Moog Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 (edited) Hi guys, I'm looking to move on my Wood & Tronics Fretless Chronos 5 due to a pending house move and need some funds. I bought this off of Pierre Ganseman about 5-6 years ago, and unfortunately I can't exactly remember what all the specs were and I seem to have lost my PM history from that time. So I'll list what I know, if Pierre sees this he might chime in Chronos 5 string - E-C tuning Maple neck/body (unsure of top wood), ebony unlined finger board with side markers Scale length is somewhere between short/medium (30.5" from nut to saddle on E string) String spacing 19mm John East 3 band preamp + on/off switch Single coil pickups Finger Ramp Hipshot ultralight tuners Currently strung with new Fodera rounds Weight: 4.1kgs It's both a lovely bass to look at and to play; it has a very low action and plenty of mwah. The eq is very powerful, however I think I prefer it in passive mode Gigged with it less than half a dozen times, and has spent most of it's time on a stand - I'm not a very good fretless player truth be told! There's a few small issues to mention which I've also tried to highlight in the photos: There's a nick on the body just off the top right 'corner' of the control plate where I foolishly used a precision screwdriver to try and get the control plate off to change the battery - doh There's a small ding on the back of the top horn on the rear of the body There's a couple of small dings on the face of the fingerboard up in the dusty end There's a scuff on the top of the headstock There's a small ding on the edge of the neck on the treble side around the 6th fret area (can't really feel it when playing) I'm located in Sudbury, Suffolk should anyone want to come and try it. Local pickup is preferred but I have enough material to send it securely - probably cost around £30 to send. Can also travel in the Suffolk/Essex are to meet people if that facilitates a sale. I'm looking for £1100 but open to offers - no trades thanks. Any questions let me know! Moog Edited February 3, 2018 by Moog Price Drop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Pierre, The length between the nut and the string retainer is 32 inch, which would make the scale length slightly less. Sound about right?
