  • I mainly play a Yamaha trbx605 since I discovered them. It lets you play passive (just pickup selection and tone like a normal passive bass)or active (with 3 band eq) at any given time. Not only that, but the stock pickups sound AWESOME. All of this for sub $850 and 5 strings to boot.

    I played a $1800 fender jazz bass when I was looking around and I actually thought the playability of the Yamaha along with its build quality was just as good if not better than the fender. If you’re looking for a bass than punches WAY above its price range, get one of those. You won’t be disappointed.

  • Alot of companies make a good bass but would somebody please make one that looks good. The Epiphone grabber looks good but all the rest are just same ole same ole.

  • I never heard of Michael Kelly guitars before this. I am impressed. That Pinnacle version they have looks pretty legit too. ????????

  • I love the scooped sound of Fodera the best but, it would cause too much of a scoop in my wallet. MTD and F Bass are great alternatives without breaking the bank on their lower cost products.

  • One of the first things i learned was how to set up my bass guitar, i know exactly what i want and am able to to get it.

  • Cortek (Cort) makes most of these in Indonesia, modern cnc machines make it easy to make really high quality stuff, usually it's the hardware, electronics and the fret ends that are suspect

  • I picked up one of those Michael Kelly's and I whole heartedly agree about playability out of the box, it feels wonderful. Its nice and light due to the mahogany body, and I love mine. One area I feel its lacking is in the electronics, specifically the preamp. Its very loud like it didnt have the best grounding, but it also sounded a little cheap and unclear to me. For lack of a better word, it felt like it wasn't confident. I decided to change out the stock preamp for an Audere 4 band preamp, plate and all, and whole cow, it opened up this bass so much. Its crisp, clear, and feels like a confident soul. If I'm being picky, I'd also switch out the pickups to something a little higher quality, right now I'm looking into the Anaconda Bass Pickups, but you dont need them. Its beautiful just with the upgraded preamp, and rivals any bass I've ever played under $2000, and even some above that. Highly recommend it, Travis if you want to do a review on it and still have the stock Micheal Kelly, let me know

  • New players now are very fortunate… I started playing when I was 15 and hadn't really grown into my body. I was tall, but my hands were smaller than they are now. My first bass was a short scale, but it wasn't this good… It was a Harmony 4 string which I strung too heavy, so its tiny truss rod couldn't keep up and it warped and warped and warped… If I could have had a Stingray for $600 as a beginner (adjusted for inflate, my Harmony would could over $450 already) I'd probably still have my first bass instead of trying to learn how to defret a bass with it (and failing.)

  • It is strange how a shortscale Sterling costs allmost twice that of a regular scale Sterling.

  • I would love to see some 24 fret J's in a lower price point. I've seen the MM Sires, but then things get pricey quickly.

  • Yea man.. that Micheal Kelly bass wins by a long shot.. they’ll go up in price once people start buying them. I’m gonna have to recommend any of the MTD Kingston basses, the Saratoga especially

  • After watching this video, I went ahead and got myself the Michael Kelly 5R! I returned my Sire V3 and bought the 5r.

    Compared to sire, MK has better build quality and better hardware. Though sire’s pickup maybe better, but I can always replace my mk5r’s pickup. Plus the looks of it is ????

  • The title of this video is extremely clickbait. Musicman a company created by Leo Fender that everyone knows. The short length stingray is extremely common. Charvel is owned by Fender and they are basically just slightly different built fenders. The Michael Kelly I have found a million times online, especially on reverb.

    Reply
  • Charvel is owned by Fender and manufactured in the Fender Mexico plant. That model has a Fender neck.

    Obviously, Fender owns Jackson too.

    Reply
  • How does the Charvel and Michael Kelly compare to a 55-02 or Sire v10dx? I’m shopping for a new bass and play gospel/r&b.

  • I like the 2nd bass the best sounding and looking. Had that Marcus Miller sound to it.

  • Years ago G&L's Tribute Series had the M-2000 and M-2500. They was under $900, sadly the M-Series was discontinued.
