1983 Wal MK1 Fretless - Elm Facings

1983 Wal Custom MK1 in very good condition. Mahogany body with Elm facings, lined fretless ebony fingerboard. Serial number: W2194. Nut width: 43 mm/depth at 1st fret: 22.5 mm. Weight: 9 lbs 12 oz / 4.43 kg.

The body has a few small scuffs and little dings, but is pretty clean overall. The neck is very clean, as is the headstock. The fretboard has light play wear but nothing major. The truss rod works as it should. 

It's been set up in our workshop with a set of flat-wound strings.  The electronics all work as they should. It has Wal flat response, humbucking pickups that contain individually matched pickups for each string, thus eliminating imbalances. It has a built-in balanced XLR DI and a standard ¼" jack output. 

CONTROLS

Volume Knob: Rotary adjustment of output volume; pull to actuate pick-attack. A narrow band of high frequencies is added to the overall tone-setting to provide a dynamic, percussive attack. Both the overall output level and the level of pick-attack are trimmable from inside the bass.

Pick-up Mixing Knob: This silently mixes the levels of the pre-EQ'd pick-ups to any desired ratio whilst keeping the combined output level constant.

Tone-Knobs: These operate electronic, low-pass filters whose roll-off frequencies vary with the position of the control. Fully clockwise at 10, the spectrum is full and flat. As the controls are backed off, the spectrums of the appropriate pick-ups are foreshortened. (Roll-off 12dB / Octave). The dominant tone character varies, therefore, throughout the entire range of control. Pulling up the knob produces a quasi-parametric boost of about 10dB to the harmonics
