Jazzy. I love mine. it probably gets more playing time than the rest of my collection put together as I can just pick it up and start playing - no need to set up an amp to be heard(this has marital benefits). i tried out all the usual suspects in my local stores - Godin, fender, ibanez etc but couldn't find one that i liked. None of them had a great B string when amplified and finding a fretless five string was proving to be a problem so after getting some recommendations on this forum I ended up buying the kelly online and had it shipped over from the US with a decent quality gigbag for around $500 quite a few years ago. i bought it on ebay (us) from grand central music and i guess I struck lucky as it was set up perfectly for my style. Only a couple of minor gripes - the B string doesn't amplify well - possibly a standard fault across all acoustic bass guitars? and the inlays were loose in places - an easy fix with some superglue. I'm not too bothered about the amplification issue as I bought it to be my practice bass in the house and Mrs j prefers it quiet :-)
