Let's try this again.....
Beautiful bass made in 1998 by Michael Tobias. Ash body, quilted maple top, wenge neck and fretboard. Other standard MTD specs:
35 inch scale
Zero Fret
Proprietary Bartolini EQ/pickups:
3 band EQ with selectable mid-switch (1k/500hz/250hz)
18 volt circuit
21 frets
This bass is in an amazing condition for being over 10 years old now. The neck is straight as an arrow, the frets are strangely immaculate, and there is only one single body ding on the entire bass that I can't seem to get to show up on camera. Very minor.
Tonally, this bass is naturally bright and modern sounding, with an inherent lowmid kick that really cuts through the mix. With almost limitless EQ options provided by the preamp, I was able to cop the following sounds:
Fat 'Jaco' tone:
Favor the bridge pickup and boost the mids at 500hz (middle position)
Supportive Pbass-ish tone:
Neck pickup, slight bass boost, and boost the mids generously at 250hz (low position )
Modern slap/fingerstyle tone
Pickups centered, slight scoop of mids at 1k (up position), bass and treble boosted about halfway from center. HUGE sound that sounds downright VICIOUS when slapped!
A few business matters.............
