I contacted the seller as soon as that was listed. He is local to me. I am VERY interested to see what these are all about. I'll relay the info after the meeting... for what its worth. If it were 5 string and lined, I would be selling a liver. |

IMHO, the lines just get in the way on a fretless. YMMV. |

I played this bass today. It is a serious piece of work. I have a lot of thinking to do... Rob Allen does great work and Jerry is a great guy for letting me into his home and playing this bass. Effortless and. Really like lines. I was playing in pitch quitecwell without them. |

I have a lined MB2 5 strings but still it is the easiest fretless I've ever played. I guess it has to do with the nylon strings imo and the shape of the neck. Neck is very similar to the Sadowsky NYC I have in the for sale forum btw ;

Thx for the offer Sly...  I had a Carvin AC40 that I tok in and restored. I got that bass playing killer. I miss it. It had the same vibe as the RA I played yesterday. The nylon strings are nice on these and mwahh for days. The only thing I would have changed is lower the action at the bridge. I know why Rob does it higher for string vibration but I prefer my fretless' a little lower to the board. Great bass!!

When I tried for the first time 2 RA at Club Bass, there was one in maple and the other one was mahogany. It was the first time I could hear the difference between woods because of I could compare the same bass with the exact same PU but 2 different kind of wood. I decided on the mahogany body because it was closer to an upright then the maple which was very fretless sounding and wasn't what I was looking for. I should say that my next gas is a fretted RA !!!! Who has one ???? |

This bass is a good one. Mwahhhh sustained out very well. Good bass. Sounds like an upright playing at the neck position. Back at the bridge it got very tight. Good bass. Did I mention how easy it was to play?

I've been blown away by every RA Mouse I've heard. So smooth and organic sounding and really capture the upright vibe. But how do the MB-2s compare tonally? |
