Michael Tobias Design (MTD) was founded by Michael Tobias, who has been building instruments for a living since 1974.
MTD is highly regarded by the world's top bassists, including Andrew Gauthe, Robert "Bubby" Lewis, and Jerry Watts.
Although the production volume is very small, only about 10 pieces per month, the company is widely known for its capabilities.
This model is the flagship 535-24.
This model number indicates that it is a 5-string model, with a 35" scale and a 24-fret fingerboard.
The EQ is massive, clear, and speedy when flat.
It doesn't break down when boosted, and can become louder and lumpier, sharper and sharper, and more variable.
The PU and preamp are made by Bartolini, but special orders are made to obtain a special combination.
The wood construction of this model is very traditional, but for those who are usually familiar with Fender type guitars, this style will be a better fit.
The remaining frets are approximately 80%.
The truss rod is in good working order and the neck is in good condition.
There are some scratches and dents on the body and paint.
Please check the pictures.
GIB craftsmen have adjusted it to make it easier to play.
Accessories: Original semi-hard case
