margusalviste Posted March 17, 2009 Author Share Posted March 17, 2009 [quote name='beerdragon' post='436502' date='Mar 16 2009, 09:16 PM']is that the actual bass you are buying? is has what look like scratches or marks near the nut thats all.[/quote] Yes, that's the one and only Alvistar I am going to have. But there are no scrathes as far as I know. It's just a photo I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm really starting to favour solid colours over the exotic wood top these days. I'm also tiring of engineers/band members taking the piss out of 'coffee table' No accounting for taste I suppose. Also, how does this feel compared to the body of the Kronos. Looks a little sleeker/downsized. The Kronos looked sleek enough already. Jay.[/quote] Thanks! I like also solid colors on basses like that. Actually I haven't got the Alvistar yet from Italy. It takes a week or two before I can get my hands on it. I'll let you know as soon as I'll get the first impressions. But Chronos is really comfortable to play. Really the best bass I've played so far. Hope the Alvistar will be even better!

bass_ferret Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Looks cool. Not overkeen on the plate TBH. I was not over impressed when I tried a W&T but then we all like different things. +1 on the coffee table bit - I like solid colours.

Rich Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 I'm not wild about the plate shape, or the sloping-back tuners, but that's just personal preference. Overall it's a cool retro look. Very nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I visited Enrico's place some time ago and most of the basses I could play there were extremely good. Although, nobody is perfect and you can always find not-so-good basses from any manfacturer. I've heard quite bad stories even about some 10K basses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had a good thrash with a number of exotic basses and my GB's. I was really buying amps but the opportunity to try so many lovely basses was too good to miss. But I did not play anything that made we want to change my basses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EBS_freak Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Cool looking bass. Love the colour and the headstock... STILL can't get past that W&T signature chunk out of the body though! Still, each to their own - that looks like a killer bass - enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
