The Official MTD USA Thread

My Holy Grail MTD... no, I'm not exaggerating.
#29, Maple Burl on Ash, Wenge neck, gloss finish.


Best MTD I've ever played... which is why it's now for sale.

Sigh. That one used to be mine. She was the best playing bass I've ever owned. The tones were amazing, and of course the looks are to die for. To top it all off, she's light as a feather!

I guess I have to explain why I let her go. In short, I traded in my boutiquey looking instruments (MTD 535, Modulus Quantum 5, Warwick Streamer Stage I 5) in favor of some boutiquey P-basses: one Sadowsky P5 and two Benavente 51 models. I wish I could've kept 'em all. I miss that MTD the most! :bawl: I'll buy another 535 some day.

She's in good hands. it's Number 441. Right now it's at Mike Shop. I had him mill all the frets, retrofit it with the BFTS, and give it a nice set up. I talked to Mike about 15 minutes ago and even he expressed how much he like this bass. It's leaving New York today and will be back in my hands on Wednesday. Can't wait.
