[size=3][b]Spec:[/b][/size]
[size=3]The body is ash with a buckeye burl top. The neck is maple with a bird’s eye maple fingerboard. This bass also has special side dot material from Luminlay, the glowing dots can be activated with the LED provided. This bass is delivered with the revolutionary Buzz Feiten Tuning system. This system will show a great improvement in tuning when playing chords and when working with a keyboard and horns.[/size]

[size=3]This bass is 35" scale with 24 frets. The neck and body are hand finished with an epoxy base coat and catalyzed urethane topcoat. This should make a great feeling and durable finish. Upkeep on the finish is simple. It can be cleaned and polished with any high quality guitar polish. The truss rod is a true double acting rod and will adjust in both directions. It is adjustable with a 4mm Allen wrench.[/size]

[size=3]The pick-ups and active electronics are custom made by Bill Bartolini. The controls are: master volume and a pan pot, treble, mid, bass cut and boost, with center click (from neck to bridge). The three position switch selects the mid range cut and boost point. Down is lower mids (250); center is middle (500) and up is upper mids (1000). When the mid pot is at center click, the switch has minimal effect. This eq has 2 batteries and is a +/- 9 volt system. Be especially careful not to change the batteries when the bass is plugged in. There is a trim pot inside the control cavity to adjust the gain.[/size]

I'm interested in straight sale or partial trades. I'm pretty open minded on what, but I am picky too though. I would also need to have cash coming my way though please (otherwise I would not be contemplating moving this magnificent bass on).

Stunning!
I'm on the market for a 5 string from an other maker and I'm set in the six string department so "fortunately" this is not for me (wish it was) but this one is one of the finest example of a MTD that I've ever seen. I'm sure it sounds the way it looks.
Good luck and have a free bump!

On HOLD for a week or so....

[Musashimonkey]
