The Korena take
The David Ellefson Signature Kelly Bird is a five-string electric bass built around a basswood body and blue burst finish with a black center stripe. Its bolt-on bound maple neck has a maple fingerboard, 34-inch scale length, 21 jumbo frets, and block inlays. EMG pickups feed two volume controls and a three-band active EQ, while Jackson’s high-mass five-string HM-5 bridge and die-cast mini tuners complete the hardware layout. It gives players a five-string, active electronic control setup in the Kelly Bird body shape.
