mark it as 'no longer available' soon.

No, it was in Mike's radar but he stepped aside for me since he has two builds in queue. I got from another TB'er.
Thank you Caca de Kick and kulit17! I was the previous owner of both of those basses, and the unofficial West Coast rep for Wal for a time lol. The fiver was brought over by Pete to NAMM in 2001, so I had it exactly 15 years and it was the last time Pete was in the states I believe. It's a great Wal and I know it's in a good home, and with its former brother. If kulit is nice enough to let you guys hear the Green Monster, because (like I said to him) it's a beast. The five is no slouch either! It's interesting about Wals, we're are a small select group that is dedicated to the brand. I have met and dealt with a few owners and never had a negative experience. Again thank you Caca de Kick for facilitating the connection, again it was a great experience. I will check in here and there, because Wal Fever never goes away.

It is a beauty, and still kills me!
But I was really looking for Mk3 fivers. I just snagged the unsold one Paul will be finishing soon, so now I'll have two new-build Mk3 5's arriving this year.
Very nice replacement. I'm trying to figure out the logistics to send my Pro back for service. I'm intimidated by the whole customs thing.
:***:
If you just send him just the electronic board, it may be less hassle than sending him the body or whole bass.
I want a refret done plus full checkup. Going to ship neck and body separately.
UPS is unorganized and faceless, it is a very difficult and seemingly impossible process to understand. I had to call UPS endlessly, and had to pay about $350 in duty fees which I am disputing and may get some back, the info that UPS wanted was the cost of the repair and the original cost of the bass, along with my SSN (why... I still have no idea...)
