MTD Kingston Super 5 5-String Electric Bass Guitar - Matte Black

The MTD Kingston Super 5 is built for bassists who refuse to choose between power, precision and versatility. Designed with dual MM-style humbuckers, extensive coil-switching options and a fully active three-band EQ, it adapts instantly to any genre or gig. MTD’s signature asymmetrical neck and compound-radius fingerboard keep extended-range playing comfortable, while a rock-solid hardware package ensures pro-level reliability. Add the Buzz Feiten Tuning System for accurate intonation across the fretboard, and the Super 5 becomes exactly what its name implies: a complete performance platform with no compromises—ready for players who command the spotlight rather than chase it.

Ash Body Foundation With Stage-Ready Style

Ash has long been prized for its blend of punch, clarity and musical sustain—qualities the Kingston Super 5 uses to full advantage. It provides chest-hitting low-end response while maintaining articulation across the B string and upper registers, supporting both groove-driven lines and more adventurous chord work. Sculpted body contours ensure a comfortable playing experience whether seated or standing, and finish options include a sleek Matte Black, Gloss Super Blue Metallic and the striking Dr. Brown’s Burst with a flamed maple top. From tone to feel to aesthetics, this body design gives the Super 5 a presence that stands out before a single note sounds.

Asymmetrical Maple Neck Designed for Strength and Playability

The Super 5’s 35"-scale maple neck is built for both strength and effortless playability. MTD’s proprietary asymmetrical carve naturally molds into your grip—thicker on the bass side for power and thinner on the treble side for speed—reducing strain during extended sessions or fast technical runs. Carbon-fiber reinforcement boosts stability against climate shifts and extra string tension, while the 10"–14" compound-radius maple fingerboard keeps action fast and clean from the nut to the 24th fret. With the Buzz Feiten Tuning System eliminating intonation drift, this neck is as reliable as it is comfortable.

High-Output MM Pickups With Extensive Coil-Switching Options

Where the Kingston Super 5 truly earns its name is in its electronics. Dual MM-style humbuckers deliver thick, muscular authority—and each pickup includes a three-way switch for series, single-coil and parallel operation. That means bold growl, smooth clarity or scooped sparkle are just a flick away, no matter the musical setting. A three-band active EQ supplies up to ±6dB of precision shaping across bass, mids and treble, giving players the tools to sculpt a mix-leading voice. From modern gospel to prog metal to pop sessions, this bass keeps versatility not just available but effortless.

Gig-Ready Hardware Built for Demanding Players

Every performance demands reliability, and the Kingston Super 5 is equipped to dominate night after night. Hipshot Ultralite tuners keep the headstock balanced and eliminate neck dive—especially appreciated with the extended range. The Quick Release bridge makes string swaps fast while maintaining exceptional tuning stability and resonance transfer. Smoked chrome hardware and a clean control layout contribute to a modern pro aesthetic. The result is a bass that performs at the highest standard whether you’re touring, recording or running a marathon rehearsal.

The Kingston Super 5: Maximum Flexibility for Modern Bassists

With its powerful pickup configuration, advanced switching, refined playability and road-tested hardware, the MTD Kingston Super 5 is built for players who demand a bass that can take charge in any musical situation. Inspirational feel meets unmatched sonic adaptability—and it all comes at a price that’s within reach for working musicians. Whether you’re chasing modern punch, fingerstyle finesse or high-output low-end authority, this bass is ready to deliver.
