im looking to get the fretless version of this do you know much about the fretless model? thanks for any help you can and have given me. sounds great man
that's some very funky stuff you are playing! very good indeed! it's a bit of a shame you sold this nice bass, but it you aren't happy enough with it, why keep it?
Awesome bass playing, my brother! Awesome bass playing, from your fellow bass player, Preacher Warren. Hey if you wanna see some of my bass playing go to my youtube channel or search "Preacher Warren playing the bass under the anointing." You can also check my other videos by searching "Preacher Warren". You can teach me some stuff. Love your stuff.
good stuff. what head and cab u coming out of? sounds a little muddy.... did you try using the original pick ups? they dont sound bad you know.... any how keep the works man!
That combination sounds a bit compressed but clear. The settings could have been tweeked at different positions to show a little more tonal possibilities however these are good upgrades.
I HELD THE SAME BASS GUITAR ONE TIME. THOSE THINGS ARE FREAKIN' MASSIVE! IT DWARFED MY STRAT, BUT OTHER THAN THAT MTD'S REALLY GIVE YOU A NICE ''THICK 'N' RICK'' TONE.
I replaced my MTD pickups woth EMG DC45's. Different flavor all together. The pre and pickup matching is all about what you want to hear, as long as they fit . The Smiths are a good upgrade.
Hey SWEET SOUNDING BASS.....did gorilla guitars do all the make over work on the bass? Cause I'm looking for somebody to do my bass the same way...help a brother out...
Nice playing bro , I think that this is my first time hearing ken smith pickups on a mtd , I don't understand why it kinda sounds like an ibanez or something like that . I shol ain't hating though because I experiment like that to ,
I came to the conclusion when u have a Ken smith just leave it the way it is, likewise with an MTD, then you'll have that phat sound hands down. Keep thumping hard bro.
Well John,first question is why would you put Smiths on an MTD?and strangely enough it doesn't sound like a Smith or an MTD.That said,the bass does have it's own flavor.Sounds good,we'll give it a thumbs up!!!
I'm thinking of getting this bass b4 the end of the year since I can't afford those custom ones...u think i should wait another 2 years or get this one?
@Mrjbass3 Yep same one. I am enjoying it very much. I appreciate the sell and the quick shipment. I left you a positive feedback on ebay hopefully paypal wasn't holding you money hostage like they do mine.
other than not using the same tonal woods as the smiths, i would recommend replacing the bridge with a hipshot brass bridge and have a luthier slot a brass nut for you. That's where alot of that ken smith sparkle comes from. hope that helps. and that bass sounds sick!

mtd sounds great for thumping, i got an fender active jazz bass
beautiful noiseless ceramic pickups. I especially love my bridge pickups
i've heard a lot of bass players play from the bridge and the mtd bass
you've just played got excellent bridge output.
