Wood & Tronics Club

#382
Not much of activity in the W&T club recently, I thought I may share a crappy pic (apologies for the quality, made by my phone with the awful light; collection of my daughter's toys in the background) of my lovely pair of Wood & Tronics basses.

On the right - Zoid VM6, I own it almost for 2 years.

On the left - Ergon custom fretless 5, arrived last month.

Both are 33 inch scale, Zoid is NT, Ergon is BO.

I never have time to take good pics, but I will surely make it this month.

Beautiful basses kuz! My w&t's continue to deliver and keep me gas free. I just thought I'd share this video here if one of my groups, my chronos is featured prominently and might give others a good sense of how it sounds. Feedback would be appreciated. Thx.

Thanks! "Gas free", what a nice expression to describe what I feel right now :)
I absolutely dig this kind of music, if you ever will tour in Europe, it is definitely "must-go" for me! Great musicians, "tasty" bass playing, and your Chronos sounds so sweet! Loved it, thanks for sharing!

Aw, thanks man.. its been a long time in the works, but the band is almost done with the record, and will be out there in 2013.. We will be looking to come to the EU soon.

The Chronos does sound very good, but I have to admit that I've discovered the secret weapon for that bass. I had a chance to audition an alien audio preamp, designed by the late Mo West. It sounds phenomenal, im installing one this weekend. I heard it for 5 minutes and it was a no-brainer. Then I tracked a tune in the studio with it and was totally sold. Way nicer to my ears than the stock East SP2, which sounds pretty great in its own right.

A little OT here, but just where/how might one acquire the Alien Audio preamp? I've been interested in their basses, but I'd love to try a pre in my own.

The Billy Sea sounds awesome! Nice mix of world and Americana styles. You guys would do well out here in New Mexico - especially up in Santa Fe or Taos. Very cool!

Great clip, Jake! If your group comes to the Greensboro area let me know, would love to check you out. I really love the look of these basses. I'm usually not into these kinds of instruments but there's just something about the lines that I find very pleasing.

Not sure what happened to that guy. Maybe he Came to his senses and kept it. Lucky for me, I was starting to think about scooping it up, but three chronos 6 strings is a little too decadent for me :)

Thanks blue blood! Will do man!

1st gig last night with the new preamp. First impression: Holy bejeebus it sounds great. Much more neutral and focused overall IMO. Very clear and more horn like in the upper register, more detail and focus down low. So far, I'm happy. Two more gigs with it today, looking forward to spending more time with it. It seems that for now I've found my preamp of choice
