Rob Allen MB-2 progress pics

[barthanatos]

That'll do it! Nice looking body (the bass, not yours). My MB-2 4-string should arrive within 3 weeks. I'll post the pic(s) if I can figure out how to do it. So far I've had no luck posting the preliminary photos he sent me via e-mail.

I'll be looking forward to seeing those pics. Let me know if you need assistance putting them up.

Ships tomorrow! Man, I'm excited.

Whoa!

 

[klocwerk]

that's a freakin beautiful bass, and if it plays like the RA's that I've played you've got yourself one HECKUVA bass.
Kudos!

Expect it Wednesday. Oh, yes - it's exciting, all right. Now remember: there is only ONE moment you get to see it the first time. Prepare yourself and savor it. Remember what your first impressions are! You'll enjoy reminiscing about the struggles to get it out of the box (if you ordered the hard case).... and getting all the packing material out and off it... and, well, it takes a while just to get the case unwrapped so you can open it....

(if you ordered the hard case)

Heck yeah, I ordered the hard case! How could I not? The cases are so sweet looking!

 

[Smallmouth_Bass]

That's a real nice one. I like the side lines a la Godin.

 

[arizonabass]

Good! Smart move, and the hard case is VERY heavy. Great protection, and quite an interesting interior. YOUR bass is gonna get "lost" in the background pattern. ;-)

The crazy part is that these basses look way better in person, scary.

She's a beauty.

Stunning instrument, congrats

 

[arizonabass]

You are correct. I was afraid of what mine would look like, even though I'd seen all the photos. I about gasped when I opened the case. It's magnificent.

 

[JPJ]

Absolutely WICKED!

 

[elros]

Well, I'd say it looks very nice. And judging from what little I've heard of Rob Allen's instruments, it'll probably sound amazing as well! Congratulations!

Ships tomorrow! Man, I'm excited.

Amazing... enjoy!

that is some intense wood!

 

[barthanatos]

Mmmmm... only a day away. I think I might not go to work tomorrow.

 

[arizonabass]

Wipe that smile off your face!

 

[Chunk-O-Funk]

WOW! That is a nice top.

Congrats!

 

[Diego]

What a beautiful instrument. Congratulations!

Beautiful bass. I'm waiting out the last couple weeks for mine... it could be shipping any day now.

I hope mine turns out that nice!
