I didn't know! I only have this information that since Rob only had to know if I wanted 17.5 mm or 16.5 mm a few week before the bass is completed. Therefore I believe that the neck is same if you do 16.5 mm or 17.5 mm.
Sorry for the mislead

Congrats!
That look amazing. I really love the matching headstock. That is the only thing that bugs me (very slightly!) about my MB2
You probably answered this 10 times already in this thread, but what is the spacing? It looks tight.
Yeah! My MB-2 4 string doesn't have matching headstock but I wish it had. This one is special!
33 scale. 16 mm spacing. Just like if it was build for me

I have mailed many times with Rob, but I have never seen him. On Facebook there is picture of his workers. But I'm not sure there is a picture of him. Anyone have a picture of him?
I'm very excited about the fretted custom MB-2! Been looking for a bass like for a long time and then it showed up. I just bought it on the spot! The next month I will have this RA and my Deep 5 which is soon done . Crazy

What a beautiful bass! Congrats - may that beauty give you many years of joy, happiness and good service!
Anyone else get pictures "in progress" from Rob as he was building your bass?
Not sure if he still has time to do it, but when he built my Mouse, nearly fifteen years ago, he sent me in-progress pics. I suppose he took them himself, but whoever did, is quite a good photographer.
If you have them please post them. Here are mine. I picked out the flamed and spalted maple for the top at this shop, I fell in love with it. I also had him dye the rosewood fingerboard ebony black so the figure in the rosewood didn't compete with the highly figured top:

Actually not sure about the tuning! Looks like a B, but I want E-C as always
Not sure why it has a reversed headstock. I have wrote to Rob about the bass but I have heard from him yet

Rob did sent my the top photo but I haven't seen anything else from him. My Deep 5 is delayed and he says it's soon ready. I have asked him about a photo because I very excited but haven't heard from him. He seems to be very busy

I guess it is understandable - I know he is a very popular and busy man at this point.
Always a treat when you can manage to get a glimpse of the beauty "in-progress" though. Heightens the anticipation, which doesn't seem possible....
