Fretless

'89 Wal MK1 fretless in fine shape. I'm a little hesitant about selling this one, but I don't use it and it's just senseless to have it stored in the closet. The body has some small surface cracks (hard to photograph) but they are quite shallow and have not grown. The neck is in excellent cond, with no nicks, gouges, or wear spots. Ebony board has worn flats and there are no grooves in the surface. I've read somewhere on the history of this bass, that the preamp was sent to WAL in Dec 2016 to have it re-capped. I've since replaced the input jack with a new Switchcraft. Comes with DA Chromes, oem blue dog bone case in decent shape and a Med. Wal T-Shirt. $6k shipped/insured to the lower 48 ONLY. PayPal, Bank Draft ok.
I have some specific basses I'm looking for, will consider a trade plus $'s for the Wal. Here's what I'm looking for: Warwick Thumb 5, w/black hardware, 10#'s or less, BO/NT, Yamaha BB2024 (non X) in sunburst, 9.5#'s or under, Yamaha BBP34, sunburst, 9#'s and under, Rickenbacker 4000, Lakland 44-64 USA Glaub, sunburst w/rosewood board, under 9#'s, John K P-Bass, any color / fb option.
I will kindly ignore any low ball offers, or any ridiculous trade offers. Thanks for looking, please p.m. me for additional info, serious inquiries only please.

Hi Stephen
Thanks for your enquiry
Congratulations on your purchase! – lovely
I recognise that messy handwriting – my very own! Yes some of the wood used had unusual origin – I’m pretty sure this was the door step from an old English manor.

beautiful bass...probably a good thing I didn't see this earlier as my wallet would be hurting.
