OT - completely enjoying the 534. Thanks again for all the "congrats"... I was actually petrified the B string would be floppy, muddy, un-articulate (if that's even a word LOL) on a 34" because the 35" was just flat out insane but should have never doubted Mr. T's work... This thang is earthshaking... Happy Holidays my MTDers!

Of all the 5-strings I've ever owned. I still gas for a MTD535, I stupidly sold a few years ago.
It had an Alder body, "Clamshell" maple top. rosewood fingerboard.
The only 5-string i completely felt at home with.
Due to a left hand injury, i no longer play 35" scale basses.
But a custom 534 is in my future ?
USA MTD's are the bomb. |

I'd also like to know the rest of the specs! |

Sent from my Desire HD using TalkBass.com | By "a little off" are you referring to the angle of the neck being kicked back a little? If so, it's not a problem. |

In fact, I've seen much more significant angles on basses that have had their necks shimmed to lower action, which is also not a problem at all. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
