What other types of bases share a similar sound to a Wal or Alembic (which i'm also in love with), that dont cost a fortune? If you know the work by Justin Chancellor of TOOL, you'll know pretty much the exact sound I'm looking for.

Any thoughts? Also, it may be important to know that I live in Canada. Some import models can be really difficult to get here. Anything from the U.S is easy to get obviously, but overseas I think may be more difficult for me to get a hold of. Know of any around on my side of the ocean?
