d-basser Posted February 1, 2009 Posted February 1, 2009 (edited) I bought this a while back from bassbunny: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=25482&hl=mtd"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=25482&hl=mtd[/url] Whilst she is lovely I have recently bought a Sei and want to tinker the electronics so have to get some cash together. Spec'd as said in the link, 35"scale MM and J pups (I recently shielded the cavities cause I was bored) Bartolini pre, the mid switch in particular is great on this recently strung with mid gauge DR lo-riders, only played a little, nigh on new. and fitted with a Dimarzio 3" cliplock strap for piece of mind and comfort. Will supply with original preamp and strap-buttons as well. Looking for what I paid: £375 +p&p. or pickup in Glasgow (I am willing to get a train if you are in the central Scotland area but I expect a coffee or pint when I arrive ). I dont have a hard case for this so I can either pack it well with lots of padding, double boxed etc or I can sell you the case I got with my Sei, it is a nice solid rectangular hard case that should keep it safe. £400 +p&p with case. PM me with questions, not really open to offers or trades unless you have an ACG pre and some Nordstrand 6 string dual coils (or something akin to these, I know it is a longshot), would also maybe consider speaker cabs depending what you got to offer.

velvetkevorkian Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 God damn you have nice taste in basses. Wish I had the cash for this.
spacecowboy Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 Without taking the mick in anyway, i have wanted one of these for soooo long, *i think i may have winged on to Mike about this at one point so he should be able to back me up* but he'd probably also back me up on the fact i can't stand sunburst finishes.... but god damn that maple board *drool* ..... if i can convince the guys at work to spray paint the body white you may be on
d-basser Posted February 2, 2009 Author Posted February 2, 2009 thanks for the nice words, Spacecowboy: hopefully a respray can be arranged cos I would like this to go to a loving home. Velvet: if it doesnt shift I am in Glasgow, so if the cash manifest
Owen Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 I have owned more great basses than I care to admit to publically (Sei, US + Korean Lak, US MTD etc [I have issues!]) The Korean MTD is the most comfortable bass I have ever owned. The neck is a dream. It is as light as a feather. If I could think of a way of justifying this I would, but I am slowly calming down. I no longer own all the aforementioned basses but do own and use regularly my Korean MTD. I cannot say too many good things about these.
d-basser Posted February 2, 2009 Author Posted February 2, 2009 I love this bass too but I am six string man at the moment and my Sei needs new pickups to do her justice so this one has to leave the fold

But I still miss them especially the 2 p/u model like this one. The playability of these basses is unbelievable and the definition on the low B is excellent.. better in fact than the Lakland DJ5 Skyline I had which cost nearly 3 times as much.. Anyway, just wanted to chime in with my 2p worth.. Good luck with the sale!
d-basser Posted February 2, 2009 Author Posted February 2, 2009 the low B is better than my Sei's but only the second best I have heard...Dingwall rule that region. but the comfort and playability you speak of is so true and it such a versatile beast with the new pre
alexlotta Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 Tasty stuff,if they would be 34"(damn my short hands) i would snap one of them ,i'm sure they are far more than worth for the price . .. also the action look really awesome from the first pic. Here in italy they are insanely high on price actually.

BassBunny Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 [quote name='d-basser' post='400522' date='Feb 4 2009, 11:02 PM']CURRENTLY ON HOLD[/quote] So is it coming back to Manchester? Stunning Bass and the Bart pre-amp is really useful with the switchable Mid's. If Marvin wasn't such a fantastic Bass I would have this back in a flash.

Before i could send the PM, you'd bagged it.
rootn5th Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 This is a great bass, folks........I know, I used to OWN it!! I sold it to BassBunny and he added the new electronics.........probably sounds even better now. I would still own it but i have no use for a 5 string anymore. Good luck with the sale!
