Hi folks,

All PM's answered... Appreciate all the positive comments. Believe me, if I didn't just buy a bunch of studio gear, I'd never sell... The phrase "lifetime bass" comes to mind.

Bumping on up.

Here to help - just ping me!

Best,

Mike

Looking at it on my phone, it looked like some sort of walnut slab. Now I see it's a not. Very nice background for a crazy nice looking MTD! Mike's also a great seller.

Any sound samples?

[mgrier1]

LOL, you guys are cracking me up! The floor covering was previously owned by a Brazilian Steer before it was turned into steaks and hamburger

I haven't recorded this one strangely enough... If my new Forssell ADC/DAC comes in soon, I'll pop in some DI tracks.

The sound is well-balanced and I do prefer the Limba back over Mahogany backed MTD's I have heard. Brings out the midrange a bit better to my ears. Of course, all the Lows and Highs are there because it is an MTD after all...

I have had some great trade offers, but haven't committed to anything. Sorry to be so picky - this is a great bass - so I'm really making sure I do the right thing here. I already chickened out on selling my MTD 635-24 fretless...

Ping me with any questions/comments - here to help!

Best,

Mike

I have a small opinion to offer:

Make your photo background neutral, bland, and of an opposing tone to the subject of your ad -- so that the subject pops _against_ it!

Your background is more interesting than the front of the bass!
I don't think that's what you want....

NOTHING is more interesting than an MTD 635 at this price!

Actually, if Natalia Vodianova was in the photo between the background and the bass, I wonder ........

Great bass at a great price. Someone should jump on this one!

[lsu921]

I agree with Mike on the Black Limba. Definitely emphasizes the midrange.

Mike
