MTD Kingston Andrew Gouche signature 6 string bass. Pretty much new, only had it for a few weeks.
Has a very nice feel, low action. Bartolini pickups and preamp.
To me, this bass is as good as an MTD 635 in sound and feel.
Super clear and articulate. Fat, P bass-like front pickup sound. Blend...

Looking to clean out the stable. This Z4 is one that I'll currently play from time to time but I'm trying to whittle my collection down to only one "daily driver." This won't ship in a gig bag, but I'll package it as ridiculously well as I can.
Looks, plays and sounds great!
Shipping will be...
Anyone have the 5 string import version of the MTD Saratoga who can confirm the scale of this bass? I’ve seen conflicting information about the 5 string.
Thanks!
Has anyone had the opportunity to play different MTD fiver models?
I'm in the market for a 5-er and was always intrigued by Michale's basses, but they seem to have a broad palette: from Z5; KZ5; KZX; Z5MP; AG5 to Super 5; Saratoga 5; Saratoga Deluxe; and the 535; – and I only played one of...
Up for sale or trade is my MTD Kingston Andrew Gouche 5. It has a few dings on it but is in overall great shape. The factory knurled metal knobs have been replaced with the rubberized plastic ones like on the US models. Light weight and low action.
I'm asking $1200 shipped to the lower 48...

I've recently read some articles about MTD Kingston Basses, which they are awesome. I'm thinking to buy a 5 string MTD Kingston Saratoga Deluxe, but I experienced a hard time to search for it in Melbourne.
Can you guys help me on how to order MTD Kingston Basses when located in Melbourne? Thanks.
Hello,
I want to upgrade my MTD Kingston Heir 5 and I'm not sure if I should start with the pre-amp or the pickups.
For reference if it helps:
I was playing on a rock cover band (70's to present material) and I also record jazz/fusion/rock original material so I need a wide variety of sounds...
I had been looking for a bass I sold years ago. Thinking it was gone for good, I bought this to get me through. Would you believe the current owner of my dream bass contacted me the day after I took possession of this beauty?!
I just opened the box yesterday. I haven’t even plugged it in. If...

Hey! This is my first post here... I'm a site viewer since 2017. I was interested in buying a MTD bass, specifically the MTD Kingston ZX5 or the Kingston Andrew Gouche. I was just wondering if the difference between the Kingston Andrew Gouche and a 535 was that big for that price difference...
I got a chance to buy either one of them
The Czech one has a maple top, poplar body, Schaller tuners, and hipshot B style bridge, and used to have Bartolini jazz pickups but was changed with EMG DC and the circuit is Nordstrand now.
Well, because MTD Kingston basses are made in China Now, so...
Hey guys,
I want to customize my MTD Kingston Heir 5 Bass guitar and I wanted to ask for any experience using the Bridges named in the title. I know that the default MTD Bridge is also produced by Hipshot, but the Sandberg Instruments are very nice, too and it seems like it is the same bridge...
Im selling my new ZX5 upgraded with USA specs such as, 535 preamp, hipshot tuners, B style bridge, and soft touch knobs. This bass is in excellent condition and very versatile and light weight do to the changes. Pretty close to a USA model without having to spend the big bucks.

So I bought a KZ 5-string fretless here on Talkbass a few years ago, and I'm just too damn lazy at this point to develop my fretless technique. So I'd like to buy a fretted neck for it but I don't know how to go about shopping for one - and getting the best price. Any advice? Thanks!
This began life as an MTD Kingston Saratoga (to be clear, this is the import version, made in China) with the transparent black finish. I decided I didn't like the color, so I had it painted and put in a ton of upgrades. Plays great and sounds great. But even after all the upgrades, I prefer my...

Hello! So I'm looking around for a new bass to expand my pallet a bit. My current bass is a Guild Starfire ii (which I love dearly) strung with flatwounds. I've grown very accustomed to the wide body, and find smaller bodies, such as Fender Jazz bodies, uncomfortable. I also really like the neck...
Up for sale is an excellent MTD Kingston Super 5 in Dr. Brown's burst. Recently received this in trade from another great TBer. This is one of the most comfortable and lightest 5 strings I have ever played. I am just not a 5 string guy, so this one should go to someone who can appreciate this...

I picked up this bass in December and it is a really nice bass. It feels good, it's smooth, and it plays well. It's upgraded with Bartolini music man pickup and preamp. It has some cosmetic issues, so there's chips and things here and there, but still a nice bass. I added the signature (which...

Finally saved up some cash, along with insurance check. From home being broken into and gear stolen. I haven't ever owned either of these two basses mentioned at the top of the posting. But considering one of the two, both I'm looking for used. But just reaching out to take in a few opinions on...
The MTD Kingston Saratoga bass is a modern re-imagining of a classic “J” Jazz style bass. The MTD Kingston Saratoga retains that great sound but packages it in a wonderfully designed instrument. It has Michael Tobias’ innovations like the asymmetrical neck, balanced body, and Quick-Release...
