1983 | Rosewood | Fretted | 21 | 4 | Mk1 | Mahogany core, Sycamore facings. Chrome hardware | Ron Claassen | This bass is rebuilt by Paul Herman. The first owner tried to reduce the weight of the bass by sawing pieces from its body. Paul made the second owner a new body so together with some fretboard work, it's like new again. This bass now uses the original neck of W2714 which has been fretted now. 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." | ||

This Wal Mk2 has a Mahogany core and American Walnut facings, but has a 4 string Jonas Hellborg style headstock with inline tuners. As Rufus explains on the Wal Bass Lovers Of World Unite Facebook Group: "I commissioned Wal to build me the first ever 24 fret four string combined with the new Mk2 five string body shape... Inspired by Jonas Hellborg's double neck (which had 24 frets on the fretted half), Ian decided to build the bass with a new and totally unique headstock...and marry the fretted single neck to a lovely Mk2 style walnut and mahogany body." Rufus sold the bass to Keith Russell, but bought the bass back in 2020 after a break of just over 20 years. Note the slightly misspelled surname on the headstock. | |

Warren Bassett ordered this Mk2 Custom bass with a Jonas Hellborg Maple body, direct from Pete Stevens in June or July 1996, and collected it in person in October 1996. This was his second Wal Mk2 bass, so he wanted something a little different with the sound, something with more bass and low end, so decided on a Maple body. He had seen the Wal Mk2 Jonas Hellborg body shape in a magazine here in England, and as he wanted a slimmer body shape asked Pete if it could still be made. He regrettably sold the Mk2 Custom to the Bass Centre in London, which was then sold to the wife of Keith Twist as a present for him. After Warren Bassett got in contact via Paul Herman, Keith Twist sold the Mk2 Custom to Jose Villanueva in Massachusetts. Recorded from Warren Bassett, 17th October 2021. | |

2007/20 | Ebony | Fretted | 24 | 4 | Mk3 (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. (Sound sample at https://soundcloud.app.goo.gl/V24vsNtZAdVFaTMm6.)" | |
