FS MTD Kingston 5 String Bass - $325 (*free limited shipping)

Sign in to disble this ad
SOLD!

This is an MTD Kingston 5, 5 string bass. I’m asking for $325 with free shipping covered up to $25. This bass was purchased used and is in mint cosmetic condition. There is a slight static in the tone knob when its being turned (a minor annoyance that I didn’t bother to fix). This bass has no fret wear. Local pickup (Los Angeles, CA 90008) is available or I can ship to CONUS with Paypal payment. International buyer inquiries are welcome, but acceptance not guaranteed.

Specifications:
8.6 lbs on floor scale
35” scale length
47 1/2" overall length
45mm at the zero fret
Buzz Feiten tuning system
19mm string spacing at the bridge
Basswood body (I believe)
Maple neck
Rosewood fingerboard with 24 frets
Die cast closed gear black tuners
Die cast, vintage style, black bridge
Musicman style humbucker pickup
Passive volume - tone knob configuration

Please see pictures

The necks on these are sublime. It is really light. There is enough room in the control cavity to park a car so any preamp upgrades are a breeze. I cannot say enough good things about these basses.

It feels very light and balances well as every MTD (American and Import) I've owned does.

This is a nice deal for a very clean bass.
