d-basser Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 (edited) I bought this a while back from bassbunny: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=25482&hl=mtd"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=25482&hl=mtd[/url] Whilst she is lovely I have recently bought a Sei and want to tinker the electronics so have to get some cash together. Spec'd as said in the link, 35"scale MM and J pups (I recently shielded the cavities cause I was bored) Bartolini pre, the mid switch in particular is great on this recently strung with mid gauge DR lo-riders, only played a little, nigh on new. and fitted with a Dimarzio 3" cliplock strap for piece of mind and comfort. Will supply with original preamp and strap-buttons as well. Looking for what I paid: £375 +p&p. or pickup in Glasgow (I am willing to get a train if you are in the central Scotland area but I expect a coffee or pint when I arrive ). I dont have a hard case for this so I can either pack it well with lots of padding, double boxed etc or I can sell you the case I got with my Sei, it is a nice solid rectangular hard case that should keep it safe. £400 +p&p with case. PM me with questions, not really open to offers or trades unless you have an ACG pre and some Nordstrand 6 string dual coils (or something akin to these, I know it is a longshot), would also maybe consider speaker cabs depending what you got to offer.

spacecowboy Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Without taking the mick in anyway, i have wanted one of these for soooo long, *i think i may have winged on to Mike about this at one point so he should be able to back me up* but he'd probably also back me up on the fact i can't stand sunburst finishes.... but god damn that maple board *drool* ..... if i can convince the guys at work to spray paint the body white you may be on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d-basser Posted February 2, 2009 Author Share Posted February 2, 2009 thanks for the nice words, Spacecowboy: hopefully a respray can be arranged cos I would like this to go to a loving home.

Owen Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 I have owned more great basses than I care to admit to publically (Sei, US + Korean Lak, US MTD etc [I have issues!]) The Korean MTD is the most comfortable bass I have ever owned. The neck is a dream. It is as light as a feather. If I could think of a way of justifying this I would, but I am slowly calming down. I no longer own all the aforementioned basses but do own and use regularly my Korean MTD. I cannot say too many good things about these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d-basser Posted February 2, 2009 Author Share Posted February 2, 2009 I love this bass too but I am six string man at the moment and my Sei needs new pickups to do her justice so this one has to leave the fold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I still miss them especially the 2 p/u model like this one. The playability of these basses is unbelievable and the definition on the low B is excellent.. better in fact than the Lakland DJ5 Skyline I had which cost nearly 3 times as much.. Anyway, just wanted to chime in with my 2p worth.. Good luck with the sale! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d-basser Posted February 2, 2009 Author Share Posted February 2, 2009 the low B is better than my Sei's but only the second best I have heard...Dingwall rule that region. but the comfort and playability you speak of is so true and it such a versatile beast with the new pre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexlotta Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Tasty stuff,if they would be 34"(damn my short hands) i would snap one of them ,i'm sure they are far more than worth for the price . .. also the action look really awesome from the first pic. Here in italy they are insanely high on price actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rootn5th Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 This is a great bass, folks........I know, I used to OWN it!! I sold it to BassBunny and he added the new electronics.........probably sounds even better now. I would still own it but i have no use for a 5 string anymore. Good luck with the sale!
