Highfox Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 [quote name='MPU' timestamp='1505557602' post='3372786'] I'll try to make a clip later today. [/quote] Moikka! Be interesting to hear it. See if it gets near to the Wal tone. The closest looking clone I have seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Cloud Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 I must admit I'm very tempted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPU Posted September 16, 2017 Author Share Posted September 16, 2017 Sound clip at https://maihinnousu.net/s/27621 Please click Kuuntele for listening or Lataa for download. Both pickups on. just playing with resonance and boost. As you can hear, the boost is subtle but it is there. I tried with bigger boost but I think it's easy to boost so much that the sound is not usable anymore. Marko Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellzero Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 Very nice bass with 24 frets, but some more pictures from Finland would be great. Are the pickups from Christoph Dolf of Bassculture ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPU Posted September 17, 2017 Author Share Posted September 17, 2017 (edited) I hope I get this right and the pics show. The bass is made by me. The pickups are cloned after the thread and info found on Pickup makers forum. Coill dimensions, wire, magnets, keeper bars etc. are very close to Wal. Pickups are also made by me. Preamps are made from schematic made by RobbieK from Talkbass. They are not Wal clone, but work in similar way. They have adjustable resonance frequency and switchable boost of 6dB. If you want to find out more about the basses I've made please search Talkbass for user MPU. edit: I don't know why the body pics show upside down no matter what I do. edit2: Weight of the bass is around 4 kg. Will ship in a hard case. I don't have a case yet, but Gator case will add around 80€. Shipping to Europe is somewhere around 65-70€.

three Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 (edited) Massively impressive - extraordinary talent MPU. Wals don't suit me at all - I always sell them on fast - but if they did, I'd have bought this by now Edited September 17, 2017 by three Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
