Description
Overview
The Michael Kelly Element 4 Electric Bass in Trans-red is a modern instrument engineered for bassists of all skill levels. Combining striking aesthetics with high-performance materials, this 4-string bass is designed to be a reliable “go-to” instrument for both studio recording and live performance.
At the heart of its design is the open pore finish, which allows the natural acoustic properties of the exotic sungkai wood body to breathe. This specific construction results in a wider range of sustained frequencies and a stellar, resonant tone that remains clear across the entire register.
