The Kingston Norm Stockton Signature Saratoga is a natural evolution in the relationship between MTD and Stockton. MTD introduced the Norm Stockton USA Signature in 2013. The Kingston version is an extension of that initial collaboration and features a familiar aesthetic to go with appointments not found on other Kingston instruments.

Among those appointments are the custom USA Bartolini pickups and electronics package that deliver a tonal punch that must be experienced. The electronics feature active/passive switching and a custom mid-shift switch to select between 250hZ/450hZ (same frequencies as the USA version NS), making this instrument tonally unique among our lineup. Combining these electronics with the carbon reinforced maple neck, and a beautiful alder and maple body makes for a bass that is both incredibly versatile and thoroughly inspiring.

"I had high expectations for the Kingston NS, and it absolutely blew them… read more away! Gorgeous looks, spectacular playability, and TONE for days. Everyone who's played it has been floored." - Norm Stockton
