Hey Norm. I'm looking into getting one soon. I play worship every week, and I'm losing my high mids and higher octave notes in the mix due to fighting the tracks. ( I'm really boosting my mids already in the battle). I'm thinking with all the maple in your bass it will help bring those out. Can you tell me what settings you would use on your bass for the Elevation, bethel, gateway worship music to really bring out all the layers and flavors? Side note I also play on a GK 1001 rb. I been trying to copy your tone for years lol. My bass sounds good, but I think the wenge on wenge neck might be a little too dark of a tone for what I'm really needing... any guidance would be awesome. I appreciate you and all you do!!

MTDs and F Basses. Best modern-style basses IMO. F Basses are more 'Jazz', but they use a lot of maple / Ash to get there. Either are End-Gsme for me.

Good sniffling here by the camera man.

Man that bass is crystal clear! Of course it’s an MTD!!! What strings are you using?

Salud with Sapporo beer ! Cheers

I'm hungry = Tengo hambre = Watashi wua taxzan una casita ! Long time ago I was in Japan and I remember how to say I'm hungry in Japanese = Watashi wua una casita .. casita in Spanish means small house so I prefer to say Watashi wua taxzan una casota ! casota means a big house .

They can CNC a lot of it but at the end of the day, it’s still about the skill of the luthier to get it spot on. Amazing. For me it’s still worthy to be called hand made. Seeing what’s involved, it’s truly worth the asking price. 👍👍

The MASTER LUTHIER!!!!! I just got my first MTD, a Kingston Super 5, and it's AMAZING!!!!! If I'm ever blessed to get a USA MTD 6 string I'd get an ash body, an ash neck, and a maple fingerboard!!! If not, I'll get a Kingston AG6!!!

Norm, I’m ashamed to say that I only just discovered you, on a billythekid video of you at a NAMM show demoing your signature bass. I’m blown away ! You’re a monster player ! Of course I liked and subscribed. Play on, bass brother !

You had me at sandwich.

Hi, Norm. What is the string used on this bass in the video?

Blessings. May I know how tall you are? The 35" looks good on your shoulder. But I am worrying that the 35 is too long for me myself. May I know the weight including strap and strap locks?

He lost me at china.

Just placed my order for one of these !! 🎉

Amazing seeing this man work on these astonishing instruments. Thank you all so much! ❤

Wow, that’s beautiful. 👏👏👏

Fascinating!!! May the great Bill Bartolini rest in peace.

WOW, Such an awesome experience I just had watching and listening to you guys play and share with each other!! The music was "perfect", lol!!! The conversation was "perfect"!!! What a blessing you guys are to the wonderful world of music!! God bless each of you!!

Osama Afifi recommend this to me!!

Oh Man, if I was rich, I would order one of these bases right away! Hopefully some day 😅

Thanks.

I don’t know why but MTD basses always sound the best. Don’t know if it’s the wood, electronics, or both.

Absolutely and thoroughly enjoyed this video. Now I have some new artists to follow. And also buy your work and theirs.

I agree with the "acoustic unplugged" statement. All my basses sound good unplugged. 😊

thanks for explaining how the knobs impact the sound!

What craftsmanship. I love watching bass building. Better them than me. Hard work but nothing beats handmade.

Thank you for creating and sharing this video, Norm! Michael and Daniel make special instruments. The craft, passion, and professionalism they put into their instruments is unreal. There’s nothing like an MTD.

Central European bass players realy appretiate your job. I can still remember when i tried a small but powerfull combo for 35 years ago ! That sound became my reference sound by the way.

Norm, I love the Cobra Kai reference, ha. But also seeing this video makes it all the more compelling to buying a bass. Obviously an artist performing has such impacting on wanting to get a similar bass, but seeing Mike and Dan do that meticulous work gives such a larger and deeper appreciate of what goes into creating these. Dang it, I shouldn't have watch this video, at least that is what my bank account is saying, ha.

Thank you so much for sharing Norm ! Always a joy to see where the magic happens.I have a 534- 24 on order , it should be ready in a couple of months starting to feel like a kid on Christmas Eve.

There are Many Luthiers, but Only One Michael Tobias, & alongside him, Daniel Tobias. There are Many Great Bassists, However, there’s only One Norm Stockton. I am Honored & Very Blessed to be Your Student. I am also still in Awe of my MTD. God Bless You, Michael, Daniel & Your Families Always! Much Love for You All, Always! 🙏🙏❤️❤️

I have an idea for a giveaway or maybe a charity event, I would pay anything to get to be in that room listening music and eating some good food.

I always enjoy seeing videos of both Michael and Daniel Tobias working and talking about their creations. That bass is still stunning to hear, probably helps with who's playing it. 😉. Really great video, well worth the wait

That's a great-looking and sounding bass!!! Unfortunately, is constructed of unobtanium and is way out of my affordability range!

Hi Norm , your bass sound wonderfull and is super versatile, the MTD seemed impossible to improve since a very passionate and competent bass player named Norm come to uplift a notch what seemed already perfect, wonderful job my friend , a masterpiece

Nice to see MTD on site! Have one Norm signature on order.Cant wait to have it on hand! Thanks for the video!

This is great!! Thanks Norm for the chance to peer into this world of MTD.

This is awesome! It’s one of my favorite artist series basses too. It just talks to you. Really cuts through too.

Thanks for the great video, Norm!

Sounds great, but i'm curious to hear how it sounds flat. Anyway, front humb ,rear single sounds Killler!

awesome people and bass Norm

Love seeing Michael & Daniel work and explains their craft 👍🏽

I love mine

Great Video. The craftsmanship that goes into making a high end instrument is amazing to watch. Thanks Norm!

Beautiful! Thank you, doing a second video. I was sharing some of the older videos about your bass the other day. think this bass will eventually be my first MTD. You are absolutely one of the greatest bassists in my opinion.

Top 5 bass player for me. Norm is a monster bassist.

That was great...except the part about watching this at some silly hour and getting stupid hungry looking at that terribly enticing sushi... The title kind of gave it away but not really until the first shots of the chef doing his thing came through. From there on, it was a bit of torture with a little musical soothing and conversational distraction. The music was excellent also!

I'm listening With Trash headphones Still The mtd Sounds Incredible

I got hit in the face with a chicken at a gig once 😂😂😂

I had a smile on my face the whole time. Keep em coming!
