I dismanteled my fretted MK1, measured everything and took pictures of it. a felllow forumite Patricio (username PLB) drawed the digital plan for me.

I have PDF's of it so i'm happy to share it with you if you like. (just send me a PM) 

Thanks!

I love this re-creation of the wal mk1! I’m also in the beginning steps of planning and designing my own wal re-creation but my template doesn’t seem to have the best measurements (I scaled a photo up to the 34inch scale length) could I also have the design? Cheers - Liam

I just added a transformer to the preamp so the balanced output is working now too.

soundsamples will follow soon now!

That’s awesome @RonC something else I will need to look at. 
good luck @funkmagoo with your build. I’m starting on the same journey with lots of help from @RonC 👍

Only just seen this thread, but incredible work and documentation and congratulations on putting together what looks like a fantastic bass 👏 Dare I say, I much prefer the look of this to yours and any other Wal Mk1 basses I've seen 😬 Like others, dying to hear those sound clips 😉
