This colleague was on the same track: Making a Wal-ish Bass. Very informative!
Edith: The Youtube Video can not be displayed… So check SuperFunkyPete:
Making a Wal-ish Bass, Video 5.
Spoiler: With the help of Turner MC4X Pickups with 'English Voicing' and winding changes and a Lusithand Double NFP Special preamp.

it’s there full English filter pre
Nothing to fancy tbh was pretty limited with where I could go so decided to put things more towards the bridge
A "SqWal"Cool a Wazz! Or Jal..
Sorry to rain on this parade, but super funky pete spent a year trying to get there and his sound samples did not impress.
The only person who managed to do this correctly was the guy on facebook who sells complete basses for a song- he actually reverse engineered the pre-amp and hit it out of the park

A "SqWal"
that might just be the winner
not fooling myself but I’ll be happy with a nice sounding bass

Really cool project! I love seeing Squiers being repurposed like this since they’re basically the perfect low-risk instruments to start messing with. Maybe I need one…
Can’t wait to hear how this sounds when you’re done! And regardless of how it sounds in the end, it looks pretty awesome already.

Four year? At this point that's just the wait to be invited put down a deposit!
Cool project.
I just put an acg eq-01 into a sbmm ray34hh last week, ill be real interested in how yours turns out with those turner pickups. Im on the fence about a pickup swap in my project.
Cant wait to hear the final results!

Still, that's not nearly as long as waiting for a green card based on a sibling (10-20 years). </immigration attorney mode>
Those Octave basses make me wander; how legal (or ethical) is it to meticulously copy every Wal bass detail and sell them? They even copied the Wal bridge. Isn’t that patented or something?
