Sounds like your Saturday gig was in a big room? Plenty of natural sounding reverb. I didn't catch the customer commentary, so I'll have to give that a closer listen tomorrow, too. Love the env filter! |

That's a good looking bass.
Nice sounding clips too. |

That said, I really could not imagine being a bass player and not owning/playing a Rob Allen, at least for the music I do. |

From a manufacturer's perspectve, it's got to be hard to beat hearing that kind of testimonial... |

If it is any consolation, I also maintain that I can't imagine being a bass player and not buying stuff from Rocket Music. i hope that check clears soon... |

Some day I hope to get up the nerve to buy a fretless. |

It took me 25 years to get one, and I wish I had done it waaaaay earlier. Fretless will make you play differently if you let it, and that can in turn improve your fretted playing.
EDIT - and no courage required. You WILL suck when you first start playing it, we all do. Just don't give up for a couple weeks, and play with some sort of in-tune reference material (backing track, CD, a loop you laid with a fretted bass, whatever). |

Only 4 dealers in the US. That smells like opportunity to me.  |
