"to some this instrument is not meant to be , to thers like myself its a dream come true i had a acoustic eletric guitar that eve"

Feature:
this is a weak point i did not get any accesories but as far as it goes for me i dont care!!

Quality:
i have been in quality controll for some 25 years i find the quality in the instrument to be outstanding. the minute this bass met my hands the magic began as all whom know me are left with jaws hanging at the beauty and the sound i can get from it . the quality is very good. and quality has been my living in proto type and helicopters aircraft for many years.

Value:
it is no doubt to me an outstanding value more than worth they moey they ask i have played more expensive instruments and was unimpressed they failed the tone test i play naturally by ear and tone is everthing to me.

Desirability:
evrytime i take it out folks go OOOOO-aaahhhhhh then i start playing and they go WOW .

Sound:
i love the sound & the tone . i play a multiple of instruments basses as well and have never found the sound i like till now !!

Ease of Use:
i have no problem getting all the the sound i could hope for, if others do have problems perhaps they should closer examine the way they play.when switching from one style instrument to another there is a period of readjustment to a new style of instrument

Support:
so far i have had no need but i know how to reach them shold i need to.

Overall:
it was apparent from the first time i played this, i was destined to play this for the rest of my life however long that should be ! i will likely never go anywhere else but to my dragonfly for every bass need i will ever have as it is now a part of my soul. thank to michael kelly for setting me free from all the average bass sounds that so many have gotten used to.
