Mtd Kingston Saragota Deluxe KSDX5LA 5-String - cherry burst

The MICHAEL TOBIAS DESIGN Kingston Saragota Deluxe (KSDX5LA-DCB) five strings solid body electric bass picks up where the old-school Saratoga left off, with active electronics, a Basswood body, a flamed Maple top, Maple bolt-on neck, Laurel fretboard and overall (gig-friendly) versatility.

In true MTD style, it maintains favored ergonomics (asymmetrical neck), the Quick Release Bridge, the Buzz Feiten Tuning System, and an Active/Passive switch.

The Active/Passive switch couples the great sounding passive hum-cancelling J pickups directly to the output and engages the passive tone control in tandem, 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.

Mike 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.
