Aussiephoenix Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 (edited) These are my babies: [b]Fender Jazz Bass "Classic 60's" (Custom)[/b] My first "real bass"... tried to sell it a bunch of times when gassing for other gear, but I'm too sentimentally attached to it, simply cant follow through with it. Its got custom designed pups, Vol-BLEND-Tone and a Schaller 2000 Bridge [b]Esh Stinger V "Real Gothic" (Custom)[/b] This bass has history. used to be used on tours by my (ex)bass prof, in Portugal's most wellknown metal band "Moonspell". It was all beat up and cobwebbed in the corner, when jokingly, I offered my olp mm2 for trade, and the guy accepted. The black finish has been stripped, the Esh-tronics replaced with an Artec 3Band preamp. It's my main bass. [b]MTD Kingston 5 (Custom)[/b] This is my latest acquisition, it came with a Seymour Duncan Basslines SMD-5B Pickup and a STC-3M3 & STC-3M4 preamp (9-36v). It also has a coil tap 3way mini-switch.

Soulfinger Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 Hi! I know how you feel about that Jazz - I can´t bring myself to sell mine either. I don´t use it much, but it´s so nice to have around. Good deal on the Esh! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silverfoxnik Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 Nice looking basses! How do you find the MTD like for sound and playability? I had the passive model and it played great but the stock p/ups weren't too good. Great neck and a fantastic B' string! Nik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nik[/quote] Well, I absolutely love the neck. its nice and wide, but with a thin profile. very confortable for slap,etc, not cramped at all. I wouldnt know about the original electronics, as I already got this one with the SD stuff. Sounds great with it. it has a little of the musicman vibe, lots of low end, with crisp highs. I've only got it recently, so cant go too much in depth about it yet Edited June 23, 2007 by Aussiephoenix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trading an esh for an olp MM[/quote] well, He's just not one of those guys that would bother putting in the restoration work that the Esh required, And he liked the sound of my OLP to turn it into a fretless. ARGH, does it look better now or in its gothic state? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
