87oclok Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 (edited) I am selling my mtd USA 634-24 in brand new condition. The bass had a list price of 6400 GBP and a street price of 5050 GBP. It is brand new but unfortunately the purchase and shipping, etc. took too long and I changed my mind. Now, I have to let it go this wonderful bass - your chance. Specs: . Redwood top . Swamp ash body . 34" hard ash neck with titanium bars . Hard maple fingerboard with illuminating side dots . Hip shot hardware . Bart PU's and Electronics I am asking for 3980 GBP The bass has a very funky timbre and a rock solid tone. No deadspots. Enormous sustain. Flexible, warm, silky, silvery studio class sound. Feel free to ask any questions. The bass comes incl. original mtd hard case (usually 290 GBP itself). Edited November 13, 2017 by 87oclok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikkoantt Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Does this have passive tone also? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87oclok Posted August 28, 2017 Author Share Posted August 28, 2017 Nope - but the bass sounds absolutely naturally - the 18 volts electronics has huge headroom and sounds unbelievable "passive-like"... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikkoantt Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Or is there piezomic in bridge? There is 6 control pots and these are volume,pan, bass, mid, treble and what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87oclok Posted August 28, 2017 Author Share Posted August 28, 2017 No piezomic PU. These are "just" customized Bartolini PU's with the following controls: Volume, Balance, Bass, Mids, Treb, some kind of "Presence"-poti... One poti is push pull to change the mid freq band. Here is some addional info from mtd directly: +++[color=rgba(112, 112, 112, 0.5)][font=proxima-nova][size=4] MTD Basses can be made to sound very "traditional" by cutting the mids all the way at 1000 (switch in top position), and boosting the bass and treble to 10 with the blend pot at center. This offers a great slap tone. [/size][/font][/color][color=rgba(112, 112, 112, 0.5)][font=proxima-nova][size=4] Boosting the mids at 250 ( switch in lower position), with bass at 10 and treble at 9-10 with the blend pot on the bridge pick up gives the early Bartolini TCT tone. This offers a very percussive finger tone. [/size][/font][/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikkoantt Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Can this "precens" pot be passive tone? In my Saratoga USA controls are just like yours, but bass and treble are stacked and there is that passive tone which works like "precense".

87oclok Posted August 28, 2017 Author Share Posted August 28, 2017 could be possible... but it has no passive option that I would have noticed so far... let me check... but sounds logical to me what you say... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
