Wal Custom Fretless SOLD

What's Hot

edited May 2018 in Basses £

Due to various tedious household repairs sadly it's time to sell my old Wal Custom. It's been in my family since around March 1982 and is unmodified.

It's a fretless 4-string in African walnut with an ebony fingerboard. It's generally in very good condition and plays very well. It has a few small dings and the lacquer has gone cloudy in a few places, which only really shows up in natural light, but considering it's approaching 40 years old it's really nice. 

The electrics work perfectly and were overhauled by Pete the Fish in around 2003.

Serial Number is PB1813, it's signed and dated 2/9/80 by Wal himself and includes the original brown Wal case. 

Feel free to ask any questions, I can also take more detailed pics of any specific parts. 

I'm in mid Wales but do travel a fair bit, and I'm asking for £3750. 

Cheers, Julian

    I'm open to offers on this, and trades for Gibson acoustics or hollowbodies, maybe even a Firebird, Explorer or even a Rickenbacker 6-string.

    Great bass.

    I passed up on one of these in the mid-80s - a one-hit wonder band of the time had disbanded and my mate knew them and they were selling off gear. He picked up a USA Strat for £150 and the Fretless Wal was up for £250!! :(
