Gone to bass direct to be sold!

 

 

Up for sale is this stunning MTD535 ‘Marilyn’. Amazing playability and a killer sound (the B string is immense) but the reality is that it’s just not getting used so it needs to go to a good home.

 

Here are some of the specs, which can also be seen in the official letter below.

 

-       Wenge neck with birds eye maple fingerboard.

-       Chambered alder body with a claro walnut top.

-       Buzz Feiten tuning system (for more accurate intonation)

-       35 inch scale 21 fret

-       Bartolini pick ups and preamp

-       Weight: (according to my scales approx 9.5lbs)

-       19m string spacing

 

It also comes with the official case.

 

 

The bass is in excellent condition and has been professionally set up last year. In the interest of transparency I have included some close up pictures of a couple of small marks on the bottom of the body. These obviously cannot be seen when playing the bass!

It's pretty special!

This will be up for another week before it goes to a shop to be sold.

I forgot to mention that the body is slightly thicker than you might expect. I assume this is to do with it being chambered. Hopefully the picture below will help to clarify. Also in case you didn't spot it the very thin purple line between the top wood and the body is a whole other type of wood!
