Here's my new 535. Just got it in today. I sure do love the smell of a new MTD. Mine has a stained ash body/walnut burl top, ash neck with a maple board. I'm loving it!!!!!
NICE! That's a beautiful instrument. Probably goes without saying, but boy do I love that wood combo. Congratulations!
That things sucks the life out of the music. Horrible.
You know...I have a certain Roscoe that I would be willing to send your way and I would take that piece of crap in return...just because I'm that type of friend.
That thing is king. Of course, you sound great runnin' through that rig and the playing was awesome. I love me some MTD!!
BTW, even though your guitard player looks like Leo DiCaprio, your bass face is better than his pucker.

Had a really fun gig on Friday night, and wanted to share why I love the 635 so much. (And it's running MTD strings, so this isn't a total hijack from the post above.
Finally, here are a few pics from the gig...
ROFL! Awesome stuff, Tony.
Hilarious...I told him he looks like DiCaprio, and we got a laugh out of it. In person - he looks nothing like the guy. Go figure. Hell of a guitarist...his name is Bill Ireton, btw.
Now, about that Roscoe. Each of the clips above has subliminal messages which state that your armada will not be complete unless you have a Roscoe fretless. So, listen a coupla' more times, and let me know when I can come by for the swap.

Here's a clip of my 535 in action. Although I'm not the one playing it in this clip, this guy isn't so bad..

Man, it sounds like it. Nice clips! I used to play almost exclusively in small heavily improv-oriented groups (mostly jazz) in the 80's and I REALLY miss that. Every time I hear a clip like this it takes me back to those wonderful boundary pushing days.
Nice. Congrats on everything... bass and group.
Vic you better be practicing your chops in a real book, things are getting interesting gig wise

Hi Kuma9,
I really like the body wood on the back, is there a finish added to have this color?
Thanks.
Its a dark stain that was used and hand finished with an epoxy base coat and catalyzed urethane topcoat.
I knew you would come back to the familyWelcome!
Yeah, I just couldn't stay away. So now we need to set up another mini GTG soon. Now I'm on the hunt for a 535 Bloodwood.
Kuma9, any chance of hearing your new MTD through that Puma 1000 and UL 410? Congrats again on a stunning instrument!
Sure! We have an outdoor gig at the end of the month. I'll record it. We also have a showcase on Thursday where I'll be using it through a Burg 210.
Awesome! Thanks in advance. I just have this feeling that I'm really going to dig your playing no matter what, but I've been kinda' Jonesing over the TecAmp and haven't had the opportunity to hear one.
I did a few gigs that were recorded using a Nordy VJ5 that sounded nice. But I know for sure that this MTD is going to be something special!!
You wanna' hear a Tecamp? Dude, I heard the Bad Cab being fed by the Bad Bull head at Messe... lemme tell you, it made a messe me!!! I think I actually became slightly disoriented when he hit the low B!
Oh, and the new Bonafide and rear ported 212 is an awesome rig.
