I do have a nice high end limited edition Warwick though :huh:[/quote]

Please say it's not a Corvette or any of the unsightly Warwicks?

If it's a Thumb or Streamer then colour me interested :huh: .

Right, for some reason I'm starting to gravitate towards the world of Laklands.

So any US Joe Osbourne 4/5 strings, 4-94 or 55-94 are also welcome as good trade bait ^_^ .

[quote name='mcgraham' post='364377' date='Dec 27 2008, 06:42 PM']Man, I would [i]love[/i] to take this off your hands, but I've got my Wood&Tronics arriving in January, and a wedding in August. Even if I could manage it, I couldn't justify it as I'm a one bass man. Shame, as I'd love an MTD one day.

I'm a little confused Mark, because you've said previously:

"I was contemplating getting an MTD when I was pooling resources for a custom. I was fortunate enough to get to try Ari's MTDs, and whilst they sounded good, they just weren't for me. Good for my wallet, not good in the sense that my illusions of them being great for me were let down."

I'll guess you've just really been getting into them again or your just very curious to how this one compares?

I'm just curious thats all :).

Apologies for any confusion I may have caused :)

I did like Ari's, but I'd built them up to extreme status in my head, that it was 'the holy grail', so it was sad when I realised it was *just* another well put together bass. I'm sure you know how it is... can't wait to try something, find out it's not all what you built it up to be, but find yourself wanting to acquire one given a bit more time.

No need to apologise :).

Well the same can be said for Sadowskys, in fact it's pretty much the same as you with Ari's other MTD's.

Also I'm afraid to say I may have actually sold this bass at last!

[quote name='mcgraham' post='364459' date='Dec 27 2008, 09:03 PM']That's great news! For both of us :) Congratulations!

You're looking to replace it with a spector yes?

Mark[/quote]

Actually, it shall be this very [url="http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/Roscoe_LG_3005_Flame_Maple_Ash.html"]LG 3005[/url], I've been quite infatuated with Roscoes for a while now. They are one of the counter brands to MTD, another one of the favoured Gospel brands.

A 60's Jazz dosen't exactly give a nice Hi-Fi Zingy tone unless you rip out the electronics and basically rob the bass of its worth. It's not worth it IMO.

A 5 string 60's Jazz would be tempting though :)

Jaco managed it!! :huh:

Anyway, if hi-fi and zingy is what you want (eeuuugh), then just drop a J-Retro into said 60's jazz, doesn't hurt the bass, keep the original gubbins obviously, problem solved!. Plus when you inevitably decide to sell it a year later like everything else :huh:, it'll be worth more then when you bought haha, minus the j-retro of course.

I don't really recall Jaco's tone as ever being Hi-Fi or Zingy at all. And also Jaco never changed the stock Pick-ups as far as I'm aware.

Still, I'd much prefer a Roscoe :huh:.

Just jumped in here. Is this still for sale for cash?

Thanks,

Bossajazz[/quote]

It might, just waiting for a reply.

Though I should also make it clear that I'm only selling this bass to the UK.
