WITHDRAWN: 1981 Wal MK1 £3800

[Aero71]

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

Very nice! 😊

Looks like it even has a 'PB' serial number too. And quite unusual with the Schedua body without the mahogany core..

Thanks! It indeed has the PB serial number.

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.

Edit: Price includes delivery within UK/most of EU.

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

Oh if only this was fretted 

Beautiful bass.  GLWTS

A luthier can fix that for £200 - £250

Alas, that would be taking me way (even further) over budget.

I think that is right. The weight is approx. 4.6 kg.

[deaners70]

My MKII is the same weight @ 4.6 kg

Very nice Wal, and very rare! You don´t come across many of these solid shedua body Wal´s.
Not in the PB series that is. GLWTS.
