About this particular bass guitar

This guitar came to Butler Music directly from the folks at Michael Kelly. It was a sample instrument that spent several years in their warehouse before being sold to us as B-stock.

Our technician went over it from top to bottom. It is in like-new overall condition but it is still classicfied as a B stock which makes this an appealing opportunity to get a versatile, distinctive bass guitar at a B-stock price.

This particular bass guitar weighs 9 pounds, 2.03 ounces. The listing photos show the actual bass guitar you will receive.

Michael Kelly Element 5OP 5-String Bass Open Pore Black Active Passive Maple MKO5OBKMRC

Description

Deep five-string range, bold Transparent Red looks, and flexible active/passive electronics! This Michael Kelly Element 5OP offers an appealing combination of style and practical features for bassists who want more room to explore.

The open-pore finish showcases the sungkai body’s grain, while the maple neck and fingerboard provide a crisp visual contrast. A satin-finished Comfort C neck offers a smooth playing feel, and the 35-inch scale supports a defined low-B response.

Two Rockfield MK5SA single-coil pickups pair with an active two-band EQ. Blend the pickups and adjust bass and treble to shape your sound, or pull the volume control to bypass the preamp for passive operation.
