So here is a magnificent MTD 635-24, perhaps the most beautiful MTD I've seen! This bass is monstrous, the neck is a total joy, and the sound is terrific. I am parting with it for a new purchase and also because it is no longer the sound I use today.
The bass has been revised and set up by Christophe LEDUC who did a differential fretboard dressing and installed frets as it was fretless. This was done with the guiding help of Mike TOBIAS himself as they are friends. The bass is perfect and also received a new preamp exchanged by Mike TOBIAS as the original was defective.
Note that this bass seems to have been ordered by Andrew GOUCHÉ himself as there is GA written (see pictures) on the back of the battery plate, neck and in the neck pocket, but unfortunately Mike TOBIAS has no record for that fact, but maybe Andrew GOUCHÉ could confirm this…
So we are on a 6 string with a 35 inch scale, in excellent condition.
