MTD NAMM 2007

What the people who know nothing about bass don't realize is that the reason he keeps playing the same note over and over is to quickly get a good idea of how changing the EQ affects the tone. This video means a lot more to tone freaks than it does to people wanting insane shows of skill.

great basses

[dillikins]

I actually like the fact that Hassan doesn't blurt out a bunch of licks. He just listens to the tone of the bass and checks out the tonal possibilities.  He already knows he can play!

[lowfreq65]

is that ICE -T playing bass?

[basslabd]

LOL there is somewhat of a resemblance isn't there?

[thewanderer4865]

mike tobias is a cousin of mine- it's weird to see his stuff on youtube.

[HammondB200]

basslabd, why do you make so much fuss about a hater on youtube, there millions of those on youtube, don't spend time on them, they like it

[freedok]

Piezo systems give the instrument an acoustic sound. They're great for jazz or unplugged style venues but not so great if you like to slap & pop.

[LokiNTB]

Where is the pick-up on that bass he gave to the guy?

[aurian4parker]

Pretty much in the bridge

[Justino08]

[radmin2]

Piezo saddles are in the bridge.

[judey2008]

That's what it was! Damn, I couldn't quite see what was so odd about the bass...

I love the sound of it. So nice... Yummy. I own an MTD 535 and I love it. Mike T is the god of all luthiers.

[VirgilsDesire]

Hey man, I met you at NAMM, I was the guy from Philly who was singing along with you and your friend while you guys were playing motown. I did not know that you were just taking delivery of your new axe. You let me play it also. You are truly blessed and generous. Virgil

[creativeape]

[steyrcaephus]

Basses! So nicely designed. Pure jealousy!
