For what is in this bass this is a fantastic price.. Those Kingstons are great basses.. I was trying to sell my Heir a year ago and I decided to mod it and now I am keeping it. I has a KZ5 and a KZ6 and both opf those were great basses as well.. At one point I was looking at a few of these as well..

Let me see if I can find the right cables here around the house to get that done and I will try to get that posted soon.
Thanks for your interest.

Here are a couple of very bad quality recordings done through the laptop mic.
Both pickups all the way. Not sure which mid frequency it was on.
Active mode the mids were cut some but I couldn't boost the treble or bass because it distorted the mic.
It isn't much to go on but should give you a very basic idea. There is a ton of boost and cut available to tone shape.
Best.

No, I bought this from another T'ber already modded. Freshly done so. I have not had it out at all. I haven't been playing for some time.
