33" scale, custom Rob Allen mb-2 fretted 5 string for sale.
Piezo pickup plus custom wood-cover mag pickup
Exhibition grade Koa top
F hole
Nickel silver mandolin frets
Please note these unique, custom specifications:
- String spacing 14-15 mm at saddle
- Nut width 1.6"
- Width of neck at 22nd fret 2.5"
Reverse headstock and through body aluminum string catch on the back to enable it to be strung with standard scale strings.
Comes with a ramp; tape appears unused, but there is notable string wear on it, so it was installed at some point before I owned it.
7lbs. - weighed on travel scale
Comes with RA mb-2 custom G&G case with keys.
Note photo: The bass has an extra hole in the lower bout - it appears as if someone moved the jack at some point.
There are some very small nicks and dings in the bass. I've taken a photo of the bottom to show.
Master Volume (treble side of bridge)
Blend (bass side; has detent)
Full description and specs in my NBD post here.
Rob said that if he were to build this bass to this spec, he'd charge $8,000 for the work.
Price PayPal; shipping and insurance now included. Will be well packed in the G&G custom case.
