MTD Kingston saratoga pickup upgrade

[blazekwi]

Hoping someone here has input, im looking to upgrade my jazzpickups on my mtd saratoga to a set of bartolinis. Im wondering if anyone knows what size i would be looking for? Between trusting my own measurements and the size guide on the bartolini site not being simple im nervouse to just buy a set.

If you want a definitive answer to that, you might want to check with MTD directly.

Call MTD (845-246-0670), then press “1” for Kingston and ask for DJ.
MTD sells Bartolini’s to fit their basses. They should have them.

Also, you should consider the Bartolini Preamp made for the Saratoga. I did both on my LK5 and I was blown away by the difference. I did the pickups first, then the preamp.

You bet. They’re a great company to deal with and DJ is a member here.

I believe i talked with dj im actually debating getting some wood knobs cuz im not a fan of the chrome on there now. And i cant seem to find any good 3rd party options from what i found on etsy
