Wow! It's beautiful - I love the no-lines fingerboard. I wish that I spend enough time on the fretless to have no lines

This bass intonates itself - really incredible how easy this is. My previous fretless is/was a Stingray5 - which is a really good fretless but this really is a big step up. If I'm not too tired when the kids are in bed I might make a small youtube.Wow! It's beautiful - I love the no-lines fingerboard. I wish that I spend enough time on the fretless to have no lines

Once again: people that have doubts about whether or not getting fretlines: you DO NOT need them if you're worried your intonation will be off (not on a Rob Allen at least
)

Looks like Rob knocked yet another one out of the park! Kudos to you DeadPoet, may this heavenly instrument give you many long hours of enchantment and satisfaction.
What a honey!

Thanks for the kudos!
As mentioned, I unfortunately need to sell my Solid 4. Here is the sale thread: http://www.talkbass.com/threads/rob-allen-solid-4.1088102/

Does anyone out there play a fretless RA at acoustic gigs?
I ask as I have a fairly inexpensive ABG that is hard to play and isn't the most reliable bass I own. I don't feel like spending $1500 for a Martin/Taylor/Guild acoustic I will rarely gig.
My acoustic gig is with 2 guitarists and we play everything including alternative, reggae, country, blues and classic rock.
I will bring the RA to my next patio gig in a week or so, but thought I would ask for opinions/thoughts.
Thanks!
