I'm selling this beautiful near-mint 2018 MTD Kingston Saratoga Deluxe 5 string 'cause I just never played it - never gigged it, rehearsed once with it in my house. Plays great! 34" inch scale, 19mm string spacing. Bass Central is selling them on Reverb for $945; yours for $825 + shipping (unless you pick it up, of course).
Per Musician's Friend:"The MTD Kingston Saratoga Deluxe picks up where the old-school Saratoga left off by adding active electronics and a flamed maple top. It retains Michael Tobias’ innovations like the asymmetrical neck, the Quick Release Bridge and the Buzz Feiten tuning system.
Stunning looks and gig-friendly active/passive flexibility make this a versatile tool for any bass player. An active/passive switch couples the great sounding passive hum-cancelling J pickups directly to the output and engages the passive tone control which is concentric with the volume pot. When in the active mode, the 3-band preamp takes over, with bass, mid and treble controls offering cut/boost at just the right frequencies."
