The MTD Z Series of basses are some of the best-selling MTD Kingstons. The series was created for the discerning player that wants the great MTD sound coupled with exceptional beauty.

As with all the other MTD Kingston basses, it incorporates many of the superior design elements found on Mike Tobias’ revered MTD USA American series instruments. It also captures the look of a handmade, boutique-style bass. Carefully constructed using a high-quality Mahogany core and beautifully adorned with a Burled Maple top, the Z basses marry beauty with unparalleled performance.

The Kingston Z series basses have carved mahogany bodies, which have a rich voice and a darker overtone. The maple burl tops help to focus the low end and are incredibly attractive. The two MTD proprietary passive soapbar pickups are wood covered and subtlety reinforce the wood beauty of the maple burl body top. The headstock matches the beauty of the body and the elegantly designed asymmetrical neck ties it all together. Case sold separately.
