SPOTLIGHT REVIEW
Sound: Not much volume unplugged, but it sounds sweet. No buzz at all. Plug it in and you've got monster tone and sustain. Feature: It's a fretless bass Quality: It is simply beautifull to look at. Abalone all over the place. The fit and finish are perfect with the exception of a small area were the nut joins the neck. The only compaint I have with the whole thing is the bridepins. The are molded plastic and they look cheap. They do have an abalone dot but you can plainly see the mold line and it just detracts. I'm replacing them. The neck is a work of art in it's self. Quilted maple is breathtaking. It's a laminate so it will hold up to some rough treatment. Value: It is a bargin for it's cost. Manufacturer Support: Wouldn't know... The Wow Factor: i want it and I got it. Try to take it away. Overall: I am not in the market for anything else. This bass meets all my needs.

Sound: Great... Just Great... Compared to all of the other ABG's out their this bass beats them all. Feature: The Fishman electronics makes finding a sound you like a breeze. The body contouring is fantastic making it a joy to play. Quality: The product is beautiful and easyily the best priced ABG on the Market. I gave it an 8 here becuase i had to have it set up to get rid of some of the fret buzz. After a quick day in the shop ou could confuse this bass with something far more expensive. Value: Aside from the quick setup this baby beats out anything for about a quarter of the price. The Wow Factor: This is probably the most beautiful guitar on the market. When i play a show people come up to me afterwards and are like "Damn, thats one fine looking bass." It is well made and comfortable to play. Perfect for hours on teh beach with your friends. I would buy this agian in an instant Overall: This bass will keep me happy as long as it is in my power to pick it up and play. Great product with an unbeatable price.

SPOTLIGHT REVIEW
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 !! Feature: this is a weak point i did not get any accesories but as far as it goes for me i dont care!! 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 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. Manufacturer Support: so far i have had no need but i know how to reach them shold i need to. The Wow Factor: evrytime i take it out folks go OOOOO-aaahhhhhh then i start playing and they go WOW . 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.

Back to Product Information
Sound: lots of string buzz,intonation is off quite a bit , i am hoping a truss rod adjust will help the buzz, the tuning problem,we'll see.. one other thing,when amplified the low end strings are about 1/2 the volume of the others . it looks great but,play-ability & sound definatly were far below my expectations. just what i needed, anouther fixer-upper.... Feature: it came with nothing , a manuel would be nice ! hope i don't break something try'n to change the battery / adjust the truss... Quality: back-up mandatory ! Value: NO ! Manufacturer Support: don't know who to call ! did'nt come with any info ! definatly will need adjustments. Overall: I'm not satisfied at all . maybe I can insure it & leave it where someone can steal it . if it played & sounded as good as it looks , we'd be alot happy'er .
