Being a player of music and large fields as piano, drum, rhythm guitar and finally bass. Miller has met his final retirement instrument. "MTD4LYFE!"
Why I Joined MTD Bass Enthusiasts:
I love the remarkable playabilty of the Michael Tobias concept for bass structures and tone. Oh yes, and the easy modification processes on the Korean models which can be brought up to tones that one cannot phantom, unless you know what you are doing. Final hope is to research develope along with Mike the type of wood that CHRIST was crucified on and make a custom MTD 635 USA of course.
i now have my brand new MTD KZ5 natural finish with rosewood fret board. i just bought last night and love it.i think im going to see if they will exchange it for one with a maple fret board wich i prefer, but i took what they had because i wanted one so bad. ready to do some mods, need to know which bart PUps fit and the tuner size i cant seem to find those specs. 2 months ago it was a wish for me to have any MTD bass now i have 2 in as many weeks! i am truly blessed!
i have a kingston 5 clasic that is passive i use the aguilar tone hammer external pre amp and it sounds so good i dont even want my other basses anymore. i have a warwick corvette standard that also sounds good with the tone hammer but the playability is not even close. i also have a ksd 70j 5 that i was going to put and audere JZ6D pre ampin it but i am going to sell themm both and purchase a MTD Z5 bass. i want to change out elctronics and fit it with black hipshot hardwear. what what bart pu and pre amp should i use and what size tuning keys do i purchase. thank for your help in advance. P.S. love your mods.
