[quote name='Roland Rock' timestamp='1397458194' post='2423976'] Btw, re. picture above holding the green Bongo - you look different to how I would have imagined you, should I have ever tried to imagine you (prior to seeing that picture) [/quote] Was waiting for a comment like that. You'd expect an ugly, depressed, old, bald, fat bloke wouldn't you? Well, you'd be right. She OTOH is a friend of mine, and a real woman despite the slightly androgynous look on this here pic.

BassTractor Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Wow! I liked that MTD. It gave me the impression of being, for lack of a better word, consistent with itself in the different design elements and use of wood and colour. That Ray, since it's called Tango, does it have Tangerine Pearl as a colour? Different pics of that colour are sooo wildly different that I have no chance of guessing.

GrammeFriday Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 (edited) Thanks! Yes, I also think the MTD is very harmonious, aesthetically. And it feels and sounds even better than it looks. I am really addicted to the asymmetrical necks on these things - so comfortable to play. And it is definitely the funkiest and grooviest sounding bass I have ever played. Just love it. Yes indeed, Tangerine Pearl. And yes, impossible to pin down in photographs. I know pretty much any bass/colour looks better in the flesh, but here the cliche really is true. Perhaps we should start a new thread - eye-poppingly colourful basses of the world unite! Edited April 21, 2014 by GrammeFriday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neepheid Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 The only two I have right now are: G&L El Toro G&L Tribute M-2000 I suppose any black bodied Gibson with a traditional headstock is cheating - as the fact that they match is a coincidence? Be that as it may: Gibson G-3 Epiphone Les Paul (Not So) Standard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fleabag Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 (edited) [quote name='Meddle' timestamp='1397163108' post='2421454'] What great mystery is this? The body is from a Vintage V4 "Reissue". The neck is from the Internet (I don't remember the retailer). The most noteworthy bit of this bass is the wee switch below the pickups. It activates a hidden Wilkinson J pickup buried in the body under the 24th fret position. I think the switch brings it in parallel with the main pickup. I bolstered the pickup with extra magnets to try and extend the range of the pickup up to the strings. Dig; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7IcTOnIfmOY I''m planning to repeat the exercise with a Warman Dominator pickup on a new project bass. [/quote] Whats the thinking behind sticking a 6 string leccy guitar pup in a bass ? Edited August 18, 2014 by icastle Link Fixed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
