MTD Kingston LK4 Electric Bass, with Roasted Maple Fingerboard

The MTD Kingston LK is the brainchild of Michael Tobias and artist Lynne Keller:

"As I'm a petite person, I needed a bass that fit me and could be easily worn for long hours without causing neck and back pain." - Lynn Keller

While this bass was originally designed to meet the needs of players smaller in stature, don't let that fool you. The LK is an equally well-appointed instrument made with the same precision and thoughtfulness as the rest of the Kingston Series.

Features:

- Designed to meet the needs of players smaller in stature
- Slightly shorter 32-inch scale length
- Alder body with Roasted Maple neck
- Asymmetrical neck & compound fretboard radius
- Roasted Maple neck provides a 'broken in' sound & feel
- Custom MTD P/J pickup set
- 3-Band EQ with Active/Passive switch
- +/- 6dB of boost along all 3 EQ bands
- Buzz Feiten Tuning System for precise intonation
- Top-loading, Quick Release Bridge

The LK is a 32-inch scale bass with 24 frets featuring an Alder body and a Roasted Maple neck with a Roasted Maple fingerboard. The roasted neck not only provides more stability, but also makes for a more 'broken in' sound and feel. MTD's asymmetrical neck and compound fingerboard radius allow the player hours of comfortable, fatigue free playing. The Buzz Feiten Tuning System provides precise intonation up and down the fretboard.

Like all MTD Kingston instruments, the LK5 undergoes a rigorous quality control and setup process in their Kingston, NY facility from… read more master technicians. The robust, top-loading, Quick Release Bridge allows for speedy and easy string changes, while the Licensed Hipshot Ultralite Tuners provide confidence without neck dive.

The LK features a proprietary set of pickups as well as a powerful 3 band EQ. The EQ provides +/- 6dB of boost along all three bands. The active/passive switch allows you to bypass the EQ completely while the passive tone control gives you even more tone shaping options in either mode.
