Michael Kelly Pinnacle 4 Bass

The Pinnacle 4 is crafted for bass players who seek a visually striking instrument with a vast array of tonal possibilities. Every design element was thoughtfully considered to create a well-balanced instrument that feels equally comfortable whether you're playing standing up or sitting down. The deep-cut lower horn allows effortless access to the upper frets, while the swamp ash body ensures a balanced tone, and the ornate burl poplar top adds a unique aesthetic flair. The five-piece neck, made from layers of maple and walnut, offers exceptional stability, and its slim profile instills confidence during performances. The rich ebony fretboard, adorned with diamond inlays and glow-in-the-dark side markers, adds an extra touch of elegance.

The Pinnacle 4 excels at delivering the perfect tone, whether on stage, in the studio, or during rehearsals. It features two custom-wound Rockfield MDC4 humbucker pickups, which produce a modern, fat sound with powerful midrange punch. These pickups, with their dual-coil configuration, deliver a full, robust voice with impressive sustain. Each pickup also includes a dedicated coil-split switch, allowing you to switch to a single-coil setup for a more open, vintage tone.

The push-pull Master Volume knob activates the onboard active preamp. In active mode, the MK Custom 3-band EQ offers easy tonal shaping, while passive mode provides a genuine “old-school” sound. This versatile combination of pickups, coil-splitting, pickup blending, and the active MK 3-band EQ ensures that every player can find their signature sound.

The die-cast MCN4 bridge features adjustable saddles, allowing for side-to-side string spacing adjustments of up to 1.5mm, so you can customize the instrument to your playing style. An exposed spoke truss rod wheel at the base of the fingerboard makes any necessary adjustments quick and effortless.
