Details

Meet MTD #1990, built in 2010 and in excellent condition. I cannot say enough about how good this bass sounds and plays. I am the original owner, and I bought the bass when Mike first started using makore as a body wood. I was trying to achieve a bass with tones for use in a variety of styles, a workhorse, and the makore was recommended. This wood combination nails the tone goal in spades. There is an inherent heft to this bass's voice and you can dial in a broad tonal palette with a turn of the knob.

The details:

One Piece Quilted Sapele Top- Deep, Detailed Quilted
Makore Body- Gorgeous Iridescent Quality
Maple Neck
Madagascar Rosewood Fingerboard (24 fret)
MTD World Logo
Luninlay Glow-in-the-Dark Fret Markers
11.1 Pounds on the Bathroom Scale (sits very comfortably)
18mm String Spacing

I take very good care of my gear. For the sake of disclosure, I will note that there is a scratch on the bridge from a slip of the screwdriver when intonating it. Also some light wear on the tuners, pickup covers, and one of the knobs. There is also a miniscule nick on the headstock, very small and not noticeable in the photo. None of these things are noticeable unless you are looking for flaws. Otherwise the bass is immaculate.

Trade for MTD Saratoga 5 or Super 5.

Please ask questions via private message. Thanks for looking!

I truly believe that this is one of the best sounding MTD's to come out of Mike's shop. Someone is going to get an amazing bass here!
