Michael Tobias Design (MTD) was founded by Michael Tobias, who has been making musical instruments since 1974.
It has been highly praised by the world's top bassists such as Andrew Gouche, Robert ""Bubby"" Lewis, and Jerry Watts.
Although the production volume is very small, about 10 pieces per month, its ability is widely known.
This model is the flagship model 535-24.
This model number indicates that it is a 5-string model, has a 35-inch scale, and a 24-fret fingerboard.
The body is Ash, the neck is Maple, and the fingerboard is Roasted birdeye maple. It's a little unusual.
Although it has a relatively traditional wood construction, I think this style will be a better fit for those who are familiar with the Fender style.
Luminlay is used for the side dots.
The EQ is flat, massive, clear, and fast.
Even if you boost it, it won't collapse, and it can change into something with a larger lumpy feel, or something sharper and sharper.
The PU and preamplifier are made by Bartolini, and because they are specially ordered, we have a special combination.
Equipped with specs typical of recent manufacturing, its quality is top notch.
This is an excellent work that shows the accumulation of knowledge and skills.
Approximately 70% of the frets remain.
The truss rod works well.
The neck is in good condition.
The condition of the body and paint surface shows some scratches.
The electrical system is in good condition.
No obvious modification points were found.
