MTD Kingston Z Series - Page 12

I'm looking at a fretless Z4 on TPB. Can anyone tell me what they sound like as fretless models?

As someone else asked, how's the mwah, how's the sustain and how bright are they? Perhaps someone can point me in the direction of a sound clip or a song where one was used? Anything really because they look wonderful and I might be able to afford one in a week or so so I have to be sure.

Also I noticed it says shipping is free even though I entered that I'm from the UK. Is that a mistake or is it actually free? Also is there some kind of tax I would have to pay on it being imported because of the weight? Please let me know about all of these things because my eye is staring at that burled maple top and I'm having trouble diverting it.

Just the thought of it on my lap (if it sounds half as nice as it looks) is enough to make me smile.

I would contact James or Brandt directly after the holidays if they haven't responded on here by then.

Haven't played a fretless Z yet, but a fretless ZX or Z4 or Z5 in Natural Gloss finish is on my G.A.S. list...

So has anyone here put a Bart HR5.4AP/918 and a set of P46CBC into their Z6 here yet? I'm contemplating doing it for mine...

Thanks Rev. If you are interested there's a Z5 going on eBay for $799 at a buy it now price.

Claims to be in excellent condition, not natural gloss, however you might be tempted by the price.

Yummy! But not a Z though...

Oh yeah, my mistake.
