Fretless
  1. Y
This lined fretless MB-2 has a mahogany body, maple top and birdseye maple neck. The fingerboard I believe is cocobolo, and this is a 34" scale bass. Typical of Rob Allens, the bass weighs just under 6.5 lbs. and plays and sounds terrific. Aside from the very light, honest wear here and there, it is in excellent condition. I've had Rob Allen basses with both lined and unlined boards, and my personal preference is unlined. So while I might consider a trade for an MB-2 with an unlined board, my strong preference is to sell this great bass. It will ship with a padded gig bag that is too long for the bass, but it does the job.

I will sell and ship (insured) in the CONUS only, and PayPal is preferred.

How long have you had her.
I've had this one for about three months. Now that I'm having two fretless basses custom made (unlined), this one is on the bubble. No issues with it at all, and I've had 4 or 5 Rob Allen basses over the past several years. They're all great.

I just recently bought this bass's twin sister (#972). Looks like the top could have come from the same piece of wood. I emailed Rob to find out about my bass and he told me it was born in 2010. It's easily the best playing and sounding fretless I've had in my 45 years of experience. Here's the Youtube vid that got me hooked..

Excellent video, and it shows why Rob Allen basses are so great. I'd gladly trade mine for an unlined one, even though as it is I'm going to be fretless heavy.
