Overall, this bass is everything it says it is. Great and Affordable. This will be a working tool for probably the rest of my music career with some additions. The sound is versatile and style and beauty is timeless. Im hooked!

Sound
Each bass is unique because of the wood grain but the acoustic sound on this is very warm and full of tone. I would describe it as a clear with rounded lows and cutting highs with out breaking your ears. The tones are just right for anyone looking to use this bass in a variety of settings and genres. With the right amp and head (GK or Ampeg to name a few)the combinations of tones is endless. I love the way it sounds.

Features
It has a pickup panner, volume knob,and low, mid and high eq knobs. Great tuning systems. No complaints. It comes with two allen wrenches. for the intonation and bridge. If work on your bass you might consider using stronger grade allen wrench but the ones it comes with should suffice.

Ease of Use
You play it! Seriously, Its really comfortable. The assymmetrical neck is very comfortable and fast! and the body sits very with me. It's not heavy so your shoulders wont be hurting after long sessions and it just feels good.

Quality
This is where i was a little dissappointed but not taken back. For starters, the knobs where all loose so i had to tighten them up no biggy. The frets are very sharp on the edges.… read more and i found i was cutting my skin where i made contact. Not enough to cut deep are anything but enough to get annoying. So you will more than likely have to take it to a shop and have the fret ends smooth out or do it yourself. It sucks and I know I will be calling Mr. Tobais about it. But that can be a big thing for some and a small thing for others. But just realize that seems to be a problem. Other than those two things, The build and quality of the material, coat finish and workmanship is on par. It is a solid design. There were no flaws other than the one I mentioned that I saw. The strings it comes with are very bright and actually sound good. The fret board and neck is beautiful to me and the body is just spectacular. The electronics are very solid and strudy. You have one compartment dedicated for the electronics and another one dedicated for the battery which makes life a lot easier when trying to change the battery. Overall the Kingston Heir is built to last!

Value
The price is decent. I believe it is worth the penny spent. The sound and Quality you get from this instrument is outstanding. This will be in my arsenal for a long time so this is money well spent with no regrets!

Manufacturer Support
I dont know yet. I havent called. So Im not rating this one

The Wow Factor
I Got It! This is bass is gorgeous! I love it! The body style just draws you in to embrace it. The cherry finish is just amazing. I have seen the tobacco finish and the cherry to me is much better. The body feels smooth and silky. and The neck is just spot on! This is just an exquisite bass!
