FS/FT MTD Kingston Heir W/Upgrades 4-String Cherry Flame/Maple FB

Sign in to disble this ad
I have been going back and forth on selling this, But now it is up for Sale or Trade.
I have an MTD Kingston Heir 4-string with a flamed cherry top.
I am looking to change basses to compliment my 5 string MTD.

It is in over all really good condtition. It has a slight discoloration on the back of the neck, probably from the sanding process. I tried to take a picture of it. You can see it but not feel it, its still really smooth and is only a cosmetic thing. There is also a slight scuff on the body right above the neck and I tried to get a good pic of that as well. I took a couple pics to show that you have to be looking at it just right to see it, very minor. Comes with DR Highbeam strings installed.

This is coming from a smoke-free home. My wife always gets mad when I buy a guitar/case and It stinks up the house, and we have to fabreze for a couple weeks.

I have upgraded some of the electronics:

The Neck pickup has been replaced by a DELANO JC 4 HE/M2. The old single coil pickup buzzed alone or blended with the MM pickup, but I liked the sound better with both pickups on. This Delano pickup helped solve the problem, with no buzz. Nice fat and rich sound. matches well with the bridge pickup. (around $110)

The Stock preamp has been switched out for an Aguilar OBP-3 with volume, blend, bass, mid (push/pull frequency), treble configuration. the OBP-3 is a great improvement over the stock preamp. much more bass on tap and overall tighter sounding.(around $200)

I also installed a switch for series/parallel for the musicman style pickup. and the cavities have been shielded with copper shielding.

I would like to sell it for $600 shipped.

Specs:
- 34" scale 4-string
- 24 medium jumbo frets
- Zero fret 1-1/2" wide, 4-string
- One-piece neck with satin polyester finish
- Carved Ash body with figured maple top
- MTD quick release bridge, 3/4" (19mm) spacing 4
- Double-action truss rod
- Neck: Maple
- Shielded electronics compartment
- Buzz Feiten Tuning System


Thanks for looking,
-AJ

The first 3 pics are of the new pickup, switch, copper shielding and have the newer strings. also one showing a ding that I noticed near the jack (fairly small). the rest of the pictures are before the install.
