MTD Kingston Super 4 Electric Bass

The MTD Kingston Super is a precise combination of power and finesse. With high-output humbucking pickups and myriad switching and EQ options, you will never be lost in the mix or wishing you had more.

The Super features an ash body and roasted maple neck with an ebony fingerboard. The roasted neck not only provides greater stability, but also delivers 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 Super undergoes a rigorous quality control and setup process in MTD's Kingston, NY facility by master technicians. The robust, top-loading Quick Release Bridge allows for speedy and easy string changes, while the licensed Hipshot Ultralite tuners provide tuning stability without neck dive.

The active EQ of the Super features +/- 6 dB of boost/cut for each of the three specifically selected frequency points, like the rest of the Kingston models. However, the Super also sports a three-way mini toggle for each of its MM-style pickups. In the down position, the pickup is in Series Mode, providing a bold punch and aggressive growl. In the middle position, the pickup is in Single Coil Mode, which makes the pickup sound brighter and sweeter. In the up position, the pickup is in Parallel Mode, providing slightly lower output than Series Mode but with more clarity… read more and definition. When both pickups are in Single Coil Mode and the blend pot is in the center position, the pickups are hum-canceling.
