MTD Z5 *PRICE REDUCED*

[RayFW]

I've not used this much at all since getting my Sadowsky and it's too good to be sat in my spare bedroom. I'm also skint so it's time to move it on.


The good:
35" Scale, 24 frets, Mahogany Body with Burl Maple top. 19mm string spacing at bridge. 1 3/4" nut.
Maple neck and fingerboard with Buzz Feiten Tuning System. (More info on Z5 [url="http://www.mtdkingston.com/basses/Z.htm"]here[/url])
Nordstrand Big Split Pickups (Specs [url="http://www.nordstrandpickups.com/bass-pickups/index.shtml"]here[/url]) and Aguliar OBP3 pre-amp running at 18V (Specs [url="http://www.aguilaramp.com/products_preamps_obp3.htm"]here[/url])
Original pups included.

The not so good:
A couple of minor scratches to the finish - nothing below the finish though and pretty much unnoticeable unless you're looking for them.
When I had the electronics upgraded, the wires for the pre were left long in case I wanted to swap it out again. It works perfectly but visually it is not a pretty wiring job. If neat wiring is your thing I would expect a tech to charge £30/£40 to tidy it up or you could do it yourself if you're handy with a soldering iron.
[s]Could do with new strings if super zingy hi-fi tone is your thing.[/s] Now fitted with a brand new set of Dean Markley Rocco Prestia Sig Strings 45-125.

Pics don't do this justice. I was the previous owner and this bass is stunning to look at and I suspect the Nordstrands and Aguilar, I bet it sounds immense now.

Pics now added.
