Aero71 Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 (edited) Need funds for a new house, so sadly this has to go, 1981 Wal MK1, transition model from PB to MK. 3 piece Shedua body (without the mahogany core) , good condition, plays and sounds great. Original fretted, but the previous owner decided 10 years ago to have it made fretless by Sander de Gier. To have it made fretted again would be no problem for a luthier. Costs are about £250 It does sound fabulous fretless though, so it's up to the buyer what to do. Original hardcase is included. Price is a reasonable £3800 Edited December 26, 2018 by Aero71 withdrawn 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverfoxnik Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Very nice! 😊 Looks like it even has a 'PB' serial number too. And quite unusual with the Schedua body without the mahogany core.. GLWTS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aero71 Posted December 16, 2018 Author Share Posted December 16, 2018 Forgot to mention; the middle lock of the hardcase is broken/partly missing. The 3 other locks are ok, so the case will lock properly. Ofcourse this has no effect for the sound nor playability of the Wal bass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaggy Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 My '82 Mk1 Custom has a PB serial number too, though with the more usual "sandwich" body construction - I think they were simply using up parts. Lovely looking (and rare) bass from a great seller 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
