MTD American Handmade Basses
American basses are available in 5 (MTD535) These basses all have 35” scale bolt-on necks, with 24 frets optional.
The bodies and necks are ergonomically carved to allow comfortable access to the extended scale bass. In general, ash (medium weight) has more growl and is more aggressive.
Adding a top helps to focus the low end. A hard top tends to create a quicker response with more bite and definition while a soft top will tend to round out the voice.
The pickups and active electronics are a proprietary design for MTD made by Bill Bartolini. The controls are: master volume and a pan pot, treble, mid, bass cut and boost, with center click (from neck to bridge). The three position switch selects the mid range cut and boost point. Down is lower mids, center is middle and up is upper mids. When the mid pot is at center click, the switch has minimal effect. This EQ has 2 batteries and is a +/- 9 volt system.
MTD uses the Buzz Feiten Tuning System for all hand made US basses This revolutionary tuning system enhances tuning dramatically, allowing the player greater freedom of expression.
