MTD Saratoga 5 + Barts - Price Drop!!!!

Sign in to disble this ad
MTD Saratoga 5 - Maple neck, 34" scale - Excellent condition!
- Sale, no trades

$450 - Shipped CON US

(Paypal is preferred).

Upgrades:
Bartolini Pickups:59CBJD L/LN - Original pick ups included
Dunlop Strap lock pins
Extras Included: Aguilar OBP-2 wired to pots (un-installed from bass).
Monster Bass Cable
Professionally packed and shipped (check my ratings)...

Pics:






(little finger smudge on the right side of the body - not scratches)


Added some additional pics below.









I did some recording of the bass and posted on a thread here with the OBP2 & Passive:

The "Official" MTD (non-US made) Club Part 2

I would not recommend taking the bart pick ups out because this was the best upgrade on the bass in my honest opinion, but you'll get the original pickups anyway with the deal, and the OBP-2.

Thanks!

Not fully sold just yet. Waiting on pmt tomorrow.

B string on this is actually great!

I learned that a B string doesnt necessarily have to have 35" scale to be good. The recipie for succes on a 34" scale b is the combination of setup and materials used/design for the bass itself.

I've switched entirely back to 34" scale for a few reasons including this knowledge.

I have one of these as well and can attest to them having a great B string. Excellent basses for the money...well worth a look.

Thanks for the trade interest. Only interested in a 500watt amp head - Ampeg PF500, or 8ohm Cab PF115 or 210 at this point.

Great bass. I like the look of these. Great interpretation of a modern J bass.

I bet the Barts sound killer as well!

Thanks! Yes, they really lift the bass to a new level. The stock pick ups were not doing it for me.
