therealting Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 (edited) Beautiful Michael Tobias-designed 5-string fretless, crafted in the Czech Republic. Sold as the “Stadium” model for the Bass Centre. These are very nicely made, and both play and sound great. I would say condition is pretty good, there are playing marks (and gloss black is pretty unforgiving of fingerprints etc). - I think it’s a poplar body. Lovely sculpted shape including a beautiful heel contour - maple neck with unlined 2-octave wenge fingerboard and matching headstock facing - black hardware - Schaller tuners, Hipshot bridge - 34” scale, 18.5mm spacing - Bartolini J pickups - Bartolini 2-band electronics, plus three-way mid switch (boost / flat / cut). One of the knobs appears to be missing a cap. - currently strung with Dunlop flatwounds - setup and custom ebony ramp by Martin Petersen at The Bass Gallery, plenty of mwah! This is a lightweight bass (3.9kg) and balances very well on a strap. Little demo here, please forgive the playing! Pickup blend centered, EQ flat, mid boost off. https://www.dropbox.com/s/f7aar3tct5gfqu3/MTD Grendel Demo.mp3?dl=0 Collection preferred from London SE3. I have some other stuff for sale here, would certainly be tempted by upward trades for more than one item.

therealting Posted June 9, 2018 Author Share Posted June 9, 2018 (edited) Bump. Interesting trades considered, particularly a Noble preamp or a medium scale Precision... I have a few things listed so could combine for the right trade. Edited June 9, 2018 by therealting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinner Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 Great basses these, the bartolinis sound superb- great for a modern 'jazz bass' sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

therealting Posted November 18, 2018 Author Share Posted November 18, 2018 Still for sale. Only moving on because I’ve moved to electric upright for acoustic gigs, this is a stunning bass for the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
therealting Posted November 23, 2018 Author Share Posted November 23, 2018 Threw a little demo together for anyone wanting to hear it. EQ flat, mid-boost off, pickup blend centred between both pickups. Please don’t judge my fretless playing! https://www.dropbox.com/s/f7aar3tct5gfqu3/MTD Grendel Demo.mp3?dl=0 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
