  1. Kingstons tend to be 35" scale, except for the Saratoga which is 34". MTD's can be either (535 = 35" 5 string, 634 = 34" 6 string). I know he prefers the 35" scale when working with a low B, but MTDs are custom built, so they do crop up as 34" and 35" spec; though he tends to know what works and builds to that, meaning they are much more standardised than say Fodera or other customer luthiers that let you play with every aspect of specification. This way you always know you are getting a great MTD, and the woods really play a role...

  2. Hi, yeah, pretty similar in my experience. Save the bridge placement. On the 35" scale Kingston's the bridge isn't as close to the end of the body as they are on the MTD's this makes the first fret feel about another inch away. Other than that they have very similar ergonomics, and share the asymmetrical neck etc. Nice basses, though the USA MTD's have something wonderful.

  3. danovici03 just bought my Mayonnes Jabba with a superb and flawless transaction. I know he's relatively new here at the moment, but he really is a great basschatter. Excellent communications, very friendly and an all round great guy. He's got other friends on the forum and clearly has great taste in basses. Trade in confidence folks, he gets my recommendation.

  4. Up for a quick sale is a fantastic Mayonnes Jabba Custom 5.

    In superb condition with all its vintage Silver glory. It's 34.24" scale and 19mm string spacing. Bass is located in Kent, happy to ship insured at cost.

    Only moving this on as I now feel more comfortable on narrower string spacing.

    I will get round to taking my own photos and do a full listing, but for now, here's a link to the previous listing:

  5. I've got mine at the end of the chain, just prior to the amp input. My thinking is that I didn't want additional subs being created by OD pedals etc... so it's a last stop signal clean up before going into the amp.

    Happy with it and can run with my master a little lower, it's compact too, so it'll stay!
