    After I opened the case, it took me about 15 minutes to calm down enough to pick it up. My hands were still shaking, so I went to set up my rig. When I played the first few notes, I started crying. It is the most unbelievable bass I have ever played.

    That is one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen in my life. It easily rivals some of the prettiest landscapes and skies that I have been fortunate enought to witness. I wouldn't dare to touch that bass even if I were its owner.

    Uhh...there's nothing inherently better about passive basses. Sorry you're disappointed, but don't worry, I won't make you take my MTD.

    Hey KONG, blueburst is my favourite colour, but I bet I'd sound like a real dip if I said that this finish is "okay with me".
    The top is burl maple with an ash back, maple neck, and redwood fretboard.

    AWESOME!!!

    Last weekend I dragged my fiance to Bass Central and played about 5 different MTD's. She just never understood what I do about basses. At least now that she's actually felt and heard a 535, she has a basic understanding...enough of one to understand when I buy myself one:)

    She even decided blueburst is HER favorite color:D

    I better finish up school damned quick, or I may never get mine:eek:

    Congrats, man!!! I love few basses, but your is definitely one that I do:D

    That greenburst one is beautiful....what kind of bridge is that? I have one on my Zon, it doesn't have quick string releases, and I'd like to get one that does, I cannot find any info on what brand bridge it is....

    Lordy, lordy, lordy. Did I say lordy? Man, what a beaut. I've been resisting the GAS lately, but this pretty much blows it for me. Congrats, man! Whooooo WEE!

    Also, it's very tacky to ask how much it cost.
