Thundercat is playing his custom made maple MTD electric bass. In this article Bass Player writes "My MTD cuts like a knife. The body and the neck are all maple, so it’s like a super shank."
My main Bass Guitar is my LG3006 built for me by Keith Roscoe and crew at ROSCOE GUITARS. I also play the fine basses made by Mike Tobias at MTD BASS GUITARS. In my stable of basses are bass guitars from Yamaha International, Pat Wilkins Basses, Innerwood Basses, Wyn Basses, and Mayonnes Basses.
