For the last 6 years the Dragonfly models from Michael Kelly have been the most in-demand acoustic basses on the market. The newest version (the third edition) has some important upgrades. Michael Kelly started with a dramatic upgrade in the active amplification system. Now you get the Fishman MKAB system, the first pre-amp optimized for acoustic bass. The Dragonfly also features real quilt maple wood on the body. The tone of the maple is brighter, more focused and has added projection. Other upgrades on the Dragonfly 3 are hand scalloped bracing, a double adjustable truss rod and dual graphite reinforcement rods for added neck stability and longevity. Like with all Michael Kelly basses you get improved feel with a 34 scale for the perfect string response. Of course you also get an amazing looking vine style, Dragonfly accented inlay that adorns the fingerboard. It is made from real abalone and pearl for the ultimate in instrument extravagance.Set-neck constructionQuilt maple top, back and sidesMahogany neck12 Radius34 Scale2 way adjustable truss rods w/2 graphite rodsScalloped bracingRosewood fingerboardWhite triple-ply white and black bindingDragonfly and vine custom inlay of pearl and abaloneSolid abalone inlay sound holeMichael Kelly rosewood acoustic bridgeGrover tunersFishman Sonicore transducer pickupFishman MKAB pre-ampChrome hardware Bass, Acoustic Bass, Fretted Acoustic Bass Michael Kelly H91296M.001.004 USED005004 MKDF5SKB Michael Kelly, Fretted Acoustic Bass |
