Just give in and buy one.

I did. There really is no fighting it.

I was talking to Vic about this, and what would be the "ideal" rock-type setup for an MTD?
At least in drop D, sometimes in full D (ADGCF).

My 535 is wenge/wenge with myrtl burl+poplar/tulipwood.

I'm thinking:

535/24
maple/ash neck/board
ash body/maple top in some translucent stain

Would this be along the right lines? Need it to sound good with a pick too.

ash/maple neck/board

Fixed it for ya.

 

[angie carolina]

that sounds like a sweet setup.
hey everybody.. im new.. hope to be talking to you all more.

Sell your soul for an MTD. You'll never regret it.

Haha I had it like that the first time, then I edited it!

I presume you mean a standard 5-string tuning dropped a whole tone, right? Meaty! Might try that out tonight and report back, with any luck, the ash will keep it tight enough to be practical. (Ash/burl maple + ash/mac ebony.)

I was watching the Mike Tobias interview by Norm Stockton again and noticed the bass body below hanging in the background. Does that look like a J5 with a Rodman finish to you? I'm GAS'ing for one of those J's...

In case you didn't catch it at the end of the last thread, I was wondering if you're seeing what I'm seeing in Norm Stockton's interview of Mike Tobias posted on Norm's blog...is that a J5 in Rodman finish? I've got GAS for one of those J's.

 

[neptoon]

i did catch that - and would love to have confirmation...hotness, right there
