    NBD: God bless America… especially Kingston, NY, USA

    My first ‘nice’ bass, back in the early 1990s was a Tobias Classic 5. It was walnut, wenge and alder. That was my main player for many, many years. Because of that bass, I have always loved MTD basses. I’ve owned a couple over the years. Last week, I spotted one that really caught my eye… an...

    So this bass.......... THIS.......BASS........KILLS! So why? Why list it? Well, I'd prefer a dual coil fodera 5 for what I'm currently doing musically.

    NBD: MTD 535-24 Ambrosia Maple | The End of GAS (again!)

    Every time I get a new bass I declare it’s the end of my GAS. Multiple basses later, the GAS is still very alive. Although, my gear fund is at the lowest it’s been in a while, and this bass is a definite keeper. Here’s the backstory: My very first “nice” bass was an early 90s Tobias Classic 5...

    MTD mod question. Nordstrand over Bartolini?

    Wenge fingerboard problem

    I have an MTD 535-24 with wenge fingerboard for 8 years. At various frets, where the fret meets the fingerboard, there is a whitish substance that developed on the fingerboard over time (see attached pic). I can remove it using a soft metal brush, but it will return in about a week or two's...
