EMG Pickups:

A pair of EMG pickups give you a clear and crisp bass tone with plenty of punch. Their design provides you with a smooth and consistent sound, so you can lay down some technical bass lines without any worries of volume drops.

Solid Contruction:

The Kelly Bird IV has a basswood body - a tonewood that delivers a balanced sound with a solid low-end and mid-range push. The light weight of the body means you can play through an entire gig without feeling any fatigue or strain on your back or shoulders.

The bolt-on neck gives a fast attack and snappy response, so that notes can really cut through in the mix and get heard. The black binding and block inlays give a refined and old-school look, mixing modern design with some vintage flavour.
