Aside from that, i'm pretty sure they're discontinued. So if you find a good one, grab it, regardless of the price.

eBay has them from time to time. They're pretty hard to find elsewhere. Most people don't seem to want to give them up.

The price of Wal basses is rising like the rivers here in the Northwest.

If you really want one, prepare to pony up some major $$$.

Thats ROCKED


Wals are coming out a little bit better as of late, however the price's are still staying up there right now, but might drop a little as newer ones keep coming out. I believe Pete is moving the shop as well from what I understand but sounds like the scare might be over for a while about Wals being no more..... someone else might be able to confirm this...


Close's thing to a Wal's sound will be a Series I or II electronics, however you might want to custom build the Alembic which will cost a fortune so the taper of the neck is backwards from nut to bridge.

If you want a bass made in Germany, go with a Ritter. The Wals I've played had that "V" profiled neck that I really don't care for, but they do sound real nice. My 2 cents.

Yea, Wal's are still in production. USED prices are high, but I dunno about getting a new one. I think $2800 was about the cheapest you could get a Wal before things went hay wire. A new one would probably be a couple hundred more now.

Which is why I'll be getting a Stambaugh...

I have big GAS for a WAL.

Basscentral no longer can get Wals.

I tried to contact Pete, at Electric Wood, maker of Wal basses.

I heard the wait on a Wal is 2-3 years?

Used is your best bet.

Prices are in the $2800-$3500 range.

 

[Tbirdbassist]

More like $2800 -$4500... :scowl:

they aren't, bass central just got flustered because they were taking so long to make (wal is pretty much a one-man operation) and stopped carrying them. you can buy them new direct from wal.
