TestaDiBasso Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wombatboter Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Love it ! Basses can look so dull sometimes but this fuels your imagination....it almost urges you to do something special on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wombatboter Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 (edited) Any chance of a sound sample ? Edited March 14, 2018 by wombatboter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TestaDiBasso Posted March 14, 2018 Author Share Posted March 14, 2018 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flippyfloop Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 This is just awesome. If it had 24 frets I'd be all over it. Still quite tempting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TestaDiBasso Posted March 17, 2018 Author Share Posted March 17, 2018 Samples should be ready tomorrow; and also some other pics of the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TestaDiBasso Posted March 19, 2018 Author Share Posted March 19, 2018 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
