Independent shopping perspective
The Kingston Z6 is a right-handed, 35 in. scale six-string bass designed for parts that move between foundational low end, chords and melodic work. Its mahogany body and figured maple burl top are paired with an asymmetrical maple neck, carbon-fiber reinforcement and a 24-fret compound-radius maple fingerboard. Active split-coil pickups, a three-band EQ and pickup blend control give you direct control over the bass’s range, while Hipshot Ultralight tuners and the top-loading Quick Release bridge support its performance-focused hardware package.
