martysprior Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 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 WT/Armstrong dual coils and the new Nordstrand 2 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.

mcgraham Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 I never got the chance to play this one, but given that my own Klimt has replaced every other instrument I own, I have no doubt that this is a peerless bass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martysprior Posted January 20, 2010 Author Share Posted January 20, 2010 Hi there, didn't know you had to put a price on this bass. Would like £2300.00 for her, she has been everything that I expected with WT basses. I have played man, many top end basses and this bass goes straight to the top of the tree. Absolutely gorgeous finish, looks better in the flesh if you can believe that. Fantastic craftmanship, electronics etc. Really nice tone have recently recorded and played this bass on a studio session with Max Middleton (Jeff Beck Group) with outstanding results. Seriously don't want to part with her but needs must Look forward to your response Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
