Rare! MTD JJ4
Pains me to put this one up as I'm not sure how many of these Mike has ever built (I've never seen another JJ4 banger and only a handful of 5er's) but here it goes... a 2008 MTD JJ4 US build by the man himself in Iced Tea burst w/ Bart pup's and pre including his customary hand signed and numbered headstock (accompanying all of his US handmade basses). Basswood body, maple neck and board weighing in at a redunckulus 7.8 lbs. This one is in mint condition and ships in a TKL case w/original COA along with a new set of packaged MTD nickels. No trades please. $2475 shipped CONUS standard PayPal. Here's a link to Norm and Mike talking about the concept of the build...
The GrooveSpot: Episode 2 - Norm's MTD J5 - YouTube
















And here's a quotation from the MTD certificate of authenticity accompanying the bass... " This bass is 34" scale with 21 frets. The neck and body are hand finished with an epoxy base coat and catalyzed urethane topcoat. This should make a great feeling and durable finish. The pick-ups and active electronics are custom made by Bill Bartolini. The controls are: volume/passive tone (stacked), treble, mid (push pull, 250/800), bass with an active /passive switch. "

1898 minus 1820 = 78....

So the bass weighs 78 lbs?



Lovely thing...wish I wasn't a bass player and had actual money!

Cheers,
Cameron
