MTD Kingston Z5 Left-Handed 5-String Bass Natural Maple Burl"," MTD Kingston Z5 Left-Handed 5-String Bass - Natural Maple Burl Matte

Updated for 2026! The MTD Kingston Z is the flagship model of the Kingston line and takes many of its design cues from Handmade USA MTD basses.

This left-handed Kingston Z5 features an alder body, maple burl top, roasted maple neck, and roasted maple fingerboard for a boutique-inspired look and a fast, stable playing feel. MTD's asymmetrical neck and compound fingerboard radius are designed for comfortable, fatigue-free playing, while the Buzz Feiten Tuning System helps deliver precise intonation up and down the neck.

Like all MTD Kingston instruments, the Z5 undergoes a rigorous quality control and setup process in MTD's Kingston, NY facility by master technicians. The robust top-loading MTD Quick Release bridge allows for fast string changes, and Licensed Hipshot Ultralite tuners provide reliable tuning stability without unnecessary neck dive.

The active preamp provides +/- 6db of boost and cut across bass, middle, and treble. MTD soapbar pickups deliver punch, clarity, and extended-range definition, making this left-handed Z5 a strong choice for working bassists, modern players, and weekend warriors alike.
