I have been on a long bass quest and chose to use the MTD KZ 5 as the subject instrument.
I had my luthier friend shave the neck of the bass down to better support my playing style and remove the terrible asymmetry that the Korean builders didn't get right.
Well, I finally found out that the tone was severely affected by the tone and it took the clarity of the "Nord-Ere" combination for me to find it out.
Simply put the neck is not still and though I have a very respectable slap tone in single, series & parallel, the finger tone goes lacking and my low notes aren't tight and my mid range evaporates.
Does anyone know any builders who can build a better neck with some modifications that I would also have added?
