This page features my Wal fretless bass, serial number W3863. Wal basses are hand made, beautifully constructed and individually unique instruments. The example presented here is no exception. The body is constructed of solid Mahogany with book-matched Hydua facings. The finger board is Indian Ebony and with inlaid Maple semitone markers. The six-piece laminated neck made of Rock Maple, Hornbeam and Amazonian Hardwood with a 34" scale is standard for this instrument.
I ordered this instrument in January of 1994 from the now defunct Bass Center in Ventura California. The instrument required 7 months to complete and the attention to detail in the design, construction and craftsmanship shows throughout. The control cavity cover was signed by Pete Stevens of Electric Wood - a work of art in wood!
