You are the best demo player Mr. Ed sir. I love your books and videos. I just spent my life savings on the MTD Kingston Z5 tobacco sunburst with a rosewood fretboard. I was eyeing the Fender 5 Deluxe, as you are a Fender guy too, but wanted to know how you felt those two compared. Love your stuff Mr. Ed. Please respond as I don't have your master knowledge to compare those two. Thanks!

@Ikillpeopleforfree - Hard to compare the two, they are totally different styles of bass. They are both nice in their own way. The MTD is 35" scale, 24 frets, humbuckers... Fender is... Fender. But enjoy your bass and play it well.

Ed,would be REALY great if you make a straight comparison of maples and rosewoods fingerboards,I'm sure that many people are interested about that discussion and there's not so many videos about that subject.

cheers....

@123andrelevy - I think you can make more significant tonal changes by using different strings. Maple is a little brighter and snappier than rosewood, but you would hear the difference between nickel or stainless strings, roundwounds or flatwounds a lot more clearly.

Mr. Ed Friedland, i invite you to listen and try the MOZINA bass Guitars and Electric guitars.... This intruments are made in Ecuador under FODERA Luthier Licensed. As well as i know about it, this intruments are hand made with exotics ecuadorians woods. and I'd like to know what do you think about this new brand and obviously the quality sound of them. Thank you.

@095513467 - Well, I have no idea where I'd find one of those in the US. Got any ideas?

[BassGuitarMag]

@SantiagoGT15 - One is a 4 string, the other is a 5. One is a Jazz bass, the other is a P.... I'd have to have both.

Thanks for your reviews. I appreciate watching them, and I LOVE that Genz-benz(may get one because of you), but I was wondering if you had any reviews for the Kingston Artist series. Thanks!

Lakland make epic basses you need to get the hang of them and ofc you need a good amp.ZON are very very impressive,but as far as Lakland go...well I find nice comparison with Sadowsky.Both are much better than Fender.You need to be unable to read to state otherwise.I'll probably never own either cuz I'm poor and with the whole "made in USA" price deal,but I work at a Fender music store so I know their capabilities :)

How much did u spend on the MTD?

[Ikillpeopleforfree]

@PowermadNavigator I really like my Fender USA P & Jazz basses and now after playing my 4 and 5 string MTD KZ basses for a few months, I can say they are so easy to play with a super low action and no fret buzz and are the best basses I have owned in quite a few years. I really want a ZON bass someday too. Lakelands are not really as impressive for the money. Just glad Ed was able to share about the MTDs.

@Ikillpeopleforfree

I think you made the right choice...

Yeah, Fender but.... come on...the MTD is just a whole different level...

I do like the tone from neck pickup. Seems like moving the posision made a noticible difference
