I'm thinning the herd!
Model: MTD 535-35
Year: 2004
Body: Primavera
Finish: Epoxy base coat and catalyzed urethane topcoat
Preamp: Bartolini 3-Band
Pickups: Bartolini Soapbar
Neck: Maple
Fingerboard: Ebony
Hardware: Black
Case: Will ship with soft gig bag (non-MTD)
Standard 35" scale and 19mm spacing at the bridge. The bass has some decent wear but nothing that effects the play-ability.....it's only cosmetic. The headstock has the greatest amount of wear (see the pic). Bass is setup with low action and very easy to play.
My good friend, long time TalkBass member and funky-butt bass player, Basehead, was kind enough to help me create this ad. Basehead made the sound clips, took the photos and provided his thoughts about the bass above and below. (Thanks Basehead!)
Basehead's Notes: Great example of a MTD bass - this bass is alive!
Sound Samples: Everything set flat, midrange switch in lower position (250), recorded without any compression/effects
Basehead recorded two sound samples - one with Flats and one with rounds.
There are THREE sections in each sample - the first section is the Neck pickup 100%, the second are both Neck and Bridge (50% each) and the third is Bridge pickup (100%)
Sample 1 w/ Sadowsky Black Label Flats (.45 - .130) -
Sample 2 w/ Fodera Nickel Rounds (.45 - .130) -

Basehead's Notes: Great example of a MTD bass - this bass is alive!
- Notes are focused and have great fundamental. The Ebony board gives a very modern top end - lots of snap.
- Soundwise, It's got a lot...how you choose to EQ it makes this a great versatile sounding bass.
- Definitely very modern sounding - clear, unforgiving, yet deep depending on how it's played.
- Lot's of fun to play. B string is tight and big, without sounding muddy.
- I prefer the rounds to the flats simply because there's more to work with sound wise. I can't stop slapping this thing (and I do it poorly!).
- Someone looking for an old school sound will love flats on this! With the rounds on, it begs to be slapped.
- The higher register notes are very nice sounding.
