garythebass Posted December 15, 2010 Posted December 15, 2010 Highly regrettable forced sale of my Wal Custom Mark 1, superbly hand-crafted in Electric Wood’s High Wycombe workshop. This four-string custom has a mahogany body core with Curly Bird’s-Eye Maple facings – VERY RARE NON-STANDARD FINISH! Quite honestly, I would rather sell a kidney (blood type O if interested) This bass is my pride and joy and has been well looked after. I bought the bass new from the Bass Centre, so I can guarantee that everything is 100% original. I consider the condition to be far better than the norm for a 20 year old guitar, the only real blemish being a minor mark on the back near the horn as seen in the last photo. Description: Wal Custom Bass Mark 1, S/N W3354 Created 1990 and signed off by Pete ‘The Fish’ himself! Very rare Curly Bird’s-Eye Maple facings. I am including the original Wal moulded case. (One of these EBayed a while ago for £200 on its own!). I won't go into all the geeky stuff , but please feel free to ask any questions. This bass really does play great, sound great and record great (as you would expect from a Wal), but with the plus of having the non-standard finish, so it stands out too! I'm looking for £2750. Delivery cost dependent on destination. There is a possibility I could take a credit card through a friend's account and I'll check this out further if interested. I would accept a trade, but it would have to be something relatively inexpensive. I am situated in Essex, UK and willing to deliver, have the instrument picked up, or to arrange a courier if required.
Mike Posted December 15, 2010 Posted December 15, 2010 Superb! I'm quite interested - are you interested in any trades, and where are you in Essex? Could I come and check it out? I'm in Chelmsford. I have a Sadowsky RV5 that's beautiful if you're interested?
cocco Posted December 15, 2010 Posted December 15, 2010 A thousand times yes! Someone lend me some cash?
Mike Posted December 20, 2010 Posted December 20, 2010 Anyone heard from the seller? Is this still available?
jsixties Posted December 20, 2010 Posted December 20, 2010 Mike, I bought this Wal even though is not in my hands yet. Happy so this is a bass I have been looking for years, but I'm completely broke till 2012.
