The Official MTD USA Thread

[Vic]

Somebody else needs to post up some nice shots of their MTDs. I figure I've probably overdone it as it is, so it's someone else's turn... make sure to include some nice close-ups too!

(this means put the camera in "macro" mode... the little flower icon on most cameras).

Sale pending here -- whew, that was fast! Thanks to all who inquired & commented.

bassdaddy,
you have a sale here. I can sell one of my PRS to make up the diff. PM sent.

No problem....

This is *was* my 535 that I sold about 3 years ago. It is serial# 672. It is pretty much a Norm Stockton model in terms of the specs. That photo was taken with my first 435 before I aquired my other four 435's.

I dearly miss it and I would love to see it now or get in touch with whoever the current owner is. I would seriously want to buy it back.

bassdaddy, Keep me in mind. I'm scrambling to get the cash for that awesome 5'er.

Now stop bugging me or I'll send close-ups of the fretless, too!

Cheers,

Or I swear I'll spend the whole afternoon taking close up's of my FIVE 435's in detail.

What, do you want me to BEG? Go for it!!

Nicely done guys!!! Loving this!

Ah, I really liked the tone of #746. The RW fingerboard definetely warms it up.

... I'm just practicing my photo posting.

Has anyone heard or owned an MTD fretless with a honduras rosewood board? It sounds (technically) like a cross between rosewood and ebony, which I imagine would work quite well for fretless.

Cheers,

EG

As of now, I'll be a member on February 15th! Specs have changed a little...but I'm excited none the less...

OK, #746 arrived to its new home today. Took it home and played it at lunch, I'd be playing it right now if the Fever and Liberty weren't playing. I love to watch Women's hoops. For those new to this thread it's the one on the right.

Where are my manners? Thanks, Bruno!

I know that bass. What are the tonal diffs between the two.

 

[lindseyp]

Right now there's very little, partially because I can't crank the amp here. That will have to wait for Saturday. Also, I have to drop the action of the ash-necked one on the left back to its original height for a proper comparison -- our bassist digs in and raised it slightly, I prefer the original low action. Meanwhile, we have hurricane conditions here so I may be stroking one of them in a hotel through headphones the next couple of days.

I almost pulled the trigger. Hopefully a TBer got it.

^ Man, those things are so cool. I still want to get my hands on one.

FYI/FWIW, my local store has two amazing instruments. I can brag about the first one since I used to own it.

I'd never heard of makore, but holy cow, this bass is ridiculous. Tons and tons of sizzle, but it's backed by gobs of warmth and fatness. Absolutely amazing bass. Fortunately this one isn't a sixer...I'd be selling my walnut 635 and a few body organs to get it.

FWIW, that looks to be an ash/walnut body, ash neck, maple board.

FWIW, it's not. The neck is indeed maple.
