Building a Wal....ish
Hi all
You all know me well, I seem to never be able to stop tinkering. My latest project is something of interest to perhaps some of you.
This thread is going to be partly a narrative, and partly a way for me to try and share what I have discovered in trying to get 'the Wal sound' without getting the Wal look. Oh, and not spending either 4 years waiting for a new build or paying £8k on the second-hand market for one is something of an incentive, as well.

Briefly returning to an earlier topic, pickup spacing, as with the Wal Mark 1 in hand and the original post from Mikeswals on Talkbass (https://www.talkbass.com/threads/wal-bass-club.367800/page-316#post-18986378), I can extrapolate the pickup spacing for the basses that Mikeswals measured. That plus the information from @Richgives us a good showing of pickup spacing on different Wals; I don't know of this info existing anywhere else.
Reassuringly, I can replicate the measurements M
