tee-hee...(another) custom Rob Allen

A SIX stringer with a purty quilted redwood top.
Even with them dern lines...I wonder what kinda'
piezo's in that thing? Seems awful wide for a
"regular" Fishman Matrix.

At Bass Alone...

 

there are some samples on his site (takes a while to load) -

I ain't sure, but I think this is from an album Rob put out
called "mysterious measures". (again guessing) it has him
with one of his baritones and...??? on an R/A bass -

I'm pretty sure both audio samples are basses set-up with
LaBella tapewounds - not Roto tapes (much nicer IMO),
or... T/I Acousticores. Totally different tone (totally).

Fortunately, Ah...uhh...Ah keep mah feathas numbered for...for just such an uh-ccasion

 

`tain't mine. I'm just sayin' is all .

I DO like `em a bunch...the tone, simplistic design, and the
stoopid playability and lightness work well with my mangled
mitts. Yarrgh, not what you'd call a "manly" bass .

 

very nice! .

I hope that's light reflectin' off the fretlines

 

lmao

hmm...Mongo is intrigued. But what to do with two extra strings? .

Credit? What credit? My two cards won't speak to me after what
I did to `em with the doubleneck.

Actually, I spoke to Rob about another "custom" project. So.
Soon as I get a job that pays market rate or the tooth fairy
returns my calls - whichever come first - it'll be time to put
some more tree huggers outta' work.
