You'd be better off buying a Peavey Millennium or a G&L L2000.

Get in touch with TBer SGD, he's working on a repro of the Wal pickup, in a MM shell.

I don't get this plethora of "How can I sound like a WAL bass?" threads.

Which WAL?

Every single recording of a WAL I've heard sounded so different that I'd be surprised if they shared any single characteristic. Geddy Lee, Percy Jones, Mick Karn, Justin Chancellor, the guy from Dire Straights... sorry, the only quality their basses share sonically is that they don't sound like a Fender.
