Josh Posted December 24, 2008 Author Share Posted December 24, 2008 (edited) 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 ^_^ . Edited December 24, 2008 by Josh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcgraham Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 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. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark[/quote] 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 .

mcgraham Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 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.

Mark[/quote] 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

molan Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 Forgot to say earlier that I've had a brief play on this round at Josh's and it really is beautiful & lovely to play.

It's not worth it IMO. A 5 string 60's Jazz would be tempting though Edited December 29, 2008 by Josh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 , it'll be worth more then when you bought haha, minus the j-retro of course.
