Quick intro as a newbie here.
I have managed to assemble a modest collection of 'vintage' basses, and have a '71 P, '77 Stingray in my bassesbyleo collection (my jazz is a Låkland

I have been moving toward a G&L for some time but was heavily focused on an SB1. Anyhow, a little research done and I discover the Wunkay. So not an owner yet, but will be very soon, and I'm so excited. To think that there is a largely undiscovered (by joe 'guitar playing' public at least) Leo Bass, that he poured all of his remarkable ingenuity into, and that he released to launch his new company, that is still out there for reasonable $$$ is amazing...
I just wondered if i could get a low down of the much mentioned neck issues please?
I checked out the thread herein regarding 'the dreaded frett board split', but wondered if it is possible to get an idea of other neck issue, what to look out for or anything I should know before buying. As i live in Norway (and have never seen a Wunkay for sale here) i will be likely buying from the States and so can't try before i buy. Any info would be appreciated.
Also, when was the L1000 launched? Other than 1980, i can't find an actual release/launch date... Just curious.
Many thanks
