Everything is to learn, I started this luthier education in 2018 (1 day a week) and before that I had no skills at all. But with a good teacher, patience and trust almost anyone can get there (unless you have two left hands of course.. )
Thank you!
A new family picture of my 3 Wals together with a new born Claassen bass which I made myself.
if you’re interested, here’s the build diary of my tribute to Wal:

Dank je!!!!
It was quite hard work, especially to plane the ebony top and back to the right thickness.(sharpening my plane every 15 minutes...) but it was all worth it.
I'm very satisfied with the endresult! 😀
Great sound funkle!
I used the same combination of electronics and pickups in my recently build Wal copy!

Here's the great Axl Peleman (Belgium bassist) testing my bass, he was very fond of it and told me it felt like a fullblood Wal! I coundn't get a bigger compliment from the master!!
