  1. Thanks! The crash was very violent, car destroyed, only injury: wrists. Bad luck, but I'm alive!
  2. Yep! My teacher introduced me to it, more than 20 years ago. It was love at first listen!
  3. Brand: Pasini - (Wood&Tronics) Nickname: The Rocket Body: Ash 2 pcs Top: Tiger Maple Neck: scale 35" - maple 3pcs BO (central quarter sawn) Fingerboard: 24 frets Bird's eye maple Cover Pu: Bird's eye maple Dots: Blue/gold glitter inlays PU: Pasini single coil neck, single/dual coil/single bridge Preamp: Pasini 3 way – stacked volume, Hi/Mid/Bass; Active/Passive switch, Mid switch freq, single/dual/single switch Color: blue Triumph Rocket 3, gold hand painted binding Conditions: almost like new, just a few slap marks on the pickguard. Pasini basses is directly connected to Wood&Tronics, it is always Enrico Pasini; it is a line that maintains the construction quality and sound characteristics but aimed at being more direct and immediate for the customer, with more "standardized" customizations and a more modern impact in the aesthetics. The Rocket has some more customizations, made on my request, having been among the first to have commissioned it. It was designed in pandance with my bike: a Triump Rocket 3 classic blue/cream/chrome/gold. Despite the modern line it maintains a traditional stamp, very JB; however, by activating the dual coil, it becomes a sort of telluric cannon! The playability is excellent, like all Wood&Tronics, and the weight is perfectly balanced: it doesn't seem to have a bass with an increased scale on it, but it maintains the focus and grit! Preamp is natural, and neutral, so It's not really a "Jazz on steroids", but more of an "adult Jazz" with a lot of experience behind it! Fun fact: the shape of the body allows it to be played while sitting at a 45% angle, like a sitar, maintaining a more comfortable posture, and allows you to comfortably reach the entire fingerboard. Unfortunately, due to my work and some microfractures in my wrists (due to an old car accident) that are not naturally curable, my playing autonomy is still 10 15 minutes, then my hands start to slow down (as if they had low batteries); I therefore decided to keep only one instrument, for fun from time to time. For more photos I am available, eventually I can record some short clips Semi-rigid gigbag, GruvGear leather strap + locks - included
  4. Too heavy? It is not a swamp ash with tonal chambers, it is an excellent full "hard" ash body (+ maple + purpleheart) . Well if it were unbalanced, it would be heavy on a shoulder, yes. But a bit less than 5kg, in a perfectly balanced bass, you don't even perceive them. Specially with a good strap! Maybe not a fan, but I really like his tone and style!
  5. A little less than 5kg, between 4,5 and 5,0 kg. Obviously is perfetcly balanced. (i forgot to write in ad: soft bag, gruvgear black leather brand new strap, and a set of Loxx are included)
  6. Wood&Tronics Orion (the new Epitome) 5 strings BO Conditions like new Body: ash Top: tiger maple Neck: maple Fingerboard: purpleheart 24 frets Dots: orange pearl Pickups: W&T cusom single coil (neck) + W&T custom Jazzbucker (bridge) Preamp: active/passive 3Leaf Pike Shapeshifter (blue and red modules included. The blue one is more....."vintage" and smooth, the red one..."modern" and growly) vol/bal, high, mid, bass, + mid freq switch The Jazzbucker is a double single coil, you can switch between single/both/single - the one towards the neck is jazz "60 position, for a classic J 60 or "Jaco" style - the one near the bridge is more "dry"', a sort of "Alembic" style, and brighter - both....hold on tight and release the Kraken! Really a HUGE sound variety and great playability! I'm selling it to make a new one. This is s the first made, the s.n 01, initially it was to be called Orion, now it's Epitome (W&T made only some little design modifications) +39 3401025705

  10. Samples should be ready tomorrow; and also some other pics of the back. - edit - here some other pics, light isn't good (some yellow in the air), here in Veneto it's raining/snowing. There was no time for the audio yet, the bass is still from W&T; but (I hope) tomorrow a small video should be ready; (Enrico , mr. W&T; will make it for me). It's possibile (if new owner wants it) add a "metal decal" on the headstock.
  11. Samples should be ready tomorrow; and also some other pics of the back.
  12. Thanks! Yes, it's special; It puts you in a good mood! At the moment it's at W&T's laboratory, to make a "last" setup, and to check that everything is ok (I know it's all ok, but for correctness, a last check up is a "must"), so for samples I have to wait this weekend. If it can be useful: in passive mode the sound "starts" form the Jazz 70 (ash, maple, 70 Pu positions), but with a lot more punch, and a lot of "wood grain" sound; mids are perfetcly balanced; in active mode you can "correct" them with the mid-sweep; with the others preamp controls, the soundpan is almost unlimited, without ever losing its basic character.
  13. Reluctantly, I have to sell my W&T Patchwork, I need money for a new one (almost as crazy), and....a lot of other things. Model: Chronos 4 Construction: Bolt On, 22 frets Body: European Ash Top: Quilted Maple Neck: 3pz Hard Maple Fingerboard: Bird's eye Maple Preamp: John East J retro (active/passive,Vol, Bal, 3 way vol + high treble + mid sweep, active/passive tone) PU: Kent Armstrong single coils Body shape has been redesigned, to "fit" perfectly with 4 strings and 22 fret (instead of standard 24) Great conditions! A truly crazy funk machine! In some old photos it has quilted maple Pu's covers, now it has "clean maple" Pu's covers (1st and 2nd pics) Shipping included.
