+1...anyone that doesn't get this song has NOT seen the reaction of the ladies on the dance floor when it comes on...

TRUTH!!

Every time I've been to his house, it has kind of a 'hey, hey, yo, yo, yo' sort of vibe.

Well, he is my G money.

Vic is a closet Sir-mix-alot fan. Everytime I am over there he breaks that out.

Yes, but ONLY for the effects his music has on our audiences... ONLY.

Oh man, I feel a do-rag cap-poppin' pic comin' on...

 

[Vic]

Ok, here she is folks, and I know this might sound silly, but Mike TOTALLY KNOCKED THIS SUCKER OUT OF THE F'N PARK!!!!!

I haven't had much time to spend on it, 'cause I have to work today, but I can not find any dull/dead spots on it anywhere, and get this... it's only 8.4 pounds!!!!! YES!!!!!

Also, if you think the pics look good... folks, they do NOT do it justice... seriously... I tried to capture the "sheen" it has, especially in that last pic, but really couldn't. This thing sounds a f'n mazing... even amongst MTD's. Mike told me it was a "special" one... one "he'd buy", and I believe him!

Anyway, onward! ...

This pic is pretty especially crappy, but I posted it anyway... I'll post a better one later... it really looks cool in the case, too.

 

[lefty007]

Just, wow. That has to be one of nicest MTDs ever, and that's a lot to say.

I envy you for the weight; my 535 is 9.5 lbs.

And the grains throughout the whole bass. . . sick .

Vic, that is awesome!

Not that it will happen, but DIBS!!!

 

[gruuv]

Dang it, Tom! Let us plebians have some nice gear too!

Seriously though. . . that's sick, Vic! I need to call Mike in a big way.

Vic, I humbly and respectfully call dibs on this if you ever decide to sell it. Does that work for you?


EDIT> Damn, I see Tom B already beat me to it, huh?

 

[tombowlus]

It doesn't matter, anyway. I just got off the phone with Vic, and I may have to bring a crow bar to his wake (may that day not come for a long, long time, of course!).

Tom.

Dear sweet lord...

Beat ya!

 

[smakbass]

That looks killer ash neck?

 

[Tony G]

Beat ya!

Damn you fine sir!!!!

 

[Tony G]

Seriously though Vic, that bass simply made my jaw drop. It looks truly remarkable in every way. If Tom ever passes on this bass if you actually decided to sell it, and I don't see either event I just mentioned happening, I would sell my first born son to buy it.

+1.. beautiful all the way around. I love the 'big eyes' in the birsdeye board... nice!

Tom.

Yep.... I was just about to post something to this effect. I love all my MTDs, but amongst them, this one is particularly "my bass". It's the right weight, the right sound, the right look, it is firing on ALL cylinders to the n'th degree, and I don't say that lightly.

 

[Vic]

That looks killer ash neck?

yup.

Somewhat recently (like as of last year, maybe slightly before), Mike has become a big fan of ash necks with maple boards. Long story short, the ash/maple neck gets me the tone I've tried a couple times to get from the wenge/wenge combo and a couple body wood combos, but just couldn't do it.

How do they vary?
