I wonder what "light, for a Wal" actually means ...

 

 

Yep, saw that. Gotta say the Bass Gallery are rubbish at updating the details on basses for sale. Their favorite phrase appears to be "More info to follow shortly"

Tell you what Andy, you get the loan and buy it and I’ll buy it off you in a couple of years. 😉

I remember them stating that the Ritter Cora I had with them was "sold" when , in fact, I'd taken it back...

Not an oddity it's an early custom with a pro bass neck on it ( they did at first). Worth about £5000 if it's all working. There's rush fans in the USA who will fight to the death for it!

Well, I’d class that as an oddity, if not the only one.😉

Yes, definitely an fairly early Custom, although it has the two piece output socket instead of the Pro’s single chrome casting. I wonder if the black finish is original?
Good price by recent standards.

I don’t know much about Wal’s , but thats  a really nice looking bass, if it’s all original and in good working order, I don’t think 3k is too bad.

Sold.  Unsurprisingly. Hopefully staying in the UK with someone who will play it ...not flip it for £6000 to the states.

Surprised the gallery, of all people, got caught out by this one.

May have been a commission sale where they just wanted it shifted. Can’t decide whether I’m happy it’s sold or gutted. I was actually toying with selling the Azure ‘72 Ric for a brief  (very brief) moment. Probably a good thing it’s gone, took me 17 years to find that!

We refer to them as “transitional Custom series” or “transitional Pro” basses - when zeal we’re still tying down the Custom design. Other than the Pro neck it’s a standard Custom series in all other ways. They made quite a few like that around 1981..

I asked someone one here if their has was still for sale - said it was in the Bass Gallery. Not on the we website  so I emailed them.....silence.

I’m kind of kicking myself too. If it hadn’t worked out it would have been easy enough to sell on. Just a small matter of the initial outlay, which could have caused some issues with she-who-must-be-obeyed. 😉
