Stadium 5 string fretless.  Super light body with thick wenge fingerboard.  35" scale, Bartolini pickups and 2 band EQ.  For those wondering, Stadium was the brand used for a series of instruments licensed by The Bass Centre and manufactured in Europe by Michael Tobias Design in the late 90s/early 00s.  Some of you may remember the highly regarded MTD Grendel series, which were much the same.

ESP LTD Made in Vietnam reliced jazz fretless.  I don't know whether the whole bass is an ESP or just an ESP neck on an alder body.  The relic job is very good.  The neck is lovely.  Chunky '74 jazz profile with a thick rosewood board.  I swapped pickups for some Lindy Fralins with bridge rewound to vintage spec by Bare Knuckle and it sounds lovely now.

What are the pickups on this bass please thank you.

Those are Joe Bardens.  They work very well and are powerful.  But I’m soon putting the original Schecter PU’s back in.  I’m having the tapped P PU repaired.

I was not getting on with switching between my 35" fretted Roscoe and the 34" fretless Sire V7 and so have just received this today (px with the Sire). I am absolutely in love with the looks already. Fretless MTD Kingston Z5.

WOW!

That is absolutely stunning!
I was lucky to have a go on a 4 string LeFay a few years back, it felt and sounded wonderful.

Enjoy!
