Members bholder Posted August 14, 2007 Members Share Posted August 14, 2007 Michael Kelly Dragonfly fretless 5, by the looks of it. I've got one and love it. Not very loud acoustically, of course, won't keep up with an acoustic guitar, volume-wise (nothing will in that price range), but it's got a lovely tone plugged in.

And there isn't a single solid body bass in existence that I've heard that can cop that acoustic plugged in tone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members slapthefunkyfour Posted August 14, 2007 Members Share Posted August 14, 2007 The bassist in my bluegrass band has the 4 string fretted model. I think they are pretty dang neato. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Kindness Posted August 14, 2007 Moderators Share Posted August 14, 2007 Yeup! Have a fretted fiver myself. Surprise, surprise. It'd be bigger news if there was a bass you didn't have! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jmb374 Posted August 15, 2007 Members Share Posted August 15, 2007 That's a nice lookin' acoustic. I spent some time with a similar bass on Saturday. Once the guitard's shut up, I really enjoyed it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Thumper Posted August 15, 2007 Members Share Posted August 15, 2007 Nice. I'm not sure about the fingerboard inlay work on a fretless, but if you like it, cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members bassred Posted August 15, 2007 Members Share Posted August 15, 2007 I've not playyed one of those that I liked. they seemed like they could be good, but with the stores around here and the ignorant kids in this city, I'm sure they are just wrecked from abuse already.... sad ... I'm not a big an of acoustic basses (besides Uprights) but I;m glad you're happy with it!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
