MTD founder Michael Tobias is a legend in the bass community; his talent and commitment to quality have advanced the art of bass building to a great degree. Driven by a desire to offer superb electric basses at a price that everyone can afford, Michael created the MTD Kingston series of basses, which are carefully manufactured to his exact specifications. The MTD Kingston instruments feature many of the same design elements and qualities as his handmade American instruments all at a musician-friendly price.
