A new Michael Kelly basses

[user362432]

They were introduced just about 1 hour ago on Youtube.
What do you think?

I bet it's great bass, while nobody pays attention. It will come to the Forum 2 years later, when they stop production... Just watch.

Forward the vid to 16:30 for the non FSO basses.

Bumping this thread because the Pinnacle looks interesting at least. Looks to be a reintroduction of the old Traben Chaos bass, with some changes (the pickups were moved towards the bridge compared to the Stingray-esque placement on the Chaos, the point on the bottom of the Chaos is removed on the Pinnacle, the lower horn was extended slightly, the Pinnacle's truss rod adjustment is a spokewheel at the bottom of the neck, and the headstock is different of course). I am wondering if Michael Kelly bought all the remnants of Traben, including their bass designs?

I think it's a good idea to bring it back. It seemed to get buried under the offerings from Sire, Spector, Schecter, Charvel, Solar, and Ibanez so I am not surprised it didn't get much attention.

I'd bet a nickle that it's a design that the company who makes these has. They are probably just an option they have to pick from when buying guitars. I could be wrong. I like the headstock way better than the Traben. I thought the Trabens were kind of cool.
