Wood & Tronics Club

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

Thanks for sharing, Jake! Very useful!

It's still for sale and listed in the classifieds.

It is still listed in the FS International boards, but the listing was pulled from the standard FS forum. Maybe he decided it was a pain to ship to US. Either way, it was a mega steal at 2k

Yeah, seemed like a good deal... I just have zero experience with them so I had no idea what to expect other than all of the "European Fodera" stuff which didn't exactly narrow anything down for me. Same reason I haven't pulled the trigger on a couple of STR basses, aka "Japanese Foderas".
:cool:

I agree. As seemingly specific as that term (Fodera-ish or European Fodera) sounds, it really doesn't say much about what something is. I use the term when talking to other players for lack of a better one, and my W&T is quite different from a Fodera in its own unique way, but I suppose it's more similar than different in the larger picture.

They need to be in some of the boutique bass shops scattered around the country for people to check out. I know he's been working on that.
 
Hey folks, I just released a record that features both of my W&T's. the project is a duo with a flamenco guitarist, and I really like the way the tone of the W&T's came across on the record. I've since swapped the pre on my solid body from the East SP2 to a Mo West/Alien audio preamp. the last tune on the record has the alien pre, FWIW. enjoy~
