TheGreek Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Nice looking Wal Pro (the single pick up model). Currently has just over a day to go...£1560 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Wal-Bass-Guitar-Pro-1-Fretted/173691519009?hash=item2870d24021:g:LxwAAOSwwSJcE~Y8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Wow! Nice! I wonder how it sounds with just the one pup? 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, the build quality on mine was decidely average Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickA Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 (edited) One pickup, no electronics and the body is a slab of stained ash not the full, shaped and laminated hardwood sandwich. Then again a MK1 would be over £3500. Put my full blown Wal on front pickup only and wound the filtering off to see what a passive Pro might sound like. Not something I'd normally do. Certainly not the full Wal experience but not bad, especially if played near the bridge. Plus, Wal necks are nice and that alone would cost £1600 new; but there are Better basses at this kind of money I think. ..this for instance (lusted after one of these in the 1980s) https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ibanez-Musician-MC900-bass-guitar-excellent/302831220965?_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIM.MBE%26ao%3D2%26asc%3D20160323102634%26meid%3D14d8e8bc047c4c04b38f6ee857da6953%26pid%3D100623%26rk%3D2%26rkt%3D6%26sd%3D123037422806%26itm%3D302831220965&_trksid=p2047675.c100623.m-1 .

NickA Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 Sold for £1660. Someone got a nice neck and a bag of spare wal bits for the price of a neck. Not so bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
