CameronJ Posted June 22, 2019 Posted June 22, 2019 (edited) Price dropped to £600 as I have my eye on something else! Trade value remains at £750 though. A somewhat reluctant sale. There’s a reason you don’t see these for sale often! This is a bit of a tone chameleon - 2 big MM style humbuckers, independently switchable between series, parallel and single coil. 3 band EQ and an asymmetric neck profile which is incredibly comfortable. 35” scale. 19mm string spacing at the bridge. Weighs 4.2kg / 9lbs 4oz In very good condition, though has some slight tarnishing to the top of the bridge & knobs, and a few light surface scratches which I’ve tried to photograph. Collection/meet up in and around London preferred, though I may be willing to travel a bit further for the right deal. I’ve also now sourced a good quality gig bag and box for shipping, so that’s an option too. Edited September 2, 2020 by CameronJ 9
silverfoxnik Posted June 22, 2019 Posted June 22, 2019 Wow, never seen one of these before!! That's a lot of pick up action.. 😊 I used to have a couple of MTD basses back in the day and they were two of the most comfortable 5 string basses to play that I've ever had. Super lightweight too and sounded great.. GLWTS 1
Reggaebass Posted June 22, 2019 Posted June 22, 2019 Very nice Cameron , I don’t think this will be here long, GLWYS 🙂 1 1
Risk101 Posted June 22, 2019 Posted June 22, 2019 Lovely. What would the weight and string spacing be on this beauty?

It’s quite light but I’ll need to weigh it properly to be certain. Will get back to you on that - my scales need new batteries! String spacing is 19mm.
CameronJ Posted June 22, 2019 Author Posted June 22, 2019 Scales revived. It weighs 4.2kg or 9lbs 4oz
Risk101 Posted June 23, 2019 Posted June 23, 2019 Lovely - string space too wide for me though. Good luck with the sale it’s gonna make someone very happy! Have a free bump 👍 1
visog Posted July 7, 2019 Posted July 7, 2019 (edited) If I didn't have five, I'd jump at this... Beautiful bass, and way-cool pick-up mojo there... Oodles of bass for the money. Is it 35" and Buzzy Feiten intonation? Edited July 7, 2019 by visog

Oodles of bass for the money. Is it 35" and Buzzy Feiten intonation? You know you want to To answer your questions, yes to all of the above. It plays so well but I’ve become a bit of a P and J convert in the past year or so. Though it should be noted that with the coil switching, putting both pups in single coil mode basically gives you a Jazz bass anyway!
Exile252 Posted July 16, 2019 Posted July 16, 2019 Oh man, this is beautiful! I'm not normally a fan of maple fretboards on basses, but I'm making an exception for this beauty! I hope this sells soon for you, so I can stop gawping at it 1

CameronJ Posted August 4, 2019 Author Posted August 4, 2019 Price dropped to £650 as I have my greedy eye on something else 1
Freaklight Posted August 6, 2019 Posted August 6, 2019 If I was living in UK I would have bought it within a second! GLWTS! 1
visog Posted August 25, 2019 Posted August 25, 2019 OMG - what a beautiful bass. How much bang for the buck is this? Those double-bucks are going to deliver serious phat. GLWTS
BringdafunkBradley Posted November 11, 2019 Posted November 11, 2019 stunning bass man, Would you be willing to ship to edinburgh?
Badgerbass Posted February 5, 2020 Posted February 5, 2020 Hi 🙂 Is this still available? If so, the surface scratches you mention, are they just the ones in image of the top horn / shoulder? Are there others?

If so, the surface scratches you mention, are they just the ones in image of the top horn / shoulder? Are there others? Hello! Yes, the bass is still available, however I’m currently away from home on tour. I haven’t played the bass since the above photos were taken so what you see in the images is exactly the condition the bass is in. The surface scratches on the top horn are the most severe on the instrument - there are probably a few lighter ones elsewhere on the rear of the bass (unavoidable on a satin finish to be fair) but they are very hard to see. They certainly aren’t visible in the photos I’ve taken! I’d need quite specific lighting and a higher quality camera than the one on my iPhone for them to show up.
SzunaP Posted February 7, 2020 Posted February 7, 2020 650 £ really??? Original MTD? I don't know MTD models very well, but what I've seen so far they had 4 digit price minimum...

CameronJ Posted July 27, 2020 Author Posted July 27, 2020 Bump - I now have a bass-sized box so postage may be an option once I manage to source a suitable gig bag!
Cuzzie Posted July 27, 2020 Posted July 27, 2020 Someone defo needs to jump on this, and he is a well good chap as well 1
