G&L Tribute Kiloton 4 String Bass Guitar – Black Frost

Your tone arsenal awaits your command

The Tribute Series Kiloton’s lone Made-in-Fullerton MFD humbucking pickup is so powerful, it doesn’t require a preamp. That means no dying batteries in the middle of a set or always having to remember to unplug. A 3-way series/split/parallel toggle puts you in command of the pickup coils’ awesome power, while master volume and tone controls bring out the broad range of textures for which Leo Fender’s MFD humbucker is renowned.

Saddle-Lock bridge increases resonance and sustain

Another G&L innovation has found its way into the Tribute Kiloton — the G&L Saddle-Lock bridge — which blows away the comparatively primitive bridge designs found on vintage basses by efficiently transferring string vibration to the instrument’s sleekly sculpted, offset-waist body. The Saddle-Lock bridge reduces the lateral movement of the saddle pieces by tightening an Allen screw on the side of the bridge. Additionally, the Saddle-Lock bridge has a solid protrusion on its backside that is sunk firmly into the instrument’s body wood. Together, these two features make it easier for string energy to travel into the body and translate into a rich, resonant, and sustaining sound.
