[size=3][b]635-24 MTD Bass Guitar 6 string Michael Tobias Design USA, handmade [/b][/size]£2,950 [size=3]For sale; a 6 string MTD bass guitar, hand built in USA my Michael Tobias. It has 24 frets and a 35” scale length for a great B string. It’s an Ash body with buckeye burl top and matching headstock. The neck is maple with birds eye maple fingerboard. The bass is in excellent condition and has no marks or dings, and only slight signs of wear from a few careful hours of playing at home studio - never gigged, and always ended up playing my other basses to keep this one pristine. This is a very special bass indeed. Comes completed with MTD hard case. [/size] [size=3][font=Helvetica Neue][color=#232323]Bass is located in Folkestone, Kent, UK. But happy to ship fully insured throughout the EU. Looking for straight sale, price is firm, or trade with cash my way please. More photos soon, any questions just give me a PM.[/color][/font] [color=#232323][b]Link[/b] to previous listing for this time last year where it was £3,700:[/color][/size] [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/258485-traded-%26-9733%3B%26-9733%3B%26-9733%3B-showroom-mtd-635-%26-9733%3B%26-9733%3B%26-9733%3B/page__p__2731698__hl__mtd__fromsearch__1#entry2731698"]http://basschat.co.u..._1#entry2731698[/url] [size=3][b]Link[/b] to pictures:[/size] [url="http://s1379.photobucket.com/user/musashimonkey/library/MTD%20635-24"]http://s1379.photobu...ry/MTD%20635-24[/url] [size=3][b]Spec:[/b][/size] [size=3]The body is ash with a buckeye burl top. The neck is maple with a bird’s eye maple fingerboard. This bass also has special side dot material from Luminlay, the glowing dots can be activated with the LED provided. This bass is delivered with the revolutionary Buzz Feiten Tuning system. This system will show a great improvement in tuning when playing chords and when working with a keyboard and horns.[/size] [size=3]This bass is 35" scale with 24 frets. The neck and body are hand finished with an epoxy base coat and catalyzed urethane topcoat. This should make a great feeling and durable finish. Upkeep on the finish is simple. It can be cleaned and polished with any high quality guitar polish. The truss rod is a true double acting rod and will adjust in both directions. It is adjustable with a 4mm Allen wrench.[/size] [size=3]The pick-ups and active electronics are custom made by Bill Bartolini. The controls are: master volume and a pan pot, treble, mid, bass cut and boost, with center click (from neck to bridge). The three position switch selects the mid range cut and boost point. Down is lower mids (250); center is middle (500) and up is upper mids (1000). When the mid pot is at center click, the switch has minimal effect. This eq has 2 batteries and is a +/- 9 volt system. Be especially careful not to change the batteries when the bass is plugged in. There is a trim pot inside the control cavity to adjust the gain.[/size]

Has anyone compared a BF BB2 with a Vanderkley 115MN6?

[quote name='dave_bass5' timestamp='1464377742' post='3059069'] As long as the speakers aren't blue. That's seems to be a dark, woolly colour ;-) [/quote] There could well be something to this, yellow, blue, red; maybe the psycho acoustic aspects of the brains interpretation of sound are more affected by unconscious prejudices over aesthetics or expectations than we think. I'm sure that lots of research has been completed on football teams coloured strips and politicians ties etc, maybe these principles cross over into this area too? -

[quote name='EBS_freak' timestamp='1464349770' post='3058706'] Why would I? A certain cab manufacturer tells me they are wholly unreliable anyway. [/quote] Fair enough. I know what you mean. It is a shame that manufacturers of cabs and amps tend to use different metrics and standards for reporting data. I wish a standard approach could be used for a more accurate comparison on paper; then of course backed up by personal experience as things tend to translate differently in the real world. -

[quote name='sunburstjazz1967' timestamp='1464349853' post='3058708'] What's that got to do with anything? [/quote] He stated that those were the reasons why he didn't like the cabs, I was just curious if there was any data that could be shared, or if it was based on personal opinion. Both valid, I was genuinely interested. -

SOLD: Tritonlabs Bass FET Overdrive effects pedal £79
Musashimonkey replied to Musashimonkey's topic in Effects For Sale
Just to say that this is as new, never hugged (edit: 'gigged' - it's obviously had plenty of hugs) - I can't find a flaw on it. This pedal is based on jFET transistors with an operating voltage of 33 volts (Step-Up converter to 33 volts inside, so you only need to supply it with 9v, it does the rest). This high voltage is necessary to obtain a good dynamic characteristics of guitar signal. Many guitar pedals using 9 volts, but with this voltage is not possible to get a good dynamic sound. The use of jFET transistors allowed to enrich the sound of the even harmonics. This makes it sound like a tube preamp and a good signal / noise ratio. All transistors are carefully selected by parameters. -
