marnie01 Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Hello people. My name is Martin and I am new at this foreum. I live in the Netherlands, so if my Englis is a bit confusing or bad at some times, please forgive me. I am very much in love with the MTD KZ5, but I cannot find a lot of info on the internet about this bass. I have played it a couple of times and i really like it, but IF I buy it I have to trade 3 basses (2 squier and 1 handmade old "sugarbelly" Jazzbass) for it. I know that it is up to me and that buying an instrument is very personel, but I would really like some feedback from my colleague-bass players I hope you will help me out. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ashevans09 Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Heya, welcome to the forum Can't say I know much about them other than they look lovely, and Mike's output is usually very high. Here's a direct link to what Bubinga5 recommended: [url="http://reviews.harmony-central.com/reviews/Electric+Bass/product/MTD/Kingston+Z5/10/1"]http://reviews.harmony-central.com/reviews...ingston+Z5/10/1[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverfoxnik Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 I've had 4 Mike Tobias basses over the years and they've all been excellent.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brave Sir Robin Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 (edited) The Z5 has got a good reputation on TB. afaik, it's a bass you'll find mainly on the US market. The recurring comment is that it is a bit thin sounding, which could be a problem in a band context. another review [url="http://www.bassplayer.tv/"]http://www.bassplayer.tv/[/url] at the bottom of the gear preview section.
