MTD Zephyr basses?
« on: August 30, 2006, 08:51:55 PM »
Has anyone tried out the new MTD Z4 or Z5 basses?  I'm eyeing one of these real hard.  They look great but the nearest store that sells them is over 100 miles away.

I tried one of these and and I loved it. Fast neck, and that famous MTD slap and pop sound!!! Not the American version but its great!! I thought long and hard about getting one (Still thinking), but I just couldn't do it at the time. There is a place is Baton Rouge, LA that sells them for $999 which is fairly decent. here's a link:

AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW GOOD CHOICE THEY ARE REAL CLOSE TO THE WAY MY TOBIAS SOUND ON THE POST.
SAME WEIGHT, SAME PICK UPS, WOOD IS DIFFERENT BUT BODY IS STILL TOP QUALITY THE WAY MICHEAL SETS THE ELECTRONICS IS WHAT MAKES THE BASS STAND OUT. TRY THE MTD WEBSITE THEY MIGHT HAVE SOME AUDIO SAMPLES

I really like the way they look, but I must play one to see how they feel and sound.

Yeah we both love our Schecters, but I need something that will produce more slap and pop sound.

My boy from Bass BootCamp just bought one and he said he loved it.  For me it would be an even trade.  I'm trying to get the American 635.  I don't believe that make MTD Zs in 6 string.

I'll have one by March...I'm believe God and saving my money.  I may have to wait for a while but I'll have one eventually.  I don't want another bass that I will be coveting others basses.  Like WoW...that's nice!  No, I'll save and get my own. ;) :D

A 6 string Z is supposed to be coming in a few monthes.  Do a search over on talkbass.com in the "bass guitars" section.  There's a pretty big thread covering alot of info on these basses.

I had my heart set on getting one until I found the deal on my Carvin.  If/When the 6-string lefty's are in production, I may just have to get one since I've been wanting a 6'er for a while  :)

i want one as well.  I want one as well and if there were one at the local shop I would pick it up.  I just want to get the feel of the bass before I do anything like buying a 1K bass. 

I would trade my schecter if the MTD was comfortable enough and had a great sound.

WHAT?!!?!?!!?! *faints*


 ;D lol, jk man.  I'd probably be willing to part with my Shector as well if the MTD was nice enough (it'd have to be a 6'er though).


God Bless

Goodness, that is a pretty wide fretboard!! :o I don't play 6 strings but if I did, I probably go with something with tighter string spacing since I wouldn't be 'slapping' on it!
