SOLD - MTD Kingston Artist 5-string Bass £350

[pete.young]

Michael Tobias Designs Kingston Artist 5-string active bass in Amber Gloss for sale.

If you're looking for a lightweight (8lbs 7oz), 35" scale Stingray 5 soundalike with a 19mm string spacing then this is for you.

It's a great sounding bass with a lot of punch from the Alnico humbucker, very light and well balanced and the asymmetric neck profile makes it feel very comfortable to play. The colour is Amber Gloss which looks a lot deeper and richer in the flesh than in my terrible camera phone pics.

There are no photographable marks on the body or neck of this bass. The only blemish is a slight scuffing on the top of the headstock. Apart from that it's a good as new.

It's recently been set up with DR Sunbeams and the price includes a very handsome burgundy red and black MTD gig bag with leather straps and the MTD logo embroidered onto the pocket.

For sale at £350. Not looking for trades.

I would prefer to have this collected from Ipswich, or meet up in the surrounding area or London. I'd prefer not to ship since I don't have a hard case, but I''ll pack it well if you wish to organise a courier.

Really easy basses to play, these MTDs.

I had a couple of them about 10 years ago and found them to be surprisingly good!
