This particular bass when purchased new was $11,500USD.

TRADES:
Will consider 5 string basses preferred (will consider 4 strings) in fretted or fretless 28" to 38" Scale.Here are bass brands that interest me: Alleva Coppolo, Carl Thompson, Fodera, Sadowsky, and Wal.

I had this bass made personally for me. I can attest that it truly is something special. If I hadn’t just purchased a couple four string Wals, this would be on its way back home currently. I told myself I would buy this bass back in a heartbeat if given the Chance. Also, just a heads up....when I owned the bass there were two cosmetic “nicks or imperfections” worth noting. On the lower horn of the bass you can see a scuff/ indentation made by an instrument cord. This was caused by our sound man one night. The only other spot I found on the bass is just below the arm cutout on the front facing, in the picture it is to the right of the glare. Both marks are very minuscule. Having said that, the new owner’s jaw will certainly drop when they hear the Tone of this one!

Thanks for posting this Bob! Bob is the original owner of this instrument who had it commissioned directly through Wal. I wholeheartedly agree that this bass is a total tone monster and I don't say that lightly.
I'm honoured to wield such an instrument of this calibre.

Awesome!! Man I just bought a pre-Gibson Tobias and just got my Grand Stick with upgrades back from Emment. How about some sound clips? Definitely a Wal is on my bucket list. How does feel slapping that beast?

Giving this another bump. Owning this instrument has been a real treat!
I have no problem keeping this bass, it's officially my favourite 6 string of all time.
But I guess I'm just hopeful there could be a trade that would match this beast.
