Overview
The MTD Kingston Super 5-String Bass has powerful electronics, a premium finish, and a sleek carved body. These features all combine to make the Kingston Super a perfect blend of beauty, brawn, and tonal flexibility.
The Kingston Super delivers an unparalleled tonal range for any musical style. In addition to a 3-band active preamp, the Kingston Super sports a mini-switch for each MM-style pickup. While in the down position, the pickups are in hum-cancelling series mode, providing a bold punch and growl. In the middle position, the pickups are in single coil mode, making them sound bright and twangy. In the up position, the pickups are in hum-cancelling parallel mode, making them sound bright and sweet, with a slightly lower output than series mode. When both pickups are in single coil mode and the blend pot is centered, they are hum-cancelling. How's that, for some ear candy?
The V2 version is equipped with Hipshot open gear tuning machines and carbon fiber support rods, for increased stability and durability.

In my 46 years of playing bass and having played many different brands, price points and types of basses, never have I been as happy as I am with my new MTD Kingston Super 5! Right out of the box, this beautiful looking guitar was something that got me excited again and after a few minor string height adjustments, I could tell that I finally found what I was looking for in a bass- Great looks, comfortable feel, great playability and awesome sound! A bass at this price point plays like a much more expensive "boutique " bass. This is now my go to axe for all my gigs- I highly recommend the new Kingston Super 5!
