Up for grabs is a modded MTD Kingston 5 string. Love the bass, just finding out I'm probably a Fender Jazz player for life so I'd just rather have the extra cash right now. It's got:
- Mahogany body, spalted maple top, one piece maple neck, rosewood fretboard, and matching spalted maple headstock.
-Bolt on, 24 (medium jumbo) fret neck with a zero fret that's 1 3/4" at the nut. (Buzz Feiten tuning
system)
-35" Scale
-Asymmetrical neck profile with a satin polyester finish
-Two way truss rod
-Quick release bridge
-Black chrome hardware
-Volume, Active/Passive switch, and pickup pan knob
-Elixir heavy gauge strings
Mods include:
-Black Tusq XL Nut
-Matching spalted maple truss rod cover (original black plastic cover included)
-Nordstrand Dual Coil humbuckers
-Audere 3 band Preamp with Bass/Mid/Treble, 3 way impedance switch, and a blue LED battery life indicator
-Flush mount Dunlop strap locks
-9v battery upgraded to 18v wiring
-Control cavity and plate completely shielded with copper tape
It has minimal dings and scratches, only the ones shown in the picture of the butt end of the bass. Minor dent by the nut on the headstock as shown, but that's about it. The only other thing is the poorly installed string thru bridge ferrules on the back. (never assume a friend knows what he's doing when you ask someone to work on your bass) They were hammered in and ended up cracking the finish around where they were installed, but no more than what's shown in the pictures.
These retail new without the upgraded electronics and pickups for $1250, I'm only asking $800 shipped OBO with gig bag. Paypal is preferred, would consider trades but I'm mainly looking for cash.
Here's a link to a recent recording I did with this bass. I've got a home studio so I can send recorded samples of all of the settings if requested. Thanks for checking it out!
