FS: MusicMan Dargie Bongo and Sterling, Rob Allen MB2

Sign in to disble this ad
All prices include shipping in the 48 states only. I'll ship elsewhere but you pay the extra.

The ONLY trades I'm interested in are:
-17th Street 5 string
-MusicMan Bongo HH 5 string, no piezo, only with the solid rosewood neck
-Alleva Coppolo KBP-4 with chunky, 1.75" wide P neck, 8.5 lbs or less, non-maple fingerboard

First is a Dargie Delight I Bongo HH 4 string. Condition is super clean other than a couple of tiny chips in the headstock edge and normal scratching on the pickguard. Frets have no wear, controls are all smooth and quiet. Case is the original molded hardcase, weight is 9.4 lbs.

Price is $1250 SOLD




Third is a very nice Rob Allen MB-2 four string. It's a lined fretless, fingerboard looks like cocobolo or nice piece of goncalo alves. The body is alder, the top is a nice figured piece of birdseye maple with ivoroid binding, and the neck is lightly flamed quartersawn maple. Condition is excellent, it's got a number of tiny scrapes and dings on the body and neck but nothing significant at all. Comes in a nice, clean Road Runner zipper hardcase. Weight is light, around 6-7 lbs, I never bothered to weigh it. This is a super nice bass, plays and sounds exactly as good as any Rob Allen but it's supposedly a second - it has a big 2 stamped into the back of the headstock and no serial number. The previous owner contacted Rob and he doesn't keep records on his seconds so he couldn't tell him about it specifically, but he did verify there are seconds that exist. I love the tone of alder-bodied MB-2s and was planning to keep this but a buddy sold me his MB-2 5 fretless last week so I don't need this anymore.

Price is $1300 SOLD

Thanks for the offer but unfortunately I didn't like how the Big Al I used to own felt. Cool body shape but not right for me.

You mean cash offer yes? Trade offers are still relegated to the above list only?
