Rob Allen MB-2 koa sale price £4400 trade for synth/s £5000 Forest of Dean

For trade absolutely stunning Rob Allen MB-2 in Koa, bought earlier this year, never left the house, immaculate showroom condition.

This MB-2 bass features a beautiful 1 piece mahogany body, semi hollow design (with solid centerblock), and a stunning curly koa, with f-hole, made from aged koa wood that has been seasoning for over 50 years. The faux tortoiseshell binding is made from celluloid nitrate. The 34’ scale neck is made from mahogany, with aged Indian rosewood fingerboard. The nickel-silver tiny mandolin sized frets introduce very little metal to the string path, and are also a slightly softer material than regular bass frets, so they keep the tone warm. The strings are La Bella 760n, which are a steel flatwound design, with a thin outer wrapping of nylon tape. This makes them very smooth and easy to the touch, and they produce virtually no wear on the frets due to the nylon wrap.

The mahogany body/mahogany neck wood combo gives this bass a really nice warm resonant sound with good mids, while still being punchy. A form fit G & G case, made locally in Los Angeles Ca, rounds out the package

trade value £5000 for sale at £4400 firm. Trade for synths, modules, groove boxes etc.
