bassplayer50000 Posted October 15, 2012 Posted October 15, 2012 (edited) Very good condition October 1988 Wal Mk II 5 string (W3114). Owned from new and showing modest wear for its age it has a solid Brazilian Mahogany body with a black gloss polyester paint job and chrome hardware (custom order when I bought it). Rosewood fingerboard and dot position markers - classy, understated bass that sustains like a grand piano and sounds awesome. There are a couple of superficial marks but nothing serious. Comes with original Wal hard case. £3200 Mint condition Bongo 5 string H in stealth black. 2 years old and rarely gigged. Comes with original MM hard case. Owned from new - £850 Edited November 28, 2012 by bassplayer50000

Stacker Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 Welcome to the forum, bassplayer50000! Guys, I viewed the 4001CS last night and it is in top condition bar the small chemical leach marks mentioned. Most Rick owners are aware of the nature of the CV finish that allows such marking. As a prior owner of a CS, I can attest that vermillion (aka 'padauk') 'board on this bass is striking in its contrast to the cream of the body. An absolute peach!! Good luck with the sales, Simon!
bassplayer50000 Posted October 16, 2012 Author Posted October 16, 2012 Thanks, Donny. Now wishing I'd shown you the Wal when you were round at the house! Cheers. Simon
Stacker Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 No probs. Post up some pix when u get back to whet the appetites!
bassplayer50000 Posted October 17, 2012 Author Posted October 17, 2012 Sorry for the delay - photos (hopefully) attached to this reply.

Francesco Posted October 17, 2012 Posted October 17, 2012 I've never seen a Wal black polyester without it's color matching headstock! This is a very unique Wal. Good luck with the sale.

Francesco Posted October 21, 2012 Posted October 21, 2012 Thanks for your input. I don't like metallica so that's probably the reason.
