Notes
back to the Table of ContentsA big Thank you goes to everyone who helped me with info on this side, especially Pete Collins for owning numerous Wals over the years and knowing even more stories about them.
Hi Im Keith Goddard and I own W3024 and just to correct things a bit its actually a gold plated 5 string bass, converted from fretless to fretted. Ive owned it for about 25 years so far. Still as beautiful envied as ever .
