MTD KZ5 5 String Bass Guitar - Delano Pre-amp Upgrade - Excellent Condition 9/10

 

These are known for being amongst some of the most underrated basses you will find in this price bracket, if you have played one you know. 

 

Lovely design and finish, the build quality is excellent too. tight low B string. Mahogany body gives great resonance and sustain. 

 

The pre-amp has been upgraded to a Delano Sonar 3 MS-E purchased at Bass Direct and installed by their recommended tech/luthier. From memory I think this cost around £250, giving enhanced versatility with 3 way selectable mid-frequency adjustment. Push/pull passive/active volume knob.  This is really useful in a live scenario with no cut in volume. Original preamp will also be supplied.

 

The bass was purchased by me from new at Bass Direct, and has been well looked after and cared for, mainly been used for light gigging. It does have some minor scuffs and a couple of tiny dings (see photos) but overall in excellent condition. 
 

Only selling as I feel more at home with 4 strings. 

 

Full spec can be found here:

Ideally I would prefer collection, but if you contact me directly with your details and I may be able to organise delivery. I’m currently based Edinburgh but will be visiting the Midlands every now and then.

 

Open to sensible offers or potentially trades (+or-money from me) for MIJ or AVRI fenders. 
 

Feel free to get in touch with any questions. 
 

cheers for looking

Thanks man, it really is. Makes my other basses feel a bit like toys, but I havn’t been playing in a band for some time now and such a bass is wasted on me!
