    Multicoil with Filter preamp club

    Not sure something like this exists because it's such a niche club. But I was just thinking that we could start a club with bassists who have basses with multicoil pickups and filter based preamps, like ACG or Alembic (are they single coil pickups) or Wal or Octave, or the lesser known players...

    Failure Wal Tone. What bass can get close to that tone?

    I’m interested in their 1990’s bass tone. I know their entire bass rig used on the 1996-7 tours. Greg’s rack setup consisted of an SVT-II (non-pro) bass head, a Demeter VTBP-201 (in the SVT fx return), Lexicon Vortex, and DMC GCX switcher with a Dunlop TS1, 94 Russian Big Muff, Maestro FZ-1...

    Would love some feedback on this. I think it sounds really unique even though the goal was the Wal preamp. It’s not 100% there, but it’s fun to have this sound in this instrument!

    Wal bass tone?

    Hey, was looking around and found out that the G&L 2000 was a good alternative to a 7k dollar Wal, is this true, and on 1-10 how close to a wal tone is it?
