Hi everyone,

here's a brand new bass built for me by W&T, a Zoid from the new Landmark Series. It's special for its pickup placement, the bridge pickup is double coil but a very special one. Bridge coil is very interesting, Alembic-y? Great with the neck pickup, but also on its own. Coil closer to neck is a very rich J sound.
Had it for a couple of weeks and I'm getting some great sounds from it. Here are some pictures.

Below are several videos with decent sound showing various pickup combinations.

YESS!!!! My Chronos 5 just got here yesterday, plays and looks even better than the photos, the neck is absolutely perfect. Been a lot of fun getting used to the ACG preamp, going to try a bunch of different strings this week to find what works the best for me. I will try to get some performance shots this week.
