Looks nice, but I already have a Michael Kelly.
Era o que eu procurava! Thank’s
If you happen to order one through Musicians Friend, you’ll definitely have to have a set up. Plays and sound great though. Definitely recommend to someone who’s in a band that plays acoustic here and there. If you’re constantly gigging, I would probably drop a little more on something better. Or just have this as a knock around. It is a great bass, though.
