Background story:
Ian Leese knows a depressing story: "The story of the ebony neck is that it was attached to W2111, a rare bodied Mk1, which a previous owner decided was too heavy and cut the body up to make it lighter. The body was also revarnished (with a brush) and some of the varnish found it's way onto the neck, which is why the neck now has a waxed finish, I had to use a fine sandpaper to remove the solidified drips of varnish! A replacement body was made by an amateur builder before I purchased it for the Wal case that came with it. The replacement body was not very good, the bridge and pickups badly installed and the electrics were damaged, hence the reason the neck was removed, being the only useable part left. The stupid owner didn't realize that W2111 was an extremely rare Mk1 Wal, the body was solid Berlinia (no mahogany core) with Australian Walnut center stripe and signed off by Wal himself. I still have the body for reference, but unfortunately it's totally unusable. Such a shame." |

WSims | 2007/20 | Ebony | Fretted | 24 | 4 | | Mk3 | Mahogany core with Maple top & back, black gloss polyester finish. | Alexander Goldberg | Previously owned by Alberto Rigoni. Background story: "Before Pete, the previous owner of Wal passed away, he started a project of a new bass together with Martin Sims of Enfield Guitars. After the death of Pete, the project was put on standby and only one year ago Martin Sims decided to complete the bass. It looks and sounds gorgeous. Moreover, it's super versatile due to the Sims Super Quad Pickups and John East preamp and the neck is equipped with front and side leds. It's indeed absolutely UNIQUE.
