Product Description
The MTD 534-24 is a premium, handcrafted instrument designed for discerning bassists seeking exceptional tone, playability, and aesthetics. Built in the USA by Michael Tobias Design (MTD), a brand renowned for its innovation and craftsmanship, this bass embodies the legacy of master luthier Michael Tobias, who has been creating world-class instruments for decades.
This model features an ash body with a stunning Myrtle Burl 10 Top, finished in a rich Dark Cherry Sunburst with a smooth satin finish, enhancing both its natural beauty and resonance. Its maple neck, also finished in satin, provides a comfortable, fast-playing feel, while the striped ebony fingerboard delivers a striking look and articulate note clarity. Side dot inlays offer subtle yet practical fret navigation. With 24 frets and a 34” scale length, this bass is perfect for players who demand versatility across the full range of the instrument.

The bass is outfitted with black hardware, adding a sleek, modern touch. At 9lb 10oz (4.35kg), it maintains a comfortable balance for extended playing sessions. For protection and portability, the bass comes with an MTD Black gig case.
As a testament to MTD’s dedication to quality, innovation, and playability, this instrument is a perfect choice for professional musicians and collectors alike.
