[quote name='birdy' post='62930' date='Sep 20 2007, 12:46 AM']The temporary insanity has disappeared and this is no longer for sale, sorry. What WAS I thinking of!!! Steve[/quote] I was thinking the same thing... I was lucky enough to have that bass lended to me temporarily by bassaussie, and I was blown away by it. great bass. -
Jeeeesus... Some people here have got to learn some forum ettiquete... Either way, I guess I best just pull this sale as whatever chance I had of makin honest business here is gone... after reading half of what was posted here by people who had absolutely no interest in the sale other than just wanting to spoil it, I probably wouldnt buy it. Oh well, its a great bass, and I'll just keep it rather than selling for a stupid price. At least it wont be up for sale in this forum, not actively anyway. I might consider selling to the right people, and if you're interested you can send me a PM, [b]I might consider trades for something like a Fender P or J[/b]. As to those that were bringing the sale down, If you were uninterested in the bass, you shouldnt have posted. If you were interested in the bass but just wanted to rock the boat to see if I'd drop it (stupid deal for me, great deal for you type thing), sorry, I dont play like that. Either way, consider this topic closed.

[quote name='minty fresh death' post='67189' date='Sep 28 2007, 11:57 PM']Don't mean to be an ass but... You do realize that you could buy a brand new Heir from the US, pay about the same p&p and then you get to choose the color for a very similar price, if not less?[/quote] Does it come with a seymour duncan preamp and pup? either way, they are different basses. to have room for the J pup, the MM pup is closer to the bridge, so its a different sound anyway. besides, you're not counting on import expenses at customs... Any lower than what I think Its worth, I'd rather Keep it. thanks for the interest anyway. cheers.

The Jazz is gone. The MTD is still up for grabs, If you're interested, make me an offer.

[quote name='BassBunny' post='62721' date='Sep 19 2007, 03:29 PM']Bump for the MTD. I have got the next model up with the J/MM conbination and it is amazing. The 35" scale really does help the B string. MTD'd don't seem to be as popular as they could be. Probably because it doesn't have MusicMan/Fender/Lakland etc on the headstock. If someone buys this they will not be disappointed. Did you have any problems putting the pre-amp in, (enough room)? I am considering a Bart pre for mine. Stuart[/quote] hey Stuart. No problems with space for the preamp... actually I freaked out when I opened the compartment for the first time. the previous owner had the preamp on the 36v Option, and he did a "Puzzle-tastic" job of managing to fit 4 9v batteries in there with the preamp. I didnt see any need for the 36v, as it has enough raw power with 9v, so I removed the extra batteries, leaving PLENTY of breathing room. it is a shame we are so stuck to certain brands... MTD along with other less mainstream brands get ignored most of the time. the scale is fantastic by the way, GREAT Low B. very focused and tight in sound. since I'm laying it all out today, lol, might as well mention that this bass has had a pro-setup by a local luthier friend of mine. By pro-setup I mean the whole enchilada, pulled apart, cleaned, fret dressing, and only then, the typical truss and saddle setup. cant get better than this...
-
Ppl, make me some offers (not including trades please)... I may be tempted... the end is near. HUMP-THE-BUMP

[quote name='jhk' post='60228' date='Sep 14 2007, 07:47 AM']Can anyone advise me whats the best or the most reliable/practical versions of racklights.I don`t want the goose-neck type.I`ve heard the behringers are not great either. Prefer the single horizontal type rather than extendable bulb holders(if that makes sense). Maybe someone has the old `trace` type for sale. All I know is that I`m struggling to see the graduations and print around my amp knobs and switches in poor lighting(probably `cos I`m an old git and in denial) Thanks in anticipation jhk[/quote] I use the lights on the behringer BTR2000, no problems so far...

[quote name='FretBuzz' post='59522' date='Sep 12 2007, 08:37 PM']I am a long-term 4-string player, but I am curious about the 5-string world. My only 5-string experience was with a Yamaha TRBII 5 and I found the neck way too wide for me. I guess I am asking which 5-string has the narrowest neck? Ideally, no wider that a 4-string neck - I don't mind the string spacing being very close. What should I be looking at? Does it exist?[/quote] Curious... usually the biggest problem 4players have when jumping to 5's is that the string spacing is too close... to me, the wider the string spacing the easier it is to get all my techniques flowing without hindrance. my MTD Kingston 5 (that I'm selling) was great for me to get around it with its 19mm at the bridge.

No interest in these? UPDATED Prices: Jazz - 300 £ + P&P MTD - 380 £ + P&P

[quote name='dood' post='58147' date='Sep 10 2007, 12:39 PM']*SNIP* Or go the whole hog and have the MM pup AND the P pup. Now there's some tones I'd like to hear! *SNIP*[/quote] Precisely! that's what I'm building (more like putting together, with a lot of hard work) at the moment. The base is a P-body, holes (Not Split-P holes) filled and re-routed for a Sandberg like PM configuration, topped off with a Jazz neck and a clear Stingray pickguard. I'm hoping it will have some major ballsies for those thumpier sounds we crave.
-
With the trade coming along sooner than I anticipated, theres "some" urgency in selling, so, prices are negotiable, make me an offer privately, and I'll consider it. either by PM or msn (iamnotanumber_02[@]hotmail.com) only, no trades, as I need the cash for the new purchase.

[quote name='BassManKev' post='57446' date='Sep 8 2007, 05:49 PM']id say euros, considering the mtd's are aroun $600 new[/quote] nope, pounds. both basses are in excelent condition and the MTD comes with the SD active preamp and pup, something you dont have in the new ones. [b]I've checked out the price a bit better...[/b] Considering the 600usd as the new price, I've removed 20% and added the price of the preamp (STC-3M4) and the basslines pickup, which have only recently been added... 380£ Still, if you're interested and wanna make me an offer, by all means do. VIA PM though. thanks.
-
Hey guys, yeah they're both good basses and I'm sad to see them go, but I'm looking forward to my new aquisition. I'd Like to get about 340 for the jazz and 400 for the MTD. + p&p. Drop me a pm if you're interested. thx, Dave.

I dont know the exact string spacing, but my MTD Kingston 5 has really wide stringspacing... it sounds like a musicman, but its not stock, it's had a replacement pickup and preamp from seymourduncan basslines... sounds awesome really .

[quote name='bass_ferret' post='53128' date='Aug 31 2007, 08:54 AM']Anyone owned/tried both? Whats the difference (apart from 50 watts)?[/quote] To my ears the Fafner is grittier, rockier, while the td650 is more Hifi sounding.

Its funny that there is always a Faction war when Flea's name pops up... tastes will differ... Technically, he isnt the best, and I think comparing bassplayers is stupid, as each has his own style of playing... However, he has his signature sound which people will either love or hate... but add to that his entertainer's streak... I mean, not many people can play as he does and jump around like that... He's pure energy, and he passes that on to the audience like none I've ever seen. He's the reason that I got into bassplaying, and I'm proud of my roots. his work on BSSM was divine inspiration for me. I learned a lot through hearing him play when I started out.
