My first Rob Allen

Well, if you're gonna go all out, this is how to do it! Killer!

 

[Stephen]

If so, what was the sound like ?

 

[derrenleepoole]

You guys make me sick.

I second this sentiment whole heartedly

RA will ship my bass as soon as he gets my last payment (I knew I should have just paid the balance already, now it could be a week away)

here are the pictures he sent me

What was the build time from the time you put down your deposit? Your bass look awesome! Enjoy.

on June 23rd I confirmed all of the details on the order, but he received my deposit a few days before that. He didn't start until I confirmed all of the details, though. it was finished and ready to ship on Sep 9, so about 11 weeks (Rob told me it would be 12).

I think I'll have it on Wednesday or Thursday. It shipped UPS ground today.

English Walnut top, Walnut/Ebony Neck, body Alder (standard, no ?).

Built 2004. Owner listed it twice on eBay UK, never made the reserve, though I had highest bid both times. After 2nd auction we exchanged a few more emails, and we eventually met up, I tried it (1st time I actually heard a Deep 5) and I bought it, obviously.

Very happy with it

Depending on the backlog, they can be done really quick. My Mouse 30 was in my possession in a little less than 3 months after sending in the deposit.

Thanks. I just sent a deposit in today for an MB-2. Lucky the check was placed in the mail BEFORE I saw what the stock market did!

 

[Nurk]

Hm, I want one

Hey Sam,

Is the MB-2 6 string now a standard build for Rob (bodies in stock) or a pure custom?

I've been playing a fretless six string and the idea of a RA sixer may be what the bass doctor ordered.

I guess they're kinda/sorta pseudo custom in the sense he only builds them on demand, but he has the templates, so it's like he has to do everything from absolute scratch.

Whats the turn around time on placing an order?

Specs???

Still finalizing it, but leaning heavily towards the alder body with koa top. No f-hole as I'd prefer to keep a little more punchiness in the bass (and Rob says that no f-hole has a bit more punch). Will definately go with the bound headstock too. I will keep ya'll posted as this develops...

Kinda depends on his current workload and if he has all your desired supplies in house, but I think his goal is the 3-4 month mark.
