Wal MK1 2015 - Includes Two(2) Wal Necks
Wal MKI (fully serviced in 2015-read below). Originally, it had only a fretless neck, but now comes with an additional vintage Wal fretted neck with a rosewood fretboard (which is currently installed).
The bass (originally built in May 1985) was sent back to Wal HQ to get a new body and fully serviced - The original body (which has been in Wal's possession when the bass was sent back in 2015) had Wengé facings that had separated on the front by the control knobs (and repaired by a previous owner). Paul Herman opted to build a new Sycamore facing/Mahogany core body with a clear gloss poly finish. The fingerboard was levelled, and the neck was given a clear gloss poly finish. All new pots, necessary caps replaced, pickups and all electronics were inspected/serviced, it essentially came back as a new bass. It also had HG Thor Epoxy fingerboard applied in 2016.
The body is in exceptional shape with no wear I can find.
There are a few extremely light surface scratches along the fingerboard on the fretless neck from roundwound strings, but these are extremely fine and they cannot be felt at all while playing. I cannot find any damage, dings or dents on the neck itself.
The fretted neck shows some signs of use (light dents, dings and scratches are present) but is in very good shape for a vintage neck of it’s age (early 80s) Some of the hardware for the tuners on the fretted neck looks to have been swapped out, but everything works as intended.
A Wal with two genuine necks is almost unheard of, so this is a great chance to own both fretted and fretless!
