Hello everyone,
I am trying to find the right size truss rod wrench to adjust my neck.
I tried reaching out to Michael Kelly to get an answer.
If anyone can shed some light on this, I would greatly appreciate it.
I have tried 4mm-5.5mm (nothing works)

Hey guys! Just registered for the site. So, I've been playing the same Ibanez GSR200 for the past 6 years, I'm looking for a new bass that I'll be able to play through college, aiming for between $500-$1000 but preferably on the higher end of that.
There are a couple things I'm looking for:

TL;DR I recently got my 2nd MK acoustic fretless bass, and this one is made in China, while my first is made in Korea. Anyone know if I should expect a difference in quality/longevity?
Details: I've been playing a made-in-Korea Michael Kelly dragonfly 4-string fretless acoustic. Using black...
Hi all - having issues playing this new, cool acoustic bass in a live setting. Playing small clubs, live monitors (no in-ears) with amps on stage as well. Material is 80s/90s... think Tesla - Signs, Bon Jovi - Livin' on a Prayer, etc.. I have other acoustic basses (including another Michael...
I'm moving to a smaller place soon and going down to 1 bass since I don't play much these days. Up for sale is a Michael Kelly Element 4. I am the original owner and I have had it since 2018. I think these are great Jazz-style basses for those on a budget. I was looking for a cheap Squier at the...

Hello all,
I have been looking for an upgrade from my 10 year old RBX-374 for a while now and I came across Michael Kelly Basses.
These instruments look amazing for the price. The tops and finishes are great. Has anyone had the chance to play these basses? How is the QC and how do they feel...

This bass's design was licensed by Rick Turner to Michael Kelly Guitars; it's a knock-off of his American-made Renaissance bass line: made in Korea, it's much less expensive; it nonetheless incorporates some of the original's cool features.
Unfortunately, they were only made for several years...

Excellent condition 5-string Blue Sunburst Michael Kelly acoustic bass guitar. The strings are new (D'Addario Copper 5-String), it has had a recent tune up, the Fishman electronics work well, the tuner works well, and the pickup sounds good when you plug it into an amp/DI. The Fishman...

Hi all.
I recently purchased this bass but I have too many and I really don’t need another 5 string.
This is a light weight bass I would guess around 8 lbs which is what drew me to it. It sounds good passive the active is not my thing at all but the option is there. It’s basically new no...

I bought one of these basses recently and brought it to church to play for the first time and was very underwhelmed. The active passive switched made such a loud pop when I turned it to active I got scared. The active switch also hummed quite a bit much more then when in passive mode. A look...
For sale is a MK Dragonfly 5 amber quilt top.
Michael Kelly no longer makes amber quilt top basses (only the black smoke burst). Thus, this is a fairly rare bass.
I bought this quite a few years ago for some acoustic sets our band was doing and it has not been used much since.

Just took shipment of this bass and outside of me opening the box to check it out it's virtually new! But we did give it a setup along with some new strings. The original D'Addarios will be included..
Here's a link.

I am the third owner I believe. When I got it the previous owner had jammed the pegs into the holes way too hard. I had them professionally pulled and redone as good as new. it shows some wear but plays beautifully. Comes with case. Here are specs from website. It was the 97th one made in...

Original owner, always kept it in great condition. Very cool distinct sound either with pick or pluck. Crisp bright sound love playing Bach on it or singer songwriter accompaniment. electronics provide a lot of contour.
Website has detailed specs

I asked luthier and bassist-around-town Karl Hoyt to install a set of K&K pups on a Michael Kelly Club Deluxe 5-string (E-C). This is such a vast improvement on what it sounded like before that I am kicking myself for not doing this earlier. With a set of Thomastik Jazz Flats on it, I have an...

Hey guys, so recently I've noticed a used Michael Kelly Custom Collection Element 5 up for sale in my area and I was wondering if anyone here had some information about the basses. From a quick search I've found a few people talking about them and reception is generally...
So, I was reading a thread the other day and came across the Michael Kelly basses. In my limited research it appears that 2017 is the first year that Michael Kelly has made a bass. I was initially searching for a 5 string p-bass but after another thread I started (Why So Few 5 String P-Basses)...
