MB-2 Walnut #1633. 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 thumbrest, which floats just above the top of the bass, avoiding the need to glue a thumrest 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.
