You're my kind a fella
Here's my Mb2 - due to be shipped Friday
I saw it today. Your mind will be blown when you see it in person. Seriously. I didn't touch it though...too gorgeous and not mine
It had tapewounds. Rob said you can put roundwounds on, but frankly I thought the tapes sounded sick when slapped. Kind of like a P-bass but with a serious dose of wood and a little piezo treble zing. Funny because I remember not really caring for the fretted MB-2 sound. I think the Mouse scale balances the piezo factor and it just works, at least for my ears.
It is probably not for everyone though - if you like a J-bass slapped tone then it likely isn't for you. But I dug it heavily...and the bass felt like I was holding/playing my Grosh Electrajet guitar

I was referring to holding a Mouse, not an MB2. I already know what my MB2 feels like

That's ok, then...

I was pleasantly surprised to be notified of the release earlier today. Even if the guy wearing it is a hack, the bastogne walnut beauty you see hear will live on in digital infinitum.

You're certainly no hack, Sir...Very cool
Soft market at the moment. Not much action on my Sadowsky PJ. If you want a quick sale around $1500 would probably make that happen. If you want more, you'll just need to be patient. RAs are not a mainstream bass, so it is a case of the right buyer finding the right seller.
Have you contacted BASSAGENT? - he was looking for secondhand RA's only last week. Check out his postings, you never know...

That price seems about right, given the upgraded top. These are 'specialty instruments' and typically don't sell in a day. That one will go within the week IMO. Beautiful bass.
I think your price is fair. Typically I would have grabbed it but I'm taking care of some family members in financial difficulty. Hang in there.
