A bass worthy of a legend

Having been friends with legendary bass player Andrew Gouché for years and having already created an Andrew Gouché signature model for the MTD Handmade American line, the music didn’t end there.

The MTD Kingston Andrew Gouché, or the Kingston AG as we call it, began in 2010, with close collaboration between Michael Tobias and the signature artist, with the goal of bringing the best features of the Handmade Andrew Gouché Signature to the Kingston line. 

Like all MTD Kingston instruments, the AG undergoes a rigorous quality control and setup process in our US facility from master technicians. The AG features our signature asymmetrical neck and compound fingerboard radius, which allows the player with hours of comfortable, fatigue free playing. The Buzz Feiten Tuning System provides precise intonation up and down the fretboard. The robust, top-loading, Quick Release Bridge allows for speedy and easy string changes, while the Licensed Hipshot Ultralite Tuners provide confidence without neck dive. 

The Kingston AG features a carved alder body, with a stunning burl maple top. Alder makes a very warm, big sounding, slightly compressed, punchy bass.  The burl maple top makes each bass unique, while the Purpleheart fingerboard compliments the custom smoky purple satin finish, tying everything together for Andrew’s favorite tone and feel. The AG also features proprietary MTD Bartolini soapbar pickups, identical to the pickups found on our USA instruments. This bass also featured a custom Bartolini USA Preamp providing +/- 12db of boost/cut on each of the 3 specially selected frequency bands. 

The MTD Kingston Andrew Gouche is a stunning instrument made in partnership with an absolute master of his craft.

Andrew Gouché plays both his MTD Handmade Signature model and his Kingston AG on stage, in bass clinics, church gigs, and just about everywhere else. Interested in hearing the magic tone for yourself? Click here.
