Michael Kelly Club Custom 5 5-String Acoustic Bass features a stunning figured solid cedar top. Michael Kelly Club Custom 5 comes in a natural finish and is all about sound. Club Custom 5 delivers a huge sonic upgrade for acoustic bass and offers the tone that most players are seeking.
Club Custom 5 provides a more full tone with superior projection. Michael Kelly takes tone up another notch by hand scalloping the bracing to really open up the tone. We use a unique Burled Ash wood for the back and sides which looks as great as it sounds. Like all MK acoustic basses it has a 34" scale length for perfect string tension and tone.
The other reason that the Club Custom is all about sound is that it features the Fishman MKAB acoustic bass optimized amplification system. Developed exclusively for Michael Kelly by Fishman this is one of the first pre-amps made specifically for acoustic bass. While almost any other acoustic bass on the market has a pre-amp made for a guitar, Michael Kelly Club Custom 5 features amplification made for bass players.
