Using the same large pole, dual humbucking pickups as the Kingston Artist in addition to an exposed pole “J” bass pickup, the Heir can grind and bite or simply serve up the warm classic sounds bassists cherish.The Heir incorporates many of the superior design elements found on MTD's revered US-built instruments-but at a fraction of the cost. Carefully constructed using high quality Ash with a figured Maple top, Eastern Hard Rock Maple neck and beautifully finished in a stunning high gloss, the Kingston Heir was equipped to meet the demands of any serious player.
