ur funny jeremy. did think that U were gonna start the thread.
personally i could care less about an MTD, unless the new ones start coming with several months rent checks signed my Michael Tobais himself, then i may consider. I'd rather the landlord come knockin on my door because im boomin the bass too loud, rather than because i owe rent because i bought the bass thats boomin too loud. But if u got it, to each his own.
Many of us, well i'll speak for myself, wont go on tour, play in huge concerts, be a well known recording bassist, or what have you. I just play for our local church and happy doing so for the Lord, and even though i could drop cash on one, that would just be overkill for a group of people who sometimes still ask me if thats an "electric guitar or a bass". LOL. i would rather be one of those players good enough to make a $100 bass sound good, and if i could do that then why do i need to buy a $4000 one?
reminds me of a car. if i just need one to get where i need to go and back, why should i buy a mercedes for all the features they hype in the commercials, when all i need is a cool and stylish honda or toyota?
just like that last MTD vs Smith forum topic, it went on for what seemed like forever. i was like, it aint that serious. especially if most of the people goin the hardest about it dont even have one. once again i could care less. just ranting here. not denying the craftsmanship and quality, but its just not my cup of tea. and all of them dont even look all that hot anyway. to me some of them look like an eyesore, so u just playin it for the name. (maybe i should get one of them then. i'll hate lookin at it so much, i'll learn to play without lookin at my hands. LOL)
