martysprior Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 For Sale Chronos Klimt 5 String from Wood&Tronics. This bass features an unbelievable AAAAA quilted Poplar top with a unique Aqua/Black finish over an American Walnut body. There is a custom "W" logo on the 12th fret which gives the bass a very classy understated look that is further enhanced by the satin finish. The electronics feature the new custom Wood & Tronics /Kent Armstrong custom dual coils with ebony pickup covers and the new Nordstrand 3 band preamp with active/passive switching and passive tone control. Tonally this bass just sings, the 60's pickup placing makes the tone harmonically rich and full, yet clear and defined. The banjo frets and comfortable neck profile allow fast playing and ease of movement around the neck and smooth note delivery. Another outstanding unique bass from this world class company that sets the standard for others to follow.

mcgraham Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 Gorgeous looking bass. I remember Enrico sent me pics of this one when they were just finishing it up. I have no doubt this plays as amazingly as my own Klimt does. Few people who've played these basses have not come away absolutely in awe of their sound, playability and craftsmanship. Anyone who is reading this and is tempted, at least get in touch with Marty and check it out for yourself. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denis_d Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 A beautiful bass indeed, and the sound should be great! Enrico sent me it's pictures too. I own a WT Zoid fretless 6-string, and I have no words to tell how much I like this bass. WT's are worth checking out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
