That one there should be an interesting combo... not to mention stunningly beautiful, to boot.
On the one hand you have the ash body to sorta' fill in for the wenge "choke", so you should have a growly tone that also slaps extremely well. In addition to that, you have the redwood top, which is gonna' warm things up just a bit for a really smooth sweet high end. Probably soften the wenge zing just a little... maybe also add just a touch of lows.
I'm going to take a guess that this bass will sound great on fingerstyle, maybe with a bit more of a classic character, but I predict it particularly shines with slap.
Hi, I'm the happy owner for the MTD 535 wenge/wenge, ash/reedwood top, (I'm sorry Owl!) All Vic says about how it sounds is true, Vic is a really MTD expert!
Now I can't imagine to play without my MTD.
Hehe, no problem. Enjoy it!Hi, I'm the happy owner for the MTD 535 wenge/wenge, ash/reedwood top, (I'm sorry Owl!) All Vic says about how it sounds is true, Vic is a really MTD expert!

Vic,
That bass was meant for you. Am I the only one that sees the big "V" for Vic in that top? Maybe I am just looking at it differently than everyone else.

Ok Vic, I think this takes the cake for your prettiest bass yet. I loved your Roscoe but o my...
Wow Vic... that's just plain delicious. The FB almost has a marbled look to it from those shots, works perfectly with the top.
