My 535 is back home!!!! I traded this bass earlier in the year because it was heavy and I wanted something lighter. What was I thinking!!!! I really missed this bass the whole time that it was gone. The tone is killer, it looks sweet, but just a little on the heavy side. Well I worked it out to get it back and now it back home in my hands. This bass is never leaving me again!!!!

Yeah man, sometimes you just gotta' pay the tab if you want a particular thing. I've learned that as well. :)

The good news is, if you haven't already, explore some strap options... thicker, wider, both, maybe even one of those x-shaped things that's kinda' like a harness... sometimes just spreading the pressure out a little does wonders.

Anyway, beautiful bass, and play it in good health! :)

How do you guys get your photos to show up in your post without having to click on anything?

Use a web based image hosting service like Photobucket. Once you upload the photos, then you copy the "IMG Code" link underneath the photo and paste it directly in the Message field on TB. You might have to roll your mouse arrow over the photo on Photobucket to make the links pop up.

Can someone tell me their opinion on the following combinations of woods? Northern Ash body; Walnut top; Northern Ash neck; Maple fingerboard. These are the woods that I'm considering for a 5-string MTD bass. I'd love to hear some feedback on what these combinations should sound like. Please give me some feedback... I'd appreciate it.

I would talk to Mike. He would be able to tell you if that is what you are looking for :)
