MTD USAs

[boogiebass]

Congrats on the new MTD, Mike! Easy to imagine how that thing sounds, especially conveying your chops. Bet it's awesome.

Thanks,
I am digging the 35 scale. Allows my short, stubby fingers a bit of room in the higher range. Thanks

Mike

Brad,

I definitely agree. I am considering it because they are so wonderful. It's just there are many things to spend 100 on - including my family, food for the table, a snowblower, Christmas/Chanukah presents (for someone other than myself), and on and on. Please note that I am not trying to knock, on the other hand, I truly think they are wonderful. I was even asking Mike T. which ones he thought wouold look good on the fretted 435. I am just having trouble pulling the trigger.

It was just an observation, Mike

I can understand the need to spend responsibly and $100 is a lot of money for knobs. I'd have trouble pulling that trigger too



Happy Holidays to you and yours.

Now if I played a P-Bass, the decision would be a no-brainer.

 

[Brad Johnson]

Yep, about $40 for two knobs...




don't know if I'd pull that trigger either

 

[funkycarnivore]

I guess it depends....are these the kind of knobs that improve clarity and imaging?

 

[masterFunk]

You know, you could have this bass and imagine paying for custom purple heart knobs!!

Dang, you guys make me regret selling my MTD. Oh well, it was for a good reason. My wife bought for me a R bass 5 to replace the 535. She said "I want you to find something that you will play". Then she says "I want you to keep the MTD, cause you love it". So then I had 2 outstanding fretted 5 strings, which actually turned out to be a curse instead of a blessing. The MTD sat in its case, and that was a little too much for me to take.

Anyways, so Chris A is the owner now. He hasn't chimed in, but this was my favorite MTD of the bunch.

Don't worry, life is not bad. Just got my Rob Allen fretless 5 today, so that and the R bass will be joined by a Nordstrand SC 6 in the summer. Tough life, i know.

Oh, that bass is getting lots of playing time. I have to find some of the pics. Sold 2 fretted basses to pay for that one, too. Thanks Leo!

Mike Dimin, I have those metal knobs on my 535, I am not sure, but I think M. Tobias told me at one time they may not be interchangeable, if we can find out for sure, I'll swap ya.

You have beautyful MTDs ! If it sounds like it looks... ARRGHH!!!

Your advices will be very helpful for the bassists who want to get an MTD in the future (like me...) here : http://groups.yahoo.com/group/tobiasmtdbasses/

 

[ryanowens]

I haver a NEW 2004 MTD 535 that is beautiful that just isn't my thing. I am thinking of selling it or trading for a sadowsky. Let me know if you are serious about buying an MTD and I can send you some pics.
Thanks

How does the sound compare to that of other higher end basses such as Modulus?

Realllly want one

 

[Dan Knowlton]

Well, I FINALLY pulled the trigger on an MTD 535. This one was at Bass Alone, so I got to try it out a lot of times before purchase. The MTD pics are from Bass Alone - check out the website for another cool MTD - I just liked this one better!

Anyway, I also have Ken Lawrence Brases, F-Bass BN-5, and a Lakland 55-94 - if anyone wants a comparison in a couple of weeks, let me know.

BTW, this is the third high-end my wife told me to buy - and she bought me the Lakland! AAAAAHHHH!, married life!
