I hate you. But I love that bass.

Sweet bass Mark.

I have to say that even though Mike has been building basses for a long time, he is still getting better at it.

I know how it feels... My new MTD is an amazing instrument as well.. Yours is VERY unique.

I hate you. But I love that bass.

You'd be surprised how often I hear that.

Woah Mark, I didn't realise you played bass! What a beauty that is, I hope you have many happy hours playing it!

If you are down in London and want to check it out let me know. I will get it covered in Burberry just for you!

 

[Basdyret]

Wow... That's honestly the only MTD I've ever seen I've found more beautiful than the alder/myrtle burl MTD 535 I sold earlier this year...!

I thought my MTD GAS had burnt out...

The "World" logo's a nice touch Mark, but why isn't it centred on Australia ?



Great bass there, mate! Hope you have many happy years together .

That's such a beautiful combination of woods. Congrats and play it in health.

simply beautiful. I don't think I've seen a prettier one. They are ALL stunning though aren't they. But, that one speaks to me.

Congrats.

Beautiful bass, I really like the birdseye maple fingerboard. Will Mike make these in a
34" scale?

 

[CiRRuS~BaSS]

most gorgeous bass i have ever seen. no joke.

 

[Angus]

Will Mike make these in a
34" scale?

Yep, with 17mm spacing.

 

[Alistair R]

That is INCREDIBLE!

Yet again I wonder if some of you have banded together with a Perpetual Money Machine for the level of bassosity I see here on a regular basis. :scowl:

Edit: that "World Logo" is stunning, and IMO Mike and crew should give thought to making it standard on all USA Handmade instruments. It may cost you a touch more (but when you're at that level of MTD-ness, a drop in the bucket... ) but it catches your eye on a purely visual, aesthetic level that I imagine even non-bassists would realize the "Top 'o the Line" status of this instrument just by catching a glance of it.

Congratulations Mark - she's a looker, and if I know anyone that'll "do right" to her by playing ability, it's you. I'm just jazzed at the fact that I've found out that MTD will build in tighter string spacing - just what my GAS pains needed to find out.
