Michael Kelly Pinnacle 5 Electric Bass, Natural Burl
The Michael Kelly Pinnacle 5 5-string electric bass guitar is engineered for today’s demanding bass players who want a versatile instrument that excels on stage, in the studio, or during practice sessions. With an elegantly burled poplar top layered over a swamp ash body, this bass delivers a visually striking aesthetic and a balanced tonal foundation that highlights lively lows, punchy mids, and clear highs. Its ergonomic design and deep lower horn carve ensure easy access to the entire fretboard, whether you’re seated or standing during extended gigs.
Built with a robust five-piece maple and walnut neck, the Pinnacle 5 offers strength, stability, and resonance that enhances sustain and overall feel. The ebony fretboard is adorned with diamond inlays and glow-in-the-dark side markers, improving playability and visibility on darkened stages. With a standard 34-inch scale length and 24 medium jumbo frets, this bass feels familiar yet exceptionally responsive across a wide range of playing styles, from thumping grooves to melodic runs.
At the heart of the Pinnacle 5’s sonic versatility are dual custom-wound Rockfield MDC5 humbucker pickups, each equipped with dedicated mini-toggle switches for coil splitting. Combined with a push-pull master volume control that toggles between active and passive modes and a three-band EQ for bass, mid, and treble adjustments, this instrument offers an expansive palette of tones. Whether you’re after classic vintage warmth or modern, aggressive lows, the Pinnacle 5 delivers with confidence and character.
