Legion Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 Peter Griffin style giggle... This just arrived today. Considering I hadn't even got an email confirming the money had cleared, imagine my surprise when a knock on the door was accompanied by a bass sized box I just sent back a Mouse 30, which although it was amazing, it was too small for me and I seem to be way more accustomed to unlined fretless than I realised. That is now a bargain waiting for someone else - check out [url="http://www.knightonmusiccentre.com/bass-guitars/other-basses/rob-allen-mouse-30-fretless-short-scale-bass/prod_908.html"]http://www.knightonm...s/prod_908.html[/url] great guys to deal with. I'm loving the MB2, sounds amazing, punchy if you want it but mellow and blooming played at the neck. Weight is a slender 5lb 13oz and balanced as well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I've just been looking through the case candy. Turns out the bass was made in 2002. Crazy. It looks mint. I even read the manual, which was actually useful as it pointed out to only change the strings one at a time to maintain the tension on the piezo bridge saddle and stop it from moving. Not that I ever intend to change them... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've just bought an '80 Fernandes P-bass, black/maple (I love that combo), and it can compete with almost any Fender out there. Sure, it's not as good as many of those vintage P-basses sold for thousands (and more) but it can give any modern Fender a run for the money. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
