ezbass Posted September 23, 2014 Posted September 23, 2014 As the extremely happy owner of a Rob Allen bass I can attest that his build quality and attention to tonal detail is the very, very best. Good luck with the sale.
ikay Posted September 23, 2014 Posted September 23, 2014 Do you have a video demo or any sound clips? I can't find much in the way of demos on youtube ...

linfatica Posted September 23, 2014 Author Posted September 23, 2014 Another important thing. It weighs less than 3,5 Kg. A feather on your shoulders!
ezbass Posted September 24, 2014 Posted September 24, 2014 [quote name='ikay' timestamp='1411543679' post='2560434'] Thanks, very nice and I like your band [/quote]+1 and the Rob Allen sounds so nice and fat, yet clear as a bell.
mingsta Posted September 24, 2014 Posted September 24, 2014 Great vids. Really like your band. Good luck with the sale.
basmagnus Posted September 24, 2014 Posted September 24, 2014 I have a fretless Rob Allen MB-2. The quality of Mr Allen's instruments is top notch! I am looking for a Solid 4 and mainly in the model with 2 pickups. Yet this is very interesting too! Will think about it! Thanks for all the info and great music you provided! All the best of luck with the sale! Greetings from Sweden!

[/font][/size] [size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]It provides the option for the extra single coil. But the official Rob Allen's website didn't mention this option.

Mark Dixon Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 I have this bass, but with a white pick guard - quality is superb and plays like a dream - highly recommended
