Highest price ive seen for a pro1 was £3900 but that was a slab body reissue one, this is an original pro1, so worth more, but fretless so worth less.  Also neck pickup where most of the reissues have a bridge pickup and hence sound "more Wal".  

 

Fretless tend to sell slower and cost less, but it's not a huge job to add frets ( vandalism though it is imho ), shouldn't knock more than £500 off the price.

 

£2600 +25% = £3250. Probably a fair enough price.

 

Someone will now try to flip it at £5000 plus on the basis of the Wal sticker.

 

That neck btw:. Having consulted my Wal pals ... It's from an early wal pro bass, so from a different and older bass.  Apparently people used to buy them with two necks ( fretted and fretless ) so there are a few knocking about.
