Chris2112 Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 The closest thing to sounding like a Wal that is not a Wal is an ACG, IMO. I reckon it's down to the filter based preamp, which allows you great control over the midrange of the bass. Get one with the RFB pickups, roll back the treble using the dual band control and you're there, making that burpy, midrange heavy sound that made Wal so famous. Nothing else even comes close but you can do a poor impression if you have a Bongo bass. It'll get you somewhere near the sound you're after, but it won't fool anyone.
