Overview

Stunning looks and gig-friendly active/passive flexibility.

The MTD Kingston Saratoga Deluxe picks up where the old-school Saratoga left off by adding active electronics and a flamed maple top. It retains Michael Tobias’ innovations like the asymmetrical neck, the Quick Release Bridge (19mm spacing), and the Buzz Feiten Tuning System.

Stunning looks and gig-friendly active/passive flexibility make this a versatile tool for any bass player. An Active/Passive switch couples the great sounding passive hum-cancelling J pickups directly to the output and engages the passive tone control, which is concentric 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. Both the four and five string basses are 34" scale. Case sold separately.
