These instruments really are incredible. The bass is in immaculate condition, no marks or dings at all. The bass really sings and has the most wonderful tone quality, you can really hear the wood. It comes with a beautiful leather clad hard case. Its had very little live use and played mostly for recordings. If you're looking for a bass with lovely tone that responds to every nuance of your playing and is super lyrical you won't be disappointed.  Cost new is about $.4.5K . So this is priced to sell.

Below is the spec(s) for the bass from Rob Allen himself.

 

 

Introduced in 1997, the MB-2 bass combines the warmth of an upright bass with the punch of a solid body, creating it's own unique tone. It is a lightweight hybrid, semi-hollow instrument that is organic in sound and feel. The MB-2 is made with the highest quality materials, featuring hand selected tone woods, minimal finish for optimum resonance, and high quality electronics that feature a discreet signal path for pure unadulterated bass tone in combination with a piezo pickup. Unlike magnetic pickups which primarily sense the metal in the string, a piezo is a vibration sensor, making the sound of the wood itself the dominant factor. This makes for a very dynamic touch sensitive instrument. The La Bella 760n strings feature a steel core with a smooth nylon outer wrapping, which contribute to ease of intonation. In a word, you've never picked up a fretless bass that's this easy to play in tune.
