TRADED US MTD Saratoga! Like New!

Fantastic MTD USA Saratoga for Sale/Trade. Hand made by Mike Tobias in his New York Shop. I have been having fun trading/selling basses lately. This one is on the edge for a keeper, but wanting to try some other things like an Fbass, vintage fenders, Foderas, etc. Really like 5 string 34" scale - seems to fit me best. This bass sounds like a cross between a Sadowsky Jazz tone and can also be modern with the preamp settings. Passive option makes the bass sound more 70s Fender jazz tonally. dig in and the bass can growl - more so than the traditional MTDs I've had. Nice flexablility, action is nice and low with the craftsmanship you expect from Mike Tobias.

Lots of great trade offers! Very open to trade cash +\- love trying cool basses. Would love a late 60s early 70s jazz bass, a lakland USA joe Osborn, etc. looking for something that compliments my main bass, a mtd 635

 

TRADED

Thanks all for great trade offers. Ended up trading for a brazillian board vintage style mike lull! Never had a chance to try a lull so looking forward to it

 

Cool! Wow it’s been three years already. Those mtds are very nice. That bass has a nice 70s jazz tone with a slight modern twist.

I tried the mike Lull and didn’t dig it.

After all the trading I’ve basically moved on as a final verdict to two Fodera customs. A five and a six. I rarely play 4, but have two vintage fenders and a rick I take out occasionally. But I have found foderas are the ideal match for me.
