Words simply don't do this bass the justice it deserves, but hopefully pictures will help!

 

The tone is crazy, unlike anything I've ever played. Super versatile, juicy as hell and slaps like a mother, but also cuts through a mix in a very tasteful way. The ash neck give it a warmer tone compared to maple neck MTDs. The Birdseye fingerboard needs to be seen. The sassafras top is a piece of art in itself.

This was bought new at Bass Direct and just recently got it as part of a trade. Beautiful bass but I'm more of a jazz bass guy myself.

 

Looking for a straight sale. Only exceptions being an alder body Stenback 5 and might consider an alder MTD 535 or a Fender Pino Palladino CS.

 

You can get all the details on it here:

It's in absolutely mint condition, no dings or anything.

You could have supremely low action as it's setup at the moment if that's your thing. 

You can hear the bass on this track, verse 2 is the most 'raw' bass tone in the track:
