MB-2 Walnut #1635. This beautiful Mb-2 features a semi-hollow alder body with an eastern black walnut top, with the f-hole feature. Faux tortoiseshell binding is used, made from celluloid nitrate.
The 34” scale neck is made from rock maple, with a light birdseye figure. The unlined fingerboard is made from Macasser ebony, and features the integrated thumb rest, which floats just above the top of the bass, avoiding the need to glue a thumb rest to the top. I have found over the years, listening to many basses, that unlined fingerboards have a touch more sustain and punch, due to the fact that they do not have the fret slots cut…providing a purely solid fingerboard. The bridge is made from matching Macasser ebony.
Strings are the La Bella 760n, a steel flatwound with a thin black nylon outer wrap. These strings are very smooth to the touch, and make intonation on a fretless much easier, as you can glide to pitch and then make micro-adjustments easily by simply rolling your finger slightly. The steel core allows for a punchy attack, while the outer nylon wrap softens the top end, making for a full warm sound.
A custom made form fit case (produced in Los Angeles by G&G cases) is included.
Mint condition, includes original gig bag.
