The Wal is off to a new owner very soon. I shall miss it but I know it's going to be loved

Thanks for all the kind words, pointers and advice fellow Bass Chatters. Looks like it's sold.

[center]Wal Custom 1981.[/center] [center]Complete with original hardcase.[/center] [center]I’m pretty sure that I will end up regretting this decision but having recently got back into guitar playing and having made an expensive purchase, I’ve decided to sell my lovely Wal.[/center] [center]A very attractive looking instrument, with Padauk facings and a Mahogany core.[/center] [center]Signed off by Pete (the fish).[/center] [center]A great example and not overly heavy, at around 10lbs 10oz.[/center] [center]I have recently completed restoring this bass, as when I got it, it was very much in need of some TLC.[/center] [center]It sounded in fine form but wasn’t looking so good. A previous owner had applied some sort of brush on finish that I just couldn’t live with. I therefore removed it and after much preparation, applied the finish that you can see in the photos.[/center] [center]All hardware and electrics function as they should.[/center] [center]I have replaced the bridge screws and the little domed marker studs set into the body, adjacent to the control knobs. These items were all purchased from Wal Headquarters.[/center] [center]Frets are still good, as is the board. There are signs of use as to be expected with an instrument of this age but everything works as it should.[/center] [center]Truss rod functions perfectly.[/center] [center]The pre amp is a masterpiece and gives so many tonal options.[/center] [center]This Wal has the volume control with a built in on/off and I noticed at rehearsal a few nights back, that strangely, it has a bit of buzz when the switch is in the off position, it disappears as soon as it is switched on and the volume turned up.[/center] [center]Currently strung with a nice new set of DR Fat Beams 45-105.[/center] [center]The case is in good shape, although one catch is faulty, it works but has to helped along a little.[/center] [center]My price is £3,550[/center] [center]Payment by bank transfer or cash on collection (Hertfordshire).[/center] [center]Although I would prefer collection, I will post if necessary but it will be with a courier of my choice and fully insured. If you require this let me know and I will get a price.[/center] [center][url="https://flic.kr/p/P3XB1L"][/url][/center] [center][url="https://flic.kr/p/Pbak6Y"][/url][/center] [center][url="https://flic.kr/p/Pbajxy"][/url][/center] [center][url="https://flic.kr/p/P3XxTy"][/url][/center] [center][url="https://flic.kr/p/P3XvdU"][/url][/center] [center][url="https://flic.kr/p/NLBuFq"][/url][/center] [center][url="https://flic.kr/p/PefDQT"][/url][/center] [center][url="https://flic.kr/p/ALycm5"][/url][/center] [center][url="https://flic.kr/p/MEgVPb"][/url][/center] [center]If any additional photos or info is required, just let me know.[/center]

Another bump. As has been said by others, they are great guitars

[quote name='Grangur' timestamp='1486400024' post='3231466'] I've got plenty of packing stuff to make it secure. I've never had any problems. I'll be happy to drop by tomorrow afternoon. [/quote] Thanks for the offer Rich, much appreciated but I have enough at the moment.

[quote name='Davy' timestamp='1486384256' post='3231246'] Where are you located? [/quote] I'm in Hertdordshire, bit of a trek from your neck of the woods. I'm happy to engulf it in bubble wrap and a sturdy box for posting.

and a bump.

Time for another bump.
