Mtd Kingston Super KSUPER5MP 5-String - dark brown burst
The MICHAEL TOBIAS DESIGN Kingston Kingston Super KSUPER5MP 5-String Dark Brown Burst five strings solid body electric bass features a high quality (and carefully constructed) Ash core, with a beautiful figured Maple top.
In addition to a 3-band active preamp, the Kingston Super sports a mini-switch for each MM-style pickup. While in the down postion, the pickups are in humcancelling series mode, providing a bold punch and growl. In the middle position, the pickups are in single coil mode, making them sound bright and twangy. In the up position, the pickups are in humcancelling parallel mode, making them sound bright and sweet, with a slightly lower output than series mode. When both pickups are in single coil mode and the blend pot is centered, they are humcancelling.
Michael Tobias is one of the World's most respected bass builders having established a career in the 1970s with his Tobias basses.
The Kingston range has been carefully designed to encompass all of Michael Tobias ground breaking ideas in a more cost effective package. The range includes the highly specified Andrew Gouche signature model and ZX models.
The USA range are considered to be some of the finest hand built bass guitars available today.
