Used MTD 2000 S Grendel Bass

Description

The MTD 2000 S Grendel Bass is a distinctive vintage-era extended-range bass associated with Michael Tobias Design and the Grendel line. Built for players looking for a modern, performance-focused instrument with a wide tonal range and comfortable access across the neck, this is an interesting find for bassists as well as collectors of less-common MTD-related instruments.

The Grendel series reflects Michael Tobias' influential approach to bass design, emphasizing comfortable ergonomics, balance, playability, and a clear response that works well across a variety of musical styles. The 2000 S offers the kind of articulate attack and extended tonal versatility that can make it useful for everything from traditional fingerstyle playing to slap, funk, fusion, progressive music, and more technical bass work.

In a recording environment, a bass like this can be particularly useful when definition is important. Its modern bass design lends itself to clean DI recording, while pairing it with an amplifier, preamp, or bass-processing chain can provide everything from polished contemporary tones to more aggressive rock and fusion sounds.

Because MTD/Grendel instruments from this period can be uncommon and specifications may vary, we recommend using the provided photos to confirm the exact number of strings, pickup arrangement, electronics, controls, woods, hardware, finish, and any modifications or replacement components on this particular bass. We do not want to assume that its current configuration is identical to another surviving example.

For the bassist looking for something outside the usual Fender-style designs—or the collector interested in earlier and less-common instruments connected to Michael Tobias—the MTD 2000 S Grendel is a particularly interesting piece of bass history.
