MTD Kingston Announces Saratoga Deluxe Jazz Bass
MTD Kingston is introducing the Saratoga Deluxe Jazz bass at Winter NAMM 2015. A riff on their Saratoga bass, the Deluxe model includes active/passive operation with a bypassable 3-band EQ.
The Saratoga Deluxe comes in three finishes: limited edition satin honey burst, satin dark cherry burst, or gloss transparent black. Its maple neck sports an asymmetrical profile for faster playing and is topped with either a maple or rosewood fingerboard. While it comes with stock J-style pickups, it can be upgraded to Bartolini’s as an option.
The MTD Kingston Saratoga Deluxe will be debuting at Winter NAMM in Anaheim, California. It will carry an MSRP starting at $999.
