I would say not particularly as he isn't identified as playing a wal.

I'd say not. If you wanted a Wal, you'd get it cheaper elsewhere. If you were a BF fan I'd think you'd want a bass more reflective of him.

Personally, I always think of 'THEY WHO SHALL NOT BE MENTIONED" if I think of Bruce Foxton

Didn't he play a copy of one of the instruments made THEY WHO SHALL JOT BE MENTIONED? Personally, I always associated him with those Matsumoko made neck through body basses (Aria branded I think).

Mad price but that is one lovely Wal and in exceptional condition.

They are open to offers

...That's one for Four Rooms!

No one with an ounce of common over here is going to pay that, but it may well end up with some millionaire in Japan or suchlike,

noelk27 - thanks for the detailed info. Now I've got to resist the urge to track down one of those Arias!
