I'm using the DR Low Riders on mine. I'll have to give the Sunbeams a shot.

It's kinda interesting to look at the blend and EQ settings in all of the pics. It seems that most seem to favor the middle of the blend. And most seem to like the mid eq up full.

I'll get a photo of mine on here when I get home.

And No, it is impossible for Mike to build a bass that isn't just beautiful. And they all appear very unique, despite the common shape.

Depends on where the knobs are set on the pots

I run my mids flat.

MTD535 Natural
Mytle burl/Mahogany

I use SR2000, but I am thinking about trying out nickel strings next time I change it.

Beautiful bass indeed..

I think I'll send this link to Mike T. He should get a Hoot out of it! Sort of a family reunion!

[dabassist]

what kind of bridge is that?

it looks different from my 535(hipshot)

is that a bad ass bridge???

 

[masterFunk]

I believe that is the old Tobias bridge that Mike used to put on his bass before he changed to Hipshot
