obbm Posted September 19, 2023 Posted September 19, 2023 (edited) Rob Allen Lined Fretless Mouse 30 Bass complete with hard case. Excellent condition. If you are looking at this then you know what it is. Currently not prepared to ship this but can bring it to SW Bass Bash at Taunton on 8th October. No trade offers please as I am semi-retiring and trying to reduce my collection. Edited February 18, 2024 by obbm 12 1
TheGreek Posted September 19, 2023 Posted September 19, 2023 Was this on display at one of SE Bashes?? Possibly 2021?? I think it belonged to @Frank Blank at the time. Amazing bass - beautiful tone, weighs nothing and has that ubiquitous link to a dairy product. GLWTS

GLWTS No don't think it was Franks and it couldn't have been at the SE Bash as I was already in Cornwall by then. 1
ikay Posted September 28, 2023 Posted September 28, 2023 Hi Dave, I think this one was mine! Fabulous little bass, incredibly responsive and expressive instrument. Played it in a piano trio for a couple of years which eventually folded. Brings back more than a twinge of regret to see it here again...

Am I correct in thinking that you imported it from the USA. Fantastic bass and superb tone. I eventually decided that I didn't get on with short scale as my muscle memory is too rooted in 34" scale. Also no longer gigging so a waste for it to sit here in its case and not be used.
ikay Posted September 29, 2023 Posted September 29, 2023 Yes I bought it from a very nice chap in California in 2011. The bass was made in 2007.

Which I bought having played @Frank Blank's at a previous bash
Clarky Posted December 30, 2023 Posted December 30, 2023 New price for a Rob Allen Mouse at BassDirect is now an eye-watering £4350. So this lovely bass is, in relative terms, a bargain.
