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.

Both of mine were much longer than 3 - 4 months, but I was essentially buying the first ones. Rob is pretty good about delivery dates. spade2you is right - if his workload isn't insane and he's got everything, it's pretty easy.

Just ping him and ask ...

Rob mentioned to me that he's very busy right now (despite that he's taking the time to line my unlined fretless and trim the neck a bit).

He's doing the work despite the fact that the bass was bought second hand.

When I spoke to him on Tuesday to place my order he said he was running at around 3 months assuming nothing too out of the ordinary...

yes....but then it will be a lined unlined neck. it sounds completely different. I'm using it for my acoustic frankie goes to hollywood tribute/salsa band. Imagine all your favorite eighties hits performed with an acoustic salsa beat!:eek:

I've been trying to manage a naked fingerboard....i found myself getting lost mid-fingerboard (up high i was fine).

Anyone have an MB-2 with the extended fingerboard (like on the Mouse on the last post)? Thoughts? Pictures? I am toying with having this option added to the MB-2 I am having built

About all I know is that it can't be done on a full scale bass in ebony since it's really hard to find a piece of ebony long enough. Not sure about other woods at this point.

Really? I could have sworn that I have seen one in ebony on a Deep 4 or 5, I may have been mistaken. That would certainly make my decision easier! ;) Thanks for the input.
