Keeping it. Mtd KZ4 upgraded with Bart pups and pre

[nottswarwick]

Potentially looking to trade this excellent machine for a Stingray.

I have owner from new, and have recently had US Bart pickups and the US Bart preamp professionally installed. It is now superb in every way, a proper pro-spec bass, beautifully built and superb to play.

Only thing is, I am missing my stingray badly, so if anyone fancied a trade, please get in touch. 4 or 5 string.

Yeh, pics will follow. Need to getup first lol.

Price, stock they are £750 - it is one of these, but a different colour. http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/MTD_KZ_4_Cherry.html

I have upgraded it with the full Bartolini Pickups and pre amp, cost of £355 to me. So I think the sale/trade value is about £750 ish.

It's really good, but I miss the Stingray soooo much.

Here are a couple of quick pics I already have. Can do more later.

The close up shows the upgraded pups. Obviously you can't see the bart pre. It is the one with the 3 band eq, pull vol to go passive, and pull the mid to alter the mid freq. Awesome.

OK, so I am not letting this go now. I have recently returned to the Markbass fold, and this bass absolutely kills it through my new rig. I mean, seriously growly, powerful and versatile. It does nice J and P bass sounds, and can get seriously honky if you want it to. Lovely.

I think I will now look out for a nice passive Jazz bass to complement it. I used to have one, but foolishly sold it a few years back....
