Honestly, IMHO, MTD is the best bass around... period! Mike Tobias sets the standard for excellence among luthiers. If you are on the fence about buying a custom bass, trust me, treat yourself to a custom MTD. YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED. Mike knows wood so well that all you have to do is describe the sound you want and he'll do the rest.

MTD4LYFE!!!

God bless ;)

fLaT-fIfTh,

Let me get on my knees right now, asking GOD for my blessing in advance. OMG, that MTD is a beauty! Yes, I too am a big fan of Michael Tobias. I play 5 string and can't wait for the day I can put a call in or visit the MTD site to place my custom order!

I actually like the look before the stain had been applied, but still your bass in gorgeous! I hope you don't find this rude, but we all are Christians, right? How much did your MTD cost you and how long did it take Michael to start and finish? And does Michael make each ordered MTC bass personally himself?

Again, I hope by my asking the damage wasn't an out of line question. YOu see, I gotta know exactly what I'm asking GOD for; you know, lol... For we have not cause we ask not....

Wassup Doc? I don't mind the questions. Mike actually has pricing info on his website here. http://www.mtdbass.com/pages/MTD.html

Unfortunately, his prices have gone up since I ordered. However, I would still pay it in a heartbeat because I truly believe in his products. In fact, I may grab another 635 with a totally different wood identity. His build time is about 8 months out right now. I just ordered a fretless 635 in December and Mike gave me a delivery date this Summer.
Mike touches every bass! I'm sure this contributes to long delivery times...

LOL... Man, are you kidding? You already have a crazy collection "Mr. Roscoe" ;D

I had to hit up Mike to add more custom specs to my fretless after seeing what he built for Pete Skjold!!!!! :o :o :o :o

Beautiful Bass, I hope you enjoy it. However its the Bart PUPS that make all MTD's MTD's.  As apposed to Ken Smith, His sound is genuine, with his own PUPS. And they sound like Butter. Don't get me wrong, MTD's sound like Butter too.  To me Ibanez makes the BTB with the same Bart PUPS that Mike uses and that BTB sounds just like the MTD for 1/3 the cost for MTD's. If your thing is the comfort of having a MTD, its all good, but if you wan't the sound, the truth be told, you can get many basses with those Bart PUPs and make it sound like a MTD, but that Ken Smith can't be imitated. Now I don't have a Ken Smith, thats just my 2 cents I play a Peavey Cirruss which does not compare to niether the MTD or Smith. Nevertheless Nice Bass....
